[hlds] Improving the update procedure

2010-07-23 Thread Steven Hartland
I must say the updates are becoming a pain. More and more regular and more often than not they break things :( We all appreciate the work being done, don't think for a minute we don't, but I do think that there could be some definite improvements to how things are done atm. First off don't

Be quick on an update and you'll be fine. I've never had much of a problem waiting in line to download an update. That or use NemRun, it will save your life. On Sat, 2010-07-24 at 02:07 +0100, Steven Hartland wrote: I must say the updates are becoming a pain. More and more regular and more

I don't mind the weekly updates and the like, but some advanced warning would be nice. Then again I'm unsure if that's possible. But from what people are saying updates are released at a regular pattern of like every Friday right? Soo, You already know ahead of time that an update is coming

There's really no pattern to it. And despite what some naysayers and those outside of the US are saying, Friday updates aren't really the norm. To those of you in merry old Britland, keep in mind that Valve is based on the west coast, USA so that's the timetable they run. If that's a problem for

Heh! I live on the west coast USA, and they seem to like to release the updates during most folks' commute time. :) But, msleeper's right - Friday updates don't seem to happen all that often. We used to get heads-up e-mails for the TF2 updates, which was nice, and probably all that's really

I would have to disagree, Friday is the worst day and for those in Europe the worst time as well. No time will every be perfect, but atm it couldn't be worse if your in Europe as its both Friday ( bad in general ) and peak gaming hours as well. Ask anyone doing release management, and they will
