TF2 update June 25th

**9ball** · 06-25-09, 04:24 PM

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Linux Dedicated Server

Improved connection logic to help servers that aren't automatically reconnecting to Steam, and added extra logging to track it

Added extra data gathering to help us understand and improve Linux performance

Team Fortress 2

Changed cl_flipviewmodels so it can no longer be set while connected to a server

Fixed problem with Loadout Menu "Back" button not preserving the currently equipped weapon

Fixed a case where an observer could set the observed player's view models

Fixed the Heavy's punches not matching mouse button presses when the view models are flipped

Fixed Bonk! ammo count exploit after using a regeneration locker

Fixed Dead Ringer damage reduction exploit involving Spy taunting

Reverted Force-A-Nature and airblast knockback on disguised Spies, so that they can once again be knocked back

Missed notes from previous update

The Ambassador no longer penetrates buildings

Removed the movement speed penalty on The Razorback

So um.... I guess the only thing worth noting is that the razorback had it's movement penalty taken off? handy

Updating the servers.

Jade, you are remarkably on top of the TF2 updates, are you interested in maybe being a TF2 admin at some point?

Does this cancel out the whole thing where you could bind right click to shoot from the right and left to shoot from the left? I don't really know much about bindings, but since people were arguing about it in the other thread, I was just wondering...

Yes, that is exactly what it means.

Sweet, I thought that whole thing was sort of lame, if they had wanted you to be able to switch it on the fly, they would have made a button for it like console games often use R3 for. Thanks for clearing that up.

Both servers updated and running :9

I am interested, I'm only wary about how long I've been around TTP compared to others....

Admins have joined with less posts and time here. I've seen your face and your tactics here long enough to trust you as an admin.

I would say reverting knockback on cloaked spies and the flipviewmodels settings are significant too. I actually bound my mwheel to switch hands, and it did add a little to soldier gameplay at least, though it was a little bs from a certain point of view.
