Got crashes? Pont says the solution is removing the "casualcriteria.vdf" file from the \tf\ folder. Alternatively, grab update #2 that fixes things for you.

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

Via HLDS:

Valve- Updated Casual Mode
- Fixed a problem where in-progress games with open slots would not receive new players
- Fixed a case where players would sometimes not receive experience (when playing a match to completion)
- Fixed not getting domination/revenge events
- Added a feature to the game mode selection screen that allows players to play on specific maps
- Added the Vote Kick option
- Players that are kicked will receive partial experience after the match ends
- Maps previously using the stopwatch timer will now play to completion, regardless of the first team's time
- Added a "Create Server" button to the "Find a Game" menu
- Fixed the party chat window sometimes not drawing
- Fixed Australium weapons not drawing correctly in the character loadout screen
- Updated the Dr's Dapper Topper to fix a material issue
- Thanks to Justin G., aka sigsegv, for these reports:
- Fixed sentry buster sounds not being cleaned up properly after detonating
- Fixed a bug related to bot death detection
- Updated Taunt: The Balloonibounce to end the taunt if the player is moved
- Fixed a regression in the Pyro's flamethrower where flames could sometimes damage players behind obstacles and walls
- PASS Time update
- Updated several HUD materials to support mat_picmip
- Fixed seeing the wrong cap limit in the win panel

Rumor has it:

- A whole bunch of low-level things including some .res file updates, and some unmentioned tip updates in the tf_english file: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/f9a27d05e3f731a9db18a843c59224a77c03f636

i only realised today how much it pissed me off to have to sit in a queue to be forced to play some shitty choky goldrush game and then be kicked out after deciding which random team who i didnt care about did better

mousiope- Maps previously using the stopwatch timer will now play to completion, regardless of the first team's time

most often it was a roll, 1 team couldnt push out of first so then everyone sits around for a minute so 1/2 engies can build their shit that can be spammed from spawn before a half that's over in a minute, only for everyone to be kicked out to the main menu. really breaks the flow of pubs.

So far I've verified game cash, cleared out my custom folder and restarted. Ideas?
running tf2 with
-dxlevel 81 -refresh 144 -console -w 1280 -h 720 -novid
and a modified comanglia's config

If you open TF2 after you update, then close it, you won't be able to open it again. 100% broken due to something valve did in this update

RIP ESEA match. I'm fairly certain -default doesn't cover res files, but even after verifying cache I'm getting nothing. There goes the dream.

Can people check for their ui folder in /resource under tf and not custom? The guys in my mumble that are crashing don't have one but the guy who's still running does?

Jill decided the perfect revenge for the decieving thread about forcing a crash in mm for configs to be allowed was to make the game completely unplayable...

neato.
