Update rules every player should know

Rule 1: Matchmaking only works between players on the same version. If you updated and your friend didn't, you cannot play together until they update too.

Rule 2: After any update, restart Steam and the game. Do not try to join a lobby immediately after updating — stale game state can cause connection failures.

Rule 3: If the game crashes after an update, verify game files through Steam before doing anything else. Updates can sometimes corrupt files.

Rule 4: Workshop maps may break after major updates. If you subscribed to custom maps and the game crashes, unsubscribe from them and verify game files.

Rule 5: Check the official Steam news feed for developer patch notes. Third-party sites may have incomplete or inaccurate update information.
