last week's patch did not update dedicated servers will a new patch be released to address that so I get this question every time we make a patch actually, and the answer is always no we did update dedicated servers, for some reason sometimes the and it's specifically steam, sometimes steam's distribution service just doesn't distribute it for some reason, and, if you use steam command it usually resolves it, but for some reason sometimes it doesn't update it through the regular one, so unless we actually did forget it for once but it's never happened so far whenever I ask, yeah dedicated Ser was updated so so like yeah and and I don't blame anyone for asking this question because it's not this is a very strange issue that steam has and and I've asked them about it and they're like no it's not an issue and I'm like all right cool I guess I guess it's not a problem then so like if if I there are two things that I would like to change with steam one is I wish I wish they would like make it clearer when they update like cached shaders and whatnot, so so people are aware that like this isn't a game patch this is like an update from Steam because I get so often that people ask me like hey there was a patch last night but I don't see any patch notes when there were no patch it's that their steam client updated the the Shader files or whatever the cash shaders and that shows up as an update in the in the steam client so I wish they would have made it so it's clear when that happens so that people don't get confused and the other thing is that I wish their dedicated server distribution thing would actually distribute the dedicated servers when we make a patch because every single time we make a patch I get DMS from people asking me like yo I don't see you didn't update you forgot about the dedicated servers forgot yeah yeah and we've so far never done that it's always been like when we push the patch they push us everything at the same time so like dedicated servers get pushed in the same thing because that's how we set up the build system, and I'm sure we're going to at some point maybe have it so that dedicated service don't get updated like maybe that will happen and it will be like a little bit of a crywolf situation mhm, steam does show that it's a Shader cach update where does it show that because I don't think I've ever seen that, cuz she usually just says updates in the button and you press it and you it does the thing but it doesn't show you like anywhere else after that's done that it was a Shader cach update or it's like an actual patch you get like no information at all, so yeah cool those are are my wish lists anyways
