Valve- Extended Scream Fortress VIII to run through November 16th, 2016
- Fixed a problem causing some players to receive the incorrect number of Merasmissions
- Players should receive one Scream Fortress VIII Merasmission per day of the event, for a maximum possible of seven as of today
- Players who received too few Merasmissions will be able to quickly catch up to the intended amount
- A small number of players who received too many Merasmissions will not receive any for the next few days
- Fixed the Tome of Merasmissions displaying an erroneous maximum number
- All players will have the opportunity to receive twenty-six Merasmissions during this year's event, regardless of number of Merasmissions completed in previous years
- Fixed a small number of unusuals that did not have the proper displayed quality (unique (golden name) instead of unusual (purple name))
- Updated the model/materials for The El Paso Poncho
- Fixed not seeing the correct display name for featured community maps (example: pl_fifthcurve_event vs. Brimstone)
- Updated the localization files
- Updated mvm_ghost_town to fix error models in the spawn rooms
- Updated pl_fifthcurve_event (Brimstone)
- Fixed RED players getting inside BLU's 2nd forward spawn
- Fixed skull's teeth in hell being non-solid
- Fixed hell's coffin tune and tiny spell song sometimes playing to the next round from previous round
- Fixed some players dropping into hell's lava in rare cases
- Fixed big pumpkin in RED 2nd base being non-solid
- Updated pd_pit_of_death_event
- Fixed an exploit which allowed players to enter the enemy spawn
- Fixed enemy players teleported to the Underworld spawning in one another
- Fixed finale particles not being drawn from certain distances
- Fixed certain overlays not rendering
- Increased damage over time dealt in the Underworld
- Added climbable props to the platforms near mid
- Added a nobuild to the area surrounding the portal
- Added signs in spawns to make the second door more obvious
- Adjusted respawn times so that the losing team will respawn faster
- Adjusted health, ammo, and spellbooks around the map
- Changed the Underworld buff to use the Purgatory buff from Eyeaduct
- Players killed during the finale will now turn into ghosts
- Decreased score limit from 5 to 4 points per player

Rumor has it:

- Having troubles votekicking people on Valve's servers? /u/DukeBruno123 of reddit reports that it's not fixed

- Soul Gargoyles will now level up every 2000 souls after your first 2000 souls collected, up to 20 levels at 38000 collected souls, with a description update to match this new behavior

- The item schema update reveals the names for each of the 17 new Soul Gargoyle strange ranks, in ascending order: Pleased, Delighted, Cheerful, Joyous, Dignified, Proud, Noble, Honored, Exalted, Breathtaking, Outrageous, Spectacular, Majestic, Epic, Legendary, Australian, and Merasmus's Own

- A few other script updates, and the other half of the item schema update: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/88a17f4fd347007de7f381cb9584ba70ebe0f009
