Hi Guys,

Respawn V13 saw a couple of critical TF2 updates released at the last minute. Whilst the server guys like Sir_Squidness & deadman will do their best to ensure those updates are available on the LAN. Its really critical that where possible, before you pack up, you ensure you run a steam update.

This will help us by easing congestion on the minimal internet we provide purely so you can login to steam only. The internet at V13 was very congested as a result of players trying to grab the update meaning players could not sign into steam or open any of the games to play on the LAN.

The long and the short of it is....

Before you shut down your PC, open Steam and make sure you grab the updates! This will ensure you get the Respawn premium gaming experience.

Jeffy

When Jeffy says "Open Steam", don't just double click the icon in the tray - restart Steam.

Assuming you haven't changed the game-specific "Keep this game up to date automatically" setting, any game that needs updating will automatically start updating.

Apologies to anyone who had issues with the Steam updates hosted on the FTP server early in the LAN - a file needed for the second update that appeared Saturday morning was missing from the server for a few hours at the start of the LAN.
