/Rant I know this will fall on deaf ears and that it's all been said before but I really feel the need to get it off my chest.
Valve do you actually read these mail lists or are they a little out of focus up in your ivory tower ? This is a joke just go back to the old way and hand out a zip file, the players hate Steam and as a Server company we hate it too you can't handle the load when an update is released it was OK the first few times we put it all down to teething problems but by now you should have had it sorted you have not and you will not it will just be another problem we all have to learn to live with. I get the feeling Valve has become a company that is so blinkered now that you it cannot see what is going on around it or have too much money coming from particular companies to ignore their products. (read between the lines) The HLDS is 5 years old you would have though that it would be running smoothly not eating more CPU then games like CoD or BF1942. I have noticed a huge drop in HL servers and players since 1.6, every week I get customers asking to swap from HL servers and I am more than happy to move them at present. Valve take off the blinkers before it's too late ! Rant over/ Any news on what plugins this update has managed to break ? and I see this update had the requested Intel fixes :P Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alastair Grant Sent: 15 January 2004 19:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Steam Update Released Steam doesn't appear to be sending anything over updates, in fact my servers have grown to a halt and all network through put has trickled down to zilth. No idea if this is a problem with the actual update or just the Steam network though. Erik Johnson wrote: > The Steam update is now live.
