Steam updating shared .NET, Visual C++ and PhysX libraries

That is what the mass updates are for.

Thank you for clarification. You are based AND redpilled.

So... What does that mean?

Nice looking out man, thanks for heads up, the 50+ updates certainly had my attention for a minute when I walked in from work and glanced over at my system. Now i can breath regularly again !

Good to know and thank you for letting us all know :)

Improved stability across Steam for system-level functions(Windows stuff) when running applications. It's a shared file, but still needs to be shared with every associated pathway which is why there are so many tiny files.

Thanks man. I was having a heart attack for a second.

In other words Microsoft has us by the nads one more time. Gotta love it.

..and apparently simply deleting the directx 9 installers (2010 versions) required for several older games.. Irritating.

edit: ah, they are now in the SteamApps/common/Steamworks Shared folder.

Thank you sir, you’re a gentleman and scholar

Oooooooooh. So that's what's going on. I thought something in my steamapps folder went loopy.

Well i see morely on games that i have, they removed the visual basic and the dot net frame work from many games as for the first time installing.

when you check for redist you will find now:
SteamApps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\

so i guess it always will launch that one when the game actually needs it.
