- Here's the rest of the item schema update with images for the Chapelaria 6v6 medals

- It appears that Steam Support may be able to send messages to you in-game, presumably for things such as notifying you about restricted functionality if you get banned for something: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/e180dd3048dc467230ea0a6cb65ab0bfbc9fafef

TwiggyMaybe it's a server side setting? If it is arie the wizard will handle this for us ;)

it is, the issue is that Valve servers, the only ones where you use ingame voice, are the only ones we can't fix

unless everyone on your team has their volume up, "SPY!" becomes chainstab
"shit guys watch out for that sentry" becomes ""
"I almost got med, he's lit" becomes ""

Reddit user who made the initial request to bring it back also took comparison screenshots: http://m.imgur.com/gallery/b7JKO

Imo it does quite a lot for the feel of the game, seeing the before ones gives me the old desire to jump back into some pub fun again, probably from way back when I used to play tons (and color correction was around).
I could've sworn that something about the game used to be different, more vibrant in my memories.. Seems like I now know why (God knows how long it's been broken).

For Valve, this was really fast and I'm glad that they did this.

However, now I'm wondering why it wasn't on by default originally for comp and what got them to quickly change it on the same day...
