Well you have to admit it IS more than a little rediculous. If they
dont want to announce non-mandatory updates ahead of time fine, I think
we can all live with that. But not announcing mandatory updates is just
plain rude. It is more than past the time that the folks at Valve got
their heads out of their asses =/

Whoa. I'm amazed at how frequenctly and easily some people resort to anger.
If it's not my mother, it's someone on the Internet. What is the world
coming to?

i agree , in the past 3 months of updates Valve has literally crushed my
chances of ever getting anywhere with my tiny little game server providor
business.
ive lost nearly half my customers because of laggy and unannounced updates
that keep servers offline for hours.
its hi time valve put out an ANNOUNCED optimization of the game.
im sick of playing evry single game on earth and getting 250 fps, but
barely
clear 75 in source because "free sound list is full" error and many others
run in console lowering fps and raising cpu.
please just clean up the game errors

Alright, this is getting old. For the guys at Valve that don't have a
clue....
WINDOWS DOES NOT AUTOUPDATE OUR CLIENT'S SERVERS!!!
I don't care what cool new tool you guys add or fix to these server
files
but Windows server operators need some god damned NOTICE!! When the
customers that bought your game have to come to us to ask why their
server
is down and we find out there has been an update and that's why the
Linux
servers aren't restarting for 20+ minutes you create support issues for
GSPs. Whoever you got in there authorizing these unannounced updates
needs
to get in this list and NOTIFY US of this shit. Years of running your
servers and still we have to put up with this bullshit. Either run ALL
the
world's servers or have some respect for the companies, businesses, and
people that actually give your customers a place to play.
The group here can flame all you want and I promise not to respond but
we've
absolutely had it with Alfred being the ONLY Valve staff member who
actually
posts to this list and when he's gone we have piles of support contacts
because the monkeys in Valve take the opportunity before a major holiday
to
run updates (in the last case a mandatory one). Get your shit together
or
get out of the business. You shoved this STEAM shit down our throats and
provide no way for Windows admins to autoupdate our servers. Your
choices
are fairly simple. Either code something into the binaries to autoupdate
these things or give some god damn warning before you release shit.
GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
