Patch notes: according to steam

Hello people of DD

A little question that has been riding my mind like a "bug" for a while.

If I look in the news section of steam for Dungeon Defenders the last patch note I see is 7.30, the one before that is 7.25, then 7.20 (aha! you might think, its only with .5/.05 differences they are shown! .. not quite:/ (and this doesnt take into account the "detail" that we are currently at 7.39b))

then it goes to 7.16, 7.13, 7.12, 7.11, 7.08, 7.06, 7.05, 7.04, then 3 fixes without any info.

anyone got something to say about this ? Devs?

*editing to be more friendly*

i think steam cant be bothered with DD lol
DD has to much patches

Uh... stop looking at steam and look here? .. I'm assuming it wasn't hard to get to and this is directly from them

Well, Steam has the news feature for us (the user) to see if there has been any updates to the games that we have in our library. Personally I would like to use it as intended.

From what I know, its developer controlled if there is any info posted or not.

Please show a little more respect for fellow community members :)

Naed is not silly, he's an ex-moderator, he's just looking to see why it just hasn't been updated on steam. :)

I'm with Naed on this one. When DD starts downloading updates in Steam, I reflexively click the patch notes link to see what's coming down the pipe, then realize that there aren't any there, and I've gotta fire up the 'ol web browser to truck back here. Not that I don't like it here, just it's an extra step.

it would be nice if steam would show every patch note like every other game

Looking through the news, everything I'm seeing is articles from Kotaku, PC Gamer, and the updates for patch notes that say "Product Update - Valve". Not sure if Trendy actually does these or if they submit them to have it done but from what it looks like, they're posted news from Valve.

That being said, I wouldn't have a clue why the last update was back in April, especially with the current shards 4 DLC available only recently.

All product updates are "done by valve" its them (Valve) that do the roll-out of the patches.

That's actually not correct. We roll out our own patches now with a new system made by Steam (remember Steam/=/Valve). The news and patch notes are something I believe we still have to submit to them to post. General Steam news shows patches from all games, so I don't think it would be in their best interest to have it spammed with updates from just one game. Ill see what we can do though.

And that is what I get for doing a quick reply :P

Thank you for the heads up.

Perhaps you can suggest to someone at Steam that patch notes be tracked separately from news feed items. Let the devs upload a changelog with the patch and automate the entire process.

Certainly gonna ask them about that!!

Thank you Jer :)

Even if the information uploading for every patch cant be done, It would be nice to atleast have all the news about the updates be changed every week. That mean you submit the patch notes for every week to have them added.

Thank you Naed for pointing this out.. MultiThanks for amazing quick devs responses..
Steam looks offer more ways to improve user experience with game.. I'd like to see map name and player count in friends game info /maybe that's just source feature/..
While you guys are at steam info stuff, fill your details in properties tab.. DD, I think, is first game I own on steam without that stuff filled..

Well, from the lack of updates aside from the 7.40 one in the news feed for DD, it would seem that nothing was done again.

Someone mentioned this on the Steam General Discussion. The best I can do is to post the Patch Notes to the official Steam group as they go live. Our posts appear in the News section of the Dungeon Defenders Game Hub.

That would ofc be appreciated, but its not quite what im asking for/about :)

There must be some way that the other game companies are getting their patch notes put in the correct section, i think we can safely rule out magic, but who knows ..

I can contact Steam when we have a new patch. Maybe that will do the trick. :^)

We can always hope Hitmonchan, we can always hope :)

And now im slightly curious about the abosolute lack of ANY improvement on this front.

I know that if i start up DD, it will not show 7.40 as the version. Yet if i look in the steam news for it, that is what it will tell me.

So, thank you Jer for showing how much that post of yours means :/


note to moderators:
Okay, this is post-necro to the utmost degree, but I figured that a necro of a post would be better than a new thread on the same subject.
