I just received the notice for 4099950 at midnight tonight {x86 version} after booting up from an all-day shutdown, if its OK for x64 should it be OK for x86, Brink?
Same file size as for x64.
Ah! screw it..throwing caution into the wind.
EDIT: all this frelling up by M$ is turning me into a nervous ninny, using the update went OK.
