Its always a balance between getting fixes out asap and artificially delaying them to be more "convenient" for a particular segment. Some of the updates do fix things that would allow some users to play the game properly (e.g. crash bugs) and those things obviously should take a higher priority to just get out there.
I'd rather that Valve issue updates that might be released at some slightly inconvenient times for some people than not artificially delay an update that fixes a problem for either players or people running servers. Fixing auto-update would solve most of these problems though. :) Jay Deiman wrote: > Joseph Laws wrote: > >> Friday is probably the deadline for whatever update they are working on. >> > > That's entirely possible.
