Patch Notes

Via HLDS:

Valve- Fixed an exploit related to not respawning in the spawn room at the beginning of Casual and Competitive matches
- Fixed Pyros griefing teammates by attacking them with the flamethrower
- Fixed Medics getting a permanent speed boost after healing a charging Demoman
- Fixed Medics getting the Demoman's charging speed when using Mediguns other than The Quick-Fix
- Fixed the Strange Razorback double-counting the number Spies shocked
- Fixed a bug related to the Sniper's zoom and taunting
- Fixed players being able to pick-up the PASS Time jack while they are stunned
- Increased the matchmaking system's preference for matching large pre-made parties against each other in Casual Mode. This should result in more balanced matches, but may cause a slight increase in queue times for larger parties.

Rumor has it:

- sigsegv__ (everyone's resident responsible bug reporter that allows Valve to take them out back) provides some additional insight on reddit into the flamethrower griefing bug that was fixed

- Only thing of real note in this GameTracking diff is the fact that the TF2Maps 72hr TF2Jam Summer Participant medal is now nameable, and a typo was fixed in The Black Watch's description, where "battalion" was misspelled as "batallion"

- Those changes are also reflected in the item schema update as well: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/1c958a9b23c1e3fb4884d224eba618955ad76745

Valve- Fixed Pyros griefing teammates by attacking them with the flamethrower

how is that even fixable?
do the flames turn invisible if they're covering your screen for too long now?

It was probably another teamkill bug, not that thing where you blind snipers.

In Casual mode? The update didn't touch competitive matchmaking besides the spawn room fix.

If you start healing a demo as soon as he started charging you would have that charge speed until you loose your beam/heal someone else
Fixed now tho
