I'm still waiting for the fix where they stop releasing so many damned updates which stop you from joining servers every other day.

Yeah, really!

[AmazingRedd]

The updates are quick and easy. Gotta love steam and valve!

Don't you guys want a bug free game. Free updates, free Contents? It's practically normal. New patch..you have to wait for server to be patch. It Happens in every game. Be patient!

Excuse me???????????????????
You are upset because they are patching this game to much? Maybe y'all should go back to playing EA games if you dislike games that get their problems fixed.

I think the frustrating aspect is that Valve doesn't seem to have a mechanism to control patch releases. They just ambush the servers and then wonder away to work on the next patch.

Seems like they could 1) proactively notify a list of interested server owners and 2) provide an opt-in feature that could auto-patch & reboot a server. From a customer service perspective, the way they do it now is odd.

I never liked EA's BF3 patches because they always needed another patch for the patch (to fix the patch).

I love the patches, but i hate how they affect your connectivity to the servers. Are fixes actually happening to the game and the server at the same time? 'Cus it usually seems like they're just game fixes which should, imo, have no bearing on your connectivity to a server.

I could swear in other games we've played, when an update appeared it wasn't always a certainty that the server would need to be updated too. Or maybe the every other day updates are harder to miss.

[Sirex]

THe reason behind them updating both is they basicly rebuild the client each time.
Least the build id changes.
So even if they just did a server or a client update, they would not let you on the servers.
So with each client fix they rebuild, meaning servers have to update too.
Plus the servers have the exact same content as the game does.
Obviously with out a few essentual things to make it play as a game.

[K PhaNTOM]

They broke the rebuy option...

1st spawn, buy deagle, die
2nd spawn, use autobuy to buy deagle, die
3rd spawn, autobuy doesn't work because you used it last round and it thinks you didn't buy a thing the round before.

Very, very annoying.

Of course I want the problems fixed...who doesn't? But I'd rather they test their patches effectively before releasing them so they don't need to take the service down multiple times in a week to release multiple patches. You have to admit it has been excessive lately...
