Hi Dominik and Serge, If either of you feel like releasing your apps I would greatly appreciate it. I can't describe how annoying it is to have a bunch of servers running perfectly and then find out Valve pushed an update at 7PM on a Friday which results in my entire community upset that they can't connect to the servers. BTW - the download once, calculate delta and push to other servers is just so full of win!
