On the other hand, even with a custom HUD the linux version of the game works fine right now, guess this is the steamOS push.

arose"Added a feature to the game mode selection screen that allows players to play on specific maps"
We did it reddit :]

As long as they're not returning Valve servers, I'm fine with that.

0 byte file crashes the game, nice job valve :/

That file is created every time you launch the game. It must be deleted before every launch at the current moment.

Adding, great find! It took quite a while longer than usual for someone to find something.

selected_maps_bits: 4223639358
selected_maps_bits: 1797519182
selected_maps_bits: 0
(all played* 3 games from upward)

so it appears it might be tracking loaded areas* or something akin to that at the end of a map/game? Our bud who provided the file left the 3rd game midway (casual servers, not community).

selected_maps_bits: 318767360
selected_maps_bits: 167777024
selected_maps_bits: 0
(one game on harvest)

selected_maps_bits: 2151948288
selected_maps_bits: 2690566289
selected_maps_bits: 29360128
(Abandoned game of degroot keep)

selected_maps_bits: 1208027196
selected_maps_bits: 16900100
selected_maps_bits: 0
(abandoned koth_king)

No fucking clue what this is for now. Maybe its recording the previous/last game then taking that into effect on top of your elo?

Selected_maps_bits: 0 (the last line) seems to be the exact thing thats causing a crash. the github link from OP only shows repeated fixed32 selected_maps_bits = 3; that under tf_gcmessages which seems to do something

random thoughts: Its an elo/rank modifier or cleaning up how it presents values? having replaced this stuff, no clue as to the insanely high value though.

everything is irrelevant.

My casual_criteria.vdf was empty until I checked off maps I wanted to play in casual mm. Didn't even play a game, just checked them off, started/ended a search.

Oh well, fix is on the way regardless

That's interesting, mine doesn't crash and I never had to delete this file.

If I open it, I get

selected_maps_bits: 4223639358
selected_maps_bits: 1797519182
selected_maps_bits: 0

For those that have to delete it, does switching on write protection help?

Do you have another github link similar to the one in OP? I'd love to see what they changed.

GameTracking would not be able to pierce deep enough into really small updates like this one, so all you'll see there is just steam.inf number changes: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/902eaef646e82f4ef41d4478992719ab9c3d243b

Even if you were to go and drill into the DLLs yourself, you'd be in direct violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, which forbids decompiling without written permission. If you were to go ask Valve and use the "prior consent, in writing, of Valve" part, they'd have good reason to say no anyway.
