Finding a game is incredibly annoying, I have only played the last 2 maps a couple of times. Every time I join a game on Timor it actually turns out to be on the first map (landing bay).
Probably 75% of games I join are either in progress, won't connect or have people say "not starting, waiting for friends, leave plz".
I've played the first 3 maps so many times

It's true, it's useless trying to join a specific map because it's never the map it says it is.
So here's me downloading a 1.7GB update for Alien Swarm...
Alien Swarm
How in the hell is that 1.7GB !?!?!??
The original download wasn't much bigger!
Alien Swarm
- Fixed weapon switch key in the 360 controller config
- XP and level are stored in the Steam Cloud
- Fixed duplicate rows in the "Find Public Games" screen
- Reduced screen shake when you have high ping
- Fixed dedicated server always starting in LAN mode
- Fixed custom item button binds not displaying properly on HUD
- Fixed full network updates causing duplicate client ragdolls to spawn
- Added console commands to change game access on the fly (make_game_public and make_game_friends_only)
- Fixed welding icon sometimes getting stuck above player's head
- Fixed HUD elements being cut off in ultra wide resolutions
- Removed cheat flag from a number of cosmetic console commands
- Now firing, meleeing, or reloading while welding will break you out of the weld
- Fixed spectators earning achievements
- Fixed infinite ammo exploit
- Fixed XP exploit

(Have verified integrity and it's fine, was playing earlier and it was fine, so the game is all there, bar this update)
Just you I'm afraid.

Mines gone all screwed up, it won't change from update paused and I can't launch it :/
Restart steam/delete clientregistry.blob, the universal steam curealls.

Tried that, I'm one of those people who goes around telling people to do that 
Just wait for it to sort itself out I guess.

Also tried that, still thinks it wants to re-download the whole game.

Well since the patch mentions something about fixing an issue with the xBox controller config I'm guessing yes.
