In my complete disgust for last night's update (and having to restart my servers every 2 hours), I completely missed the fact that they released this update.
I still maintain that they need to be more thorough in their play testing with changes like this. This isn't the first time or the first game where an update has broken something and it could have been easily avoided by doing a bit of planning. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 6:37 PM To: turb0z Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: RE: [hlds] Left 4 Dead Demo Update Available I am confused by your email.
