Thread: TF2 Update - July 14th

[-]July 14, 2009 - Team Fortress 2 Update Released

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


Engine

Fixed seeing error dialogs if the "-nocrashdialog" command line parameter is present


Team Fortress 2

Added an optional per-map particle manifest called _particles.txt, which should be located in the maps directory, so map authors can load custom particle files

Fixed minicrits resulting in reduced damage for weapons at close ranges

Fixed the Cloak and Dagger not regenerating at the correct rate

Fixed setinfo exploit that allowed restricted convars to be set while connected to a server

Fixed tournament mode being interrupted if mp_timelimit hits before both stopwatch rounds have been played

Fixed "jointeam unassigned" exploit

Fixed being able to respawn during the chat time before a level change

Fixed "sensitivity" ConVar not capping the upper value which sometimes caused a server crash

Prevented some exploits based on mat_dxlevel being changed in-game

Updated ripple effects for water drips to improve performance

updating the servers.

Yeah, nothing too interesting. Don't get me wrong, exploit fixes are awesome and massive kudos to Valve for being so on top of them, but gameplay changes are sexier.

Servers updated!

I rebooted a 2nd time this evening and got a 2nd update. Now I'm getting the "Server is enforcing consistency for this file: particles\water_dx80.pcf" error. Can you check to make sure the servers don't need a 2nd update as well? (I'm getting it on other servers also, because I think there was a quick follow-up update. Thanks!
