Via HLDS and the Steam Community:

ValveHappy Smissmas 2023!
- All players who play TF2 during the event will receive a Stuffed Stocking as a gift! Stockings contain goodies for good little Mercenaries.
- Featuring 10 new community maps: Snowtower, Krampus, Haarp, Brew, Hacksaw, Turbine Center, Carrier, Galleria, Emerge, and Camber
- Added the Winter 2023 Cosmetic Case
- Contains 23 new community-contributed items
- The Festivizer can be found as a bonus drop when opening the case
- Added 3 new community-contributed taunts to the Mann Co. Store
- Taunt: Cheers!
- Taunt: Mourning Mercs
- Taunt: Foul Play
- Added 31 new community-created Unusual effects
- 17 new effects for Unusual hats
- 14 new effects for Unusual taunts
- All cosmetic and taunt cases will grant Smissmas 2023 Unusual effects instead of their normal Unusual effects during the event. This does not include crates.
- Mann Co. Store winter sale!
- Smissmas runs through January 7th, 2024

General
- Fixed missing normal map and variables for Festivized weapons (community fix from Woshee)
- Fixed broken lighting for viewmodels in tight spaces (community fix from Stuffy360)
- Fixed missing BLU team skin for the B.A.S.E. Jumper
- Fixed Taunt: Roar O'War removing health after taunting with an honor bound melee weapon equipped
- Fixed not always hiding floating health bars when the player has the hide_enemy_health attribute
- Updated pl_corruption to fix trigger_teleports not enabling correctly
- Updated koth_sawmill_event to fix missing material
- Updated cp_gravelpit_snowy to improve performance
- Updated several maps to fix localization issues

Rumor has it:

- Size is ~660 MB - data capped users should be prepared to take action if necessary

-------------------

This is the last full month that Valve will be supporting Steam on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 before support is abandoned on 1/1/24, due in part to Chromium and its Embedded Framework also abandoning these platforms. Any future TF2 updates that moves the minimum Steam client version beyond the last one available for 7/8.1 will render it unplayable unless you upgrade Windows.

And the servers are still fucked on by bots . What’s the point of this update if I’m constantly fucking vote kicking these ghost steam accounts these nerds keep making, that’s the fucking only thing I want for Christmas! Valve can make content but if it’s littered with that shit it’s not worth the headache. Id rather play uncletopia

IMO VALVE owes that dude some money because he is providing the only real casual experience. Unless they wanna start directing traffic to his shit, I will continue to protest that horseshit I don’t give a fuck about counter strike 2, half life 3, vr updates, new steam decks, I don’t want that shit. They just want the money and they keep ignoring the most annoying problem.
