Valve- Fixed bugs for the TF2 Competitive Mode beta
- For more information on how you can participate in testing, please visit https://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive
- Fixed client crash related to custom HUDs
- Fixed round timer not being displayed outside of competitive mode

Rumor has it:

- The server_ladder.cfg file was modified to add "mp_tournament_allow_non_admin_restart 0": https://steamdb.info/depot/441/history/?changeid=1840301
- ...which according to mattr0d (our resident competitive matchmaking hype generator?), fixes an exploit which would allow people to reset tournament mode being enabled on competitive servers to dodge losses

- Size is ~5 MB

Martyany patch notes for the mm fixes?

None yet other than mattr0d's remark about that one exploit, but if a test is gonna happen, then they'll likely be posted.

the one exploit was

mp_tournament_restart

would completely nuke the config and reset it to pregame, but you could not ready up or cap points. the only way to end the game was when someone abandoned. people would use this to avoid losing elo so it's a good thing it's gone now

s/o to strazyyy for finding it

They fixed an exploit related to coaching mode in MM (thanks Tagg)

Lots more "goodies" coming next update, including fixing that thing where you get tagged as an abandoner if you stay on the rewards screen too long.

Just tested with default HUD on a Valve PL server and still couldn't see it.

do you lose elo if you abandon? it's kind of frustrating getting queued into a game only to have somebody abandon like 5 times in a row to avoid losing elo :[

upon launching the game i crash after ~45 seconds while still loading up. this only started happening immediately after the update. tried reinstalling different HUDs, doesnt seem to help. someone mentioned PREC, but i dont have it installed either.

yeah but the penalty for abandoning grows and grows and eventually you have like a 4 hour low priority penalty or something

Did this patch fix prec? I am tired of manually recording demos or is there some fix I am unaware of?

anyone noticing a tiny smidge of delay with projectiles in mm? it feels like they tweaked a network settings, but interp was the same when i checked console.

aieraDid this patch fix prec? I am tired of manually recording demos or is there some fix I am unaware of?

i feel like an update to p-rec could fix this. i don't know anything about plugins to fix it though (or even if it IS a prec problem) and i don't know if that'll kill the valve signing so that you can use it in sv_pure 2

edit: i'm kinda noticing the delay a little more watching shade's stream. maybe i'm just retarded
