#1 TF2 update for 10/27/21 (10/28/21 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Bug fixes to Steam Datagram Relay (SDR) support. This is currently in limited testing. We will have more info about this when it rolls out more broadly.

Rumor has it:

- As described above, a fair bit of Steam Datagram system piping has been buried into the game, including the "sdr" console command suite from Dota 2
- The system is currently actively used in both Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for connections to Valve's server infrastructure, and is also available for 3rd-party game developers to implement too
- If you're itching to read a practical description of the key benefits of the Steam Datagram relay system in the meantime, see the "Improved Networking" section on the day 3 page of the Dota 2 Reborn reveal, or for a much more recent as well as technical write-up on its benefits (including if you're a 3rd-party game developer who might want to implement it in your own games), see the Steamworks Documentation page

- There's also an assortment of new and updated translations, which are made possible through the collective efforts of many Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~5 MB

#6 TF2 update for 10/8/21 (10/9/21 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion
GritomaI was playing TF2, noticed the update, closed the game, installed the patch and rebooted. Upon reopening the game, I was greeted by a Discord 404 (???) overlay that covered the rest of the game and made it unplayable. Forcing Discord closed through task manager and rebooting both programs seems to fix whatever issue I was having.

I'm guessing I just found a new and interesting Dick Sword conflict with TF, I'd like to know if anyone else can replicate these problems, but I really don't know where the two interact.

Not a TF-specific or update-related fault, and as such will not get carriage in RHI. But as long as your client version in User Settings is "100789", the overlay should behave properly. Should bad overlay behavior persist, restart your system.

Rumor has it:

- FACEIT players will want to be aware of scattered reports of being unable to start the game after this update. Exit the FACEIT client for now and you should be able to launch again. (of course, this means that until they take a peek at what's gone on with their client, you won't be able to play on the platform yet)

- As both /u/Haaselh0ff and /u/DankMemeRipper1337 have pointed out on reddit, the list of Basalt changes mentioned above is actually not included in this update, because Basalt wasn't updated

- For the peekers out there, /u/Elcheer took two screenshots of the "re-tired" Dust 2 middle from both T spawn and mid doors

- This is the description for the bbno$, u mad! Music Kit: "bbno$ formulates 'the' toxic gamer anthem, u mad! Are u mad? LOL get good scrub. Research shows if you play with this Music Kit equipped you'll immediately go from Silver to Global."
- If you're not entirely sold on the kit, try previewing it at CS:GO Stash to help you decide if you'd want to buy it

- A bit of plumbing has been inserted for week 4 through 8 missions for Operation Riptide

- If you're stopped from joining a Private Queue because you're not a part of a Steam Community group, you'll now be told "You are not a member of this Steam Group. Visit their page to join and try the Queue Code again."

- If you'd like, you can view lots of map and Guardian bot related logic changes scattered throughout this update here. There's also a fresh shot of translations, which are made possible as always with the efforts of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is close to 325 MB

#9 MAJOR TF2 update for 10/5/21 (Scream Fortress XIII in TF2 General Discussion
SentiMight as well ask here too
SentiimfasterthanwickedplayerAdded ConVar "tf_delete_temp_files" to control custom player sprays and other temp files being deleted on shutdown
Can be toggled in the Advanced Options dialog
Default is to delete the temp files
Haven't been keeping up to date with the whole temp file problem. Do I want this on or off to avoid whatever issues the last update brought?

If you wish to KEEP temporary files on game exit, including sprays from community servers, set tf_delete_temp_files to 0.
If you wish to PURGE temporary files on game exit, no action is required (default is 1).

#1 TF2 update for 9/24/21 (9/25/21 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via the Steam store:

Valve- Fixed a bug where some methods of connecting to Steam would not honor the -ip command line parameter

Rumor has it:

- A rare Saturday email to the HLDS lists by Fletcher Dunn says that unfortunately, the -ip fix attempt just "didn't", as there was another instance of the same issue that wasn't picked up during testing. He says that another update should happen on Monday to properly fix it, but says "In the meantime, if the "-ip" command line argument is randomly not working, adding "-websocket" to the command line will probably work around the bug."

- Other than that bug fix, this one has localization file updates galore, which are made possible with the continued efforts of Translators Like You - Thank You
