- Listen servers no longer cause the client to crash upon the second load of the same workshop map
- Added -ugcpath parameter for dedicated servers to control location of downloaded workshop content
- Defaults to steamapps/workshop

All I can imagine is a 12 v 12 bball game tied in with Mannpower. Can't wait to see its potential as a format

so i guess the finder's fee is replacing the unusual max's heads as the reward for finding bugs, that kind of sucks i guess

also did they still not fix the spectator inspect panel bug in huds or was that already fixed?

The new gametype is mad hype. But it looks like it breaks when the server time ends and it tries to restart. We couldn't throw the ball after that.
