Required updates for Team Fortress 2 and it's dedicated servers are now
available. Please run hldsupdatetool to update. The specific changes
include:
- Improved compatibility for direct sound
- Deathcam screenshots now move the player id panel to the lower right,
and hide other hud elements until the freezecam fades
- Improved autobalance calculation code when determining who to switch
- Improved networking compatibility for some routers
- Fixed a crash during level init related to model loading
- Fixed issues on Dustbowl and Hydro that could occur when a server
emptied in the middle of a round
- Fixed a bug in the clientside player avoidance code, and smoothed it a
little more
- Further crash fixes related to paged pool memory usage
- Fixed scoreboard team scores label getting cut off
- Engineer buildings now explode when the Engineer dies during sudden
death
- Fixed a spy backstab exploit where you could stab a player who was not
facing away from you
- Fixed flailing at the low end of the cloak meter when the player gets
uncloaked automatically
- Fixed texture detail level setting "Very high" not being preserved
- Improved various error messages, and added links to steampowered
support pages
- Fixed scoring problem where destroying a buildable added a phantom
point, not attributed to any scoring bucket but still included in total
score
- Fixed honeypot server problems
- Fixed a rare crash caused by a medigun losing its owner
- Fixed an exploit that allowed disconnected medics to continue
ubercharging their target until they timed out
- TeamMenu now disables the spectate button if mp_allowspectators is
zero
- Added a missing "cannot_be_spectator" localization string
- Re-added class count numbers above class buttons for non-zero classes,
in addition to the class images
- Removed prefixes (tc_, ctf_, etc.) from map names in various places
where they're printed
- Fixed some edge cases where grenades could go through player or
buildings
- Fixed rocket/grenade explosions being able to impart damage through
thin ceilings
- The Engineer's "build X" commands will now behave properly when bound
directly to keys
This is less than 3 hrs old - I'll uodate the servers later tonight as they empty, as both are full as of this posting.
