Thanks, that explains why csgo/steam.inf still reported the same PatchVersion as before I did the optional update.
This falls into the category of unwanted behaviour, in my opinion. Has anyone ever made a case for solving this, thus making it possible to detect optional updates? There's a number of suggestions that come to mind, e.g.: - Add a postfix to the PatchVersion, but ignore it when checking compatibility between server and client. E.g. 1.18.0.3a or 1.18.0.3.1 or 1.18.0.3-optional1 or whatever. - Add a new parameter RequiredVersion, which holds the version of the last mandatory update. Use it for checking compatibility. - Add a new parameter OptionalVersion, which could just be a sequential number for a given PatchVersion, leaving PatchVersion untouched. It would be great to be able to automate monitoring of both mandatory and optional updates, so hopefully this will be considered.
