Like someone said earlier - "spoken like a true non-developer" I am not taking your post the wrong way. Like many here I develop software for a living. Very rare is the occasion that a product is made 100% perfectly with no need for any future patches or upgrades. Even the best and brightest minds can work hard on an upgrade or patch and still don't have 100% oversight/foresight to know and understand what "might" happen (in this case lag was introduced) or the affects of the new patch/upgrade on the existing system.
This doesn't mean the lag bug doesn't bother the heck out of me or do I think it's acceptable. But, did you fail to see that Alfred took the time to post that they were already testing a fix for this!?! Gee this means that from day one (ok maybe day two) Valve was listening to us here and investigating the issue, discovered a true issue, and started created a fix for it. This is not ass kissing as you suppose - I do not currently, nor have I ever received any benefit from posting pro-Valve, or anti-valve comments here or anywhere else. Pardon me, the single and most important benefit is that I have a place to post and Valve does have people who take the time to answer. P.S. Alfred - this post should put me over the top in qualifying for the pre-release HL2 copy many others have already received. I hope you and the guys could find it in your heart to email it to me right away! ;) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Roc Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 2:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] Latest Win Version, HLDS - Lag Issue wow, you obviously are reading my post the wrong way. I was trying to make a point that here we go yet again with another problem that should've been worked on before release! Rolling back while helps is not recommended, can't you read? (see I can flame too) Stop kissing up to valve, it doesn't matter if the game is old or new I was making a point. A valid one at that. :) Regards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren J.
