Team Fortress 2

• Fixed a case where CritBoost effects were being removed from players being healed.

• Made the Jumper’s Jeepcap and Pocket Medic craft-able.
• Updated the bot navigation files for several maps.
• Added an entry for “Call Vote” to the Options->Keyboard Settings, so you can bind a key to it.
• Updated the gamehaptics file:
  • Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Uber Update.
  • Refined all Rocket Launcher Forces recoil forces to feel more true to recoil animation.
  • Tuned Brass Beast recoil to have less of an impact on your aiming reticle.

  • Added a new command line parameter “-replay” that will increase maxplayers by 1 at startup and automatically execute replay.cfg for the server
  • Fixed another bug that caused Mac replay renders to be blurry
  • Fixed a bug where Replay FTP offloading was not using “replay_fileserver_offload_port”
  • Improved detection of Replay server config problems
  • Replay is automatically disabled on servers if the Replay publish test fails
  • Saved Replay movies that were exported as TGA’s/WAV will report more descriptive errors if YouTube(TM) upload or “Export” is attempted

Unfortunately the messed up max_playercount this time, so RCON will show 25 players on our 24 player servers. Also increased_playercount is set in the sv_tags. Will they get it right next time?

Valve have published some interesting info in this article.

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)

• Fixed a client crash in the material system

Team Fortress 2

• Replay publishing system will try to do a rename for local HTTP mode but will manually copy and delete the file if the rename fails, which can happen if the source and destination are on different volumes.
• Fixed threading issues on Linux, which was causing major lag spikes.
