Gah, chill down. I rather have it like this, than how EA is running their patching... releasing an update with 3429803 bugs in it, wait 1-2 month and release a new patch, that includes 237489 new features instead of fixing all the bugs. Overall I think valve is doing a good job. There are issues that needs to be fixed and they will probably get fixed in time. We all want fast responses from them, and I agree that they can get faster in fixing problems. No other game company are giving so much response back to the community that valve does. And they are still supporting games that are over 5 years old. You will probably never see a new patch for BF42 och BFV, and those are like 1.5-2 years old, or something. /Bjorn _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
