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.

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.
