I see another update is inbound today. Just had the in-game notification. As per usual, FD tell us in the message to come to the forum for details on the patch, yet it’s nowhere to be seen.
FD, is it really that difficult for you to put the patch notes up before the in-game update notification is put out, so that when we read “check our forum for details”, we can see the patch notes.
They probably don't finalise what is actually in, until the contents of the patch has been copied over into the live build. That way they don't put something in the patch notes that didn't actually make it.
It doesn't really matter when the patch notes are published. Either way it's not as if you can go "nope, don't want those, i'll stick with the old lot" and you'll still have a period of not being able to play when you'll have time to read the patch notes anyway.
Unless it's a full point release it's usually nothing to get impatient about .
