Just play with the lag. I've had better connection to US servers than Aussie in some games. Also - A benefit we have is the time difference. Peak usage occurs at whatever time in the US. But then we are displaced by a number of hours. So we are not necessarily competing with the peak usage
Why are you not taking advantage of steams ability to opt into updates of products before they are officially released?
I suppose distribution over Steam CDN still takes a while and Uber need ability to push updates rapidly. E.g they can create new build and it's will be on uberent.com in few minutes while Steam CDN update might take quite a lot of time and usually require client restart if you need update here and now. This is why most of MMOs released on Steam still using own launchers/updaters instead of SteamPipe.
Actually it's have little PA engine inside or at least some part of it. And not it's not joke, I'm pretty serious here... It's support "--uiurl" as well as far as I know so if you extract HTML/JavaScript then you can create your own UI for launcher.
For me it hangs on startup ?? Is it 64 bit only? Yes I know I should upgrade and already have the license bought, but Im too lazy to reinstall everything.
Actually, the new launcher is explicitly 32-bit, so we don't need two different versions for Windows. Few more details on your system? Assume you've played the game before on the old launcher?
Okay I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting etc, but basically all I get is the UberLancher appearing in the task bar and then it just hangs. Attached is my dxdiag Attached a pic of it running while its hanging/blank.
