Always a problem when a game upgrades and people get that upgrade via the server being used simultaneously for the game. Too much constant volume load on it. While the autoupdater is pretty idiot proof (and I guess that's why it works that way) being a non idiot (mostly) I just wish you'd get some message that rhymed with "You must go to the download page at flyaceshigh.com for the latest game patch or arena map before you can play" and just do that. (as long as that server was separate from the game server and I'm pretty sure that it is.) Or a choice of a download link or use of autoupdater. We could always stress not using the autoupdater in events to the registered players.
Advantage is it would free up the server that's being used by those at least trying to play the game and already have all the necessary files. That way all the screweyness that goes with a max'd out server that we get in these events on update nights would not exist. Or at least be largely minimised.
Always been a pet peave of mine.
