One other thing I might point out... In defense of those who are upset about this (myself excluded)
The first time, understandable. The second announcement was, and I quote... "The update should be released in about *an hour*. You'll know as soon as we do it because your server will report that it's out-of-date." Now we can argue this til we're all blue in the face (or until the update is released heh) but the fact is, you just don't usually make an announcement 1 hour before release, then "find" bugs. If you are running a smooth shop, that doesn't happen often. I think you all know that! Once you hit the "hour" line, the product should be DONE... Not kinda done, not "we're still testing" done, I mean really DONE, ready to ship. Now in defense of Valve, or maybe more specifically Eric, I seriously doubt he is doing this to play with you all. The bug is very real I'm sure, and I for one am happy it's being fixed now, and not later with yet another patch. Server admins hate patches and for good reason. In other words, if Eric could release it, it's safe to assume he would at this point. I, like a few others, just hope this doesn't change the release date for either the DOD:S server or client. Good luck Valve :) -Smurf Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:37:16 -0500 From: Genocidal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] RE: Mandatory Source engine update later today... Reply-To: [email protected] -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm talking about false announcements. I love it when an official spokesperson from VALVe posts on here. Don't get me wrong, I'm just tired of being let down by oh here it comes wait not yet, almost here, woops not yet hang on. That kind of stuff. I'm not here to rail on valve for doing something wrong. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
