Hi Roman, Here you find the links for the Rollback. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=415184
I'd problems too after update from 8th march (32 slot dods server were laggy like hell) and with rollback it runs perfect again. There are a few threads in the board about this problem but until now, no one cares about it from valve. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=414649 Best regards, Thomas Roman Hatsiev wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I've got some pretty vague problem report.
