So I am not a tech guy

I'll say that again, I am not a tech guy


I remember when I first started this game, few years back, we had what seemed like weekly "updates" "repairs" "patches" idk what you wanna coin it as. So now I have noticed they don't seem to do this, like ever. It was routine for me for a while, get home on monday, download patch while I took a shower then get to gaming. This is not the case anymore.

So what gives, is this why everything seems to lag now and cyro runs like the tin man before oil? Have they gotten lazy? What is the reason for the end of all these, for lack of better word "upkeep" patches. Or does none of this have to do with anything.

    We have maintenance regularly. It’s never always been a patch but most weeks have maintenance. Pretty sure all platforms get maintenance this week.

    The game goes though a repeated cycle about every 90 days

    DLC drops
    instant fix the oversights that were reported on PTS
    patch the new bugs
    patch the patch
    <goto (pick 1 of 2, 3, 4 above)> a few times

    return to maintenance every 2 weeks or so
    goto 1

    maybe in 2 or 3 weeks we'll go back to every 2 or so weeks again, but atm we are in the DLC has dropped loop

    I feel like it was alot more routine though like I remember every Monday downloading a small patch. Maybe I'm not as clear as I thought but I felt like it was much, much more routine.

    So I think the funniest thing is. I just got home and out of the shower and guess what.

    Monday patch.

    Well if anyone can call today's tiny patch a patch.
    I almost laughed when I looked on today's patch notes.
    They barely fixed anything and if they fixed something, it wasn't really important.
    They used to fix a lot more in incremental patches even outside the PTS cycles or DLC quarter, but ever since a few updates ago, they "fix" the majority of issues or add new content every 3 months, DLC quarter.
    The current state of the game requires monthly updates, not quarterly update.
