Via HLDS:

Valve- Internal changes to the way the client talks to the Valve gameserver network in preparation for future changes to the matchmaking ping system

Rumor has it:

- The GC is being restarted per a GC message sent out just now: "The item and matchmaking servers will be unavailable for approximately ten minutes for maintenance"

- Crates seem to be dropping again after a long drought of them being missing

- geel9 speculates that these changes could be to do with implementation of the Steam Datagram system, currently used in both Dota 2 (after its Source 2 hybridization) and CS:GO
- It's official, as seen throughout: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/70040ea701cbb7877ef24bea7ed7c0e61a70a779
- This diff also mixes in bits from a Dota 2 update (the 2nd one, specifically), for those of you smart enough to not chain yourself to a single point of failure

- Size is ~30 MB

i saw geel's post on reddit about it using a better server network that valve uses for cs and dota, and some strings in the code essentially confirmed it

That's great honestly. It's about time we stopped getting the short end of things

Just FYI, "strings" =/= "protobufs".

Viperanyone else's tf2 server dead after this update

Brimstoneours is dead too

All windows servers running "tv_enable 1" are dead. Change the cvar to "0" and your server will start and all will be normal. Hopefully SM will be fixed soon! :)
