When you start up the game it downloads the update automatically and
after it's installed it tells you to restart the game...very slick.

No you have to click on multiplayer.. then click on the update server etc...
it will auto download and install, then restart the game for you.

You need to go into Multiplayer > Display list of games. It will show
you that there is a patch available and gives you a list of mirrors to
download from. It downloads, unzips, and restarts LFS.
