Question to the Valve Team: Why do you guys always release new Steam updates for servers late in the day like 5pm ?
Don't you guys know that is when people start to get home from work and try to get on all the CS:Source servers ? Meanwhile people that are game hosts are scrambling trying to update all the source servers on an overloaded Steam network. I have been staring at a screen running an update for over an hour on the west coast and not a single file has been pulled down or moved. It's in the "updating mode" Please have a heart and release new updates in the morning instead of the end of the day to give server admins ample time to update servers before it hits prime gaming time. Either that or fix the problem with the Steam network getting overloaded and unable to supply updates quickly. I'd be fine with a slow network if the updates were released in the morning. I'm sure other game hosts would say the same thing. I hope someone actually reads this... - Watching Steam update is like watching the grass grow.. you look but you aren't really sure you are seeing something move... --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Send hlds mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of hlds digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
