How is this update STILL not out on Steam? The updates used to go out to Steam users really quickly, but lately it seems like we're being forgotten. Sure you can manually install it but the purpose of using Steam for gaming is to have an all in one package where you don't have to worry about going out to install updates on all of your games manually.
Please have a little patience. We are currently testing the Steam package for release.
We actually had a window of opportunity to have this released on Steam just before the holiday break, but the date meant that we would have absolutely no chance to fix or rollback (before the holidays) if a major issue was discovered. Given the absence of a player-initiated "switch to an older version" functionality in Steam, this would have left you with a problematic build for almost 3 weeks. Not a very appealing scenario, yes? So instead we chose to keep it a manual opt-in until now.
Have faith. There is a good reason for every choice we make - even the choices that turn out wrong or unfortunate.
