Patches, downloads, and /steam

[guenzak]

Hey all!!!

I'm new to Steam but i've been reading that it is supposed to automatically download patches and updates but i don't this my steam client has been. I see that there has been some patches but how do i make steam download and install it and how do i check to make sure it's been done.

I've used impulse before for stardock games and the interface is really simple to use and see your patches and updates.
Steam interface confuses the hell out of me.

It will update automatically every time you restart Steam in online mode. If you play in off line mode it won't. So just restart steam & go into online mode and then Civ V.
