No one has said that there's another patch. This was, in fact, final changes for the server and localized languages. Lets not infer things erratically, guys.

My mistake... This confused me (and others I'm sure)

Thanks for clearing that up!

This is a problem with how Steam currently patches titles, not with TWI.

But Tripwire must obviously be aware of the limitations of the platform they're using to distribute the game, and like I said, 2 2+ GB patches after a preload on release day indicates poor planning in my mind - I appreciate them working until the very last minute to get rid of as many bugs as they can and ensure that what is released is a polished 'final' product, but you must understand why somebody with a slower internet connection or a bandwidth cap would be frustrated by the current system.

Is Tripwire only allowed to release patches through Steam? Could they not make their own patcher that manually updates only the files that need updating rather than updating entire files of which only a small part was modified? That's not a hypotehtical question - I'm really asking - would that be possible?

If you are using Steamworks and using the Steam Platform, it is to my knowledge that you must run your patches through steam first, so no, a standalone patcher like you see for MMOs doesn't usually work for FPS games.

It's just the way it is. The way it's always been years prior.

That was @ 8:49 pm, over an hour after i had started my current patch download,to me that seemed as if there was more files just submitted to valve therefore suggesting yet another download, ie to us mere mortals that seems like another patch hence why we thought there was another patch.

Thanks for your reply.

I understand Cully, but for future reference, we'd tell you in the same post that there's another change that needs to be downloaded =)

actually you can download patches the old fastion way without steam the only thing is you need to turn the "steam keeps my games up to date" off.
