We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The notes for the update are below. The new version is 1884404.

- The in-game player status panel has been updated to show an animated image of your character with their current loadout

- Added Romevision sharing: anyone playing Mann vs. Machine on the same server with an owner of the Hardy Laurel can now opt-in to Romevision
- Manage your Romevision preference in the Advanced Options dialog
- Fixed a bug that would prevent Jarate and Mad Milk from applying to all targets within range
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Marked For Death icon to stay in the world after the owning player died

- Fixed a problem that would cause the shotgun shell model to appear incorrectly third-person when using the Family Business
- Improved bot pathing behavior around ramps
- Bots can now reflect energy-based projectiles
- Fixed incorrect alpha in the backpack images for the Valley Forge and the Founding Father
- The Foppish Physician and the Distinguished Rogue are now paintable and are team-colored by default
- Added server log entries for jarate_attack and milk_attack when using Jarate, Mad Milk, or the Sydney Sleeper
- Fixed using an incorrect path for downloaded custom player sounds
- Fixed duplicate support/mission icons in the Mann vs. Machine HUD
- Don't allow players without admin access on the server to use the various entity-creating commands to create point_servercommand entities
- Updated cp_egypt_final
- Fixed players building inside of Blu's first spawn
- Updated cp_manor_event

EDIT: Crash is caused by custom huds. Probably because of the 3d character thing

HUD FIX:

Put cl_hud_playerclass_use_playermodel 0 in your autoexec.

Simpler than the above method.

- The in-game player status panel has been updated to show an animated image of your character with their current loadout

Just an FYI, but This changes the class image in the Default HUD to show your loadout:

It's the clear glass, not the one with the mesh in it. Assuming they are separate entities.

Also this notification pops up every time I restart my game to disable the 3d shit.
