Changelog in Steam Updates
« on: November 04, 2009, 07:22:07 pm »
I just received an update from Steam, at least, I'm pretty sure I did. Usually, when one of my games update, I check out the changelog to see what has changed, so I am aware of the changes, so I can test them out and see if there's anything broken. When I went to check the changelog, there was none. I don't know if it's Steam's fault, whether there was no changes, or because maybe x4000 does not know how to post a changelog(?) but it would be awesome if there was a changelog. I like knowing what's happening, and how the game is progressing. I hope this hasn't been posted before, or that I missed something.

I hope this post does not come across as rude or demeaning, I was just wondering why there was no changelog, and would like to see it in future updates!!!

Thank you guys for an awesome game!
Mario Lopez

The initial release on Steam was version 2.0, and this is still the most recent version. Changelogs are always published with each new release on the site. Perhaps Steam reinstalled the game prerequisites, or a different game was updated?

No, definitely Steam, since I clicked Update Details, and it gave me the original 2.0 release log. Maybe since I purchased it yesterday it was refreshing the game details or something?

So far as I know, nothing has changed -- they may have been tweaking the prereqs to try to fix the issues people are having with that, I don't know.  I think the changelog is blank because there have been no changes since we have been on Steam.  I expect Valve will set up a changelog when the first free DLC to hit Steam arrives in December.

Okay thanks for the update. I guess that's what happened. Sorry to waste your time. :(

Not a problem at all, it's good to check.  If you hadn't asked, I'm sure someone else would have eventually, and now people can just refer to this instead! :)
