What Ironpony said is correct. Max was fiddling with some stuff related to steam. To our knowledge there is no change to the game itself, hence the build number remains unchanged.
Hopping this has to do with the server browser bug that displays all server pings triple what they really are. Then you log into the game and your ping is just fine. I should take a screen shot and post it. I feel as if the server browser is displaying the accurate pings but once you are in the game it is not accurate.
The only way to stop Max's insidious updates is to go to Steam -> Settings -> Downloads -> Location -> Russia.
In my case, this advice would only speed things up :P
I live in Holland, and since a few weeks Steam-download wasn't working well anymore....got "download suspended" everytime when trying to dl a game.
So I changed my dl location from NL to Taiwan, and all of a sudden it worked!
Peak dl was 7.9Mb/sec, average 5.4 hahaha.
I can't download mods any longer (error code 16/timeout), unless I manually delete the workshop folder in /users/.../appdata/.../natural selection 2/workshop/ (have to do that every time before being able to join a modded server).
Yes joohoo could be, or something to do with the infamous and mysterious 'goldmachine' UWE has been developing.
I hear rumours it involves Hugh, the internets, children and canned tomatos... Tum tum Tum tum...
It's the secret to why NS2 is so CPU-intensive. Every LUA loop has hidden bit-coin mining code that helps pay for the endless development of NS2. That's why they keep having the sales and free weekends, the influx of new players pays big :P

Nothing of importance / carry on.
we demand our change logs, even if its all tech-talk we cant understand!
I wouldn't trust what Ironhorse says. He does not work for UWE and is merely a bug tester (his words). Should wait for a dev to post.
to be clear, we were doing internal stuff with Max at the time this occurred and that's all I think I can say about that
Sorry if we got your hopes up. :P
PutCashIn: Games Turned to Poos.
Players: No it ain't.
John Key: I'm looking for terrorists.
the greater good.
the greater good!

Is that an intended part of the update?
fuck workshop, fuck steam
Funny but if you're serious, as far as i can tell that 96mb went to directx files?
Okay, if you say so... hold on, I got the policy to never trust anyone with over 999 posts!
