Good luck with a system which have to update 20 different games and deploy this over 100 servers. Some times this new tool have some strange problems. And then? Tell 1000 angry costomers that they do have to wait? No go for server companies. Only way at the moment is to setup more than one master server which deploys the updates. A 2nd chance is to use the autoupdate. Ok 300 of the 1000 customers are downloading at the same time. Its funny Am 21.02.2013 00:04 schrieb "E. Olsen" <[email protected]>:
