    Just wondering. There are always a lot of questions and alleged issues that are answered in the patch notes.

      I eventually get around to reading all the patch notes. Usually I start out just skimming and will return later to thoroughly read them.

      I always read them, even sections for pack I don’t have.

      I read them in their entirety, usually before I start playing after the patch.

      I normally read them if I plan to install the patch. But lately I've been busy with a film project and not wanting to change anything until I'm done. My game runs well, so I'd be silly to install anything right now.

      For patch notes they're really well written, and they contain a lot of pertinent info. I'm glad someone takes the time to make the little jokes and stuff, otherwise they'd be very dry.

      I do not update my game before having read the patchnotes.

      Yes I read them all (not that I remember everything listed if it's a large patch), usually while the game is updating, then load up the game afterwards. :smile:

      Yes, I do read them. I even enjoy the humor employed in the run down of the changes. Makes it bearable, otherwise they'd be a pretty dry read. ;)

      Yes I always read them. Unfortunately I don't retain all the info with one read lol... Usually the stuff I wanted sticks out for me.

      Besides seeing what got patched in, the notes are so funny. Some of the small things makes me happy such as the table settings will not disappear anymore. I’m like yes! I really love that cute feature in game.

      I install all patches, but also like reading the patch notes. If I've only skimmed through them for the first time, I will return to them later.

      The patch notes are quite funny, so I read them. And then there are some bugs where I want to know if they're fixed.

      I always fully read the patch notes for every game I play. Otherwise I would probably be oblivious to a lot of changes. :D

      For big updates like this I definitely read them, otherwise I'll skim.

      I'm always excited to read about a bugfix of a problem that has been, well, bugging me for a while.

      Of course, because the detective career is still broken after two years.

      Sort of comes with the 'job description' but yeah, I love reading patch notes.

      I check for bug fixes, as that is the only information I find important. Not really into their attempt at comedy within them though.

      I look forward to reading the patch notes. I generally start the patch download and read while it installs.

      Absolutely. I wish everyone did the same. It does get irritating seeing repeat questions about things that are explained in the notes.

      Agreed. I always, always read them just as I would patch or update notes for any other piece of software.

      Every single time. I want to know what, if any, bugs are fixed and I like the commentary! I know it annoys some of you, but I think their jokes are funny.
