Email from Chet Faliszek - patch THIS week

Blackgaze · 01-12-2009, 09:51 AM

"Sadly Microsoft has nothing to do with the pc patch... that delay is all us. The PC and 360 will be patched independently not sure where people picked up that exploit/bug fixing was tied together. Only the DLC will be simultaneous. The problem on the PC side was a few large bugs affected other systems that we were going to rewrite on the pc so we ended up waiting to fix a whole class of bugs instead of just individual bugs. The patch should be out this week.

Thanks

Chet"

Ok, I don't want any trolling or anything greatly negative from people in this thread. I think we should rejoice and NO mentioning of Valve time. In this thread we appreciate Chet and the staff members of Valve for preparing this long-awaited and well-earnt patch which a different company would just waste our time.

Thank you Chet and Valve!

*edit*

Not everyone saw the screenshot of the email on page 2, some people have questioned me if it was true.

My email has been edited out for obvious reasons.

this is what most of the community wanted. Communication.

Thanks!

At least now we know why.

hope it is worth the wait

/crosses fingers

EDIT: Although his reply implies that this patch will not have any new content, just fixes. Interesting.

Danny Internets · 01-12-2009, 09:54 AM

So that patch will be out next month then?

harakiri · 01-12-2009, 09:54 AM

about freaking time. thx for posting...

glad to hear they dont patch Xbox and PC at the same time.

Why is valve not posting some news about this??

moosenukes · 01-12-2009, 09:54 AM

I just wish it was through the blog instead of a random email that the majority of players will never see

Awesome ! To complete your thread, here is what I have found on Left4Dead forums : http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2120/l4dupdateiy8.jpg

Well realize he mentioned the patch is to fix bugs, not the Update ... the UPDATE will include maps for Versus and DLC

I hope this is the truths.

Wolv34ine · 01-12-2009, 09:56 AM

Was that mail to you directly or are we still waiting for someone to take the time to post on the forums and give us some communication rather than just you ( who was kind enough to share)?
