#1 TF2 update for 12/1/17 (12/2/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Added the Chapelaria 6v6 Season 3 tournament medals
- Contract loaner items no longer have an expiration date
- Players viewing their ConTracker can no longer move or attack
- Fixed the main menu not updating its layout after a resolution change
- Fixed the Engineer's ConTracker animation
- Fixed the Medic, Sniper, and Engineer not un-hiding their weapons at the end of the ConTracker animation
- Fixed item collections sometimes incorrectly marking items as owned
- Fixed rendering issues with the Infernal Flames, Infernal Smoke, Cloudy Moon, It's A Secret To Everybody, Ancient Eldritch, Eldritch Flame, and Death by Disco unusual effects
- Updated the materials for Mandrew's Munificent Mug

Rumor has it:

- Australians, if you were having issues with the Sydney cluster being offline, some IPs were swapped around in the Steam Datagram system configuration. Give it another try, they should be back in functioning order again

- What you see above is what you're getting - no hidden tricks in this one

#1 CS:GO update for 12/1/17 (1.36.1.7) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ AUDIO ]
-Made bomb plant and bomb defuse sounds more audible with sound occlusion on.
-Fixed an exploit that allowed ambient sounds to be completely disabled.

[ MISC ]
-Re-enabled SSE4 optimizations for string tables and added -nosse4 command line option to disable SSE4.
-“find” console command now allows specifying multiple search strings. For example, “find decal r_” will find commands and variables that contain both “r_” and “decal”.

Rumor has it:

- To fix the ambient sounds issue, the scripts to control them have been moved into the VPK file structure to make them protected by sv_pure (and they got extension changes too)

- Size is ~20 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 11/28/17 (11/29/17 UTC, 1.36.1.6) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ AUDIO ]
– Improved performance of 3D audio. Positional audio is much more responsive when turning quickly.

[ War Games ]
– Players can now select from 3 maps during end-of-match voting in War Games.
– Added convars controlling end of match voting setup to simplify management of War Games community servers.

[ Misc ]
– Server HTTP log delivery will now have correct timestamps on log lines which occured before the remote listener was registered.
– Smoothed out game server hitching when a new player connects and downloads initial game state.
– Fixed occasional crash affecting official game servers.
– Fixed the extra 3 second delay in GOTV+ broadcast in some cases.
– SSE4 optimizations in network string tables to reduce server hitches on connection of new player.
– Console output of the game server can now be timestamped using “con_timestamp” convar.

[ TRUST FACTOR ]
– Updated trust algorithm based on data and feedback.

To help us further improve the Trust Factor, send us an email at CSGOTeamFeedback@valvesoftware.com with the subject “Trust Factor Feedback” and include a description of your experience and your Steam ID.

Rumor has it:

- Looks like we're getting Series 3 pins at some point: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/c096a217e607242f7ab687a3a24ac8df7134525f

- New pins include:
- Guardian 3 Pin
- Canals Pin
- Welcome to the Clutch Pin
- Death Sentence Pin
- Inferno 2 Pin
- Wildfire Pin
- Easy Peasy Pin
- Aces High Pin
- Hydra Pin
- Howl Pin
- Brigadier General Pin
- Unfortunately, no images have been included for these in the files or in the item schema, so we don't know what they look like until Valve releases them somewhere, but I'm sure your imagination will give you a good idea of what will be the real thing in the meantime. Sorry!

#12 TF2 update for 11/8/17 (11/9/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion
Stochast1cCornpop16wickedplayer494- Scream Fortress IX continues for a little while longer, but get a move on! Expiry dates have been added to the contracts in the ConTracker.
Anyone know what these dates are? I've been stuffed with midterms the past 3 weeks so haven't been able to do too many. Last midterm's tomorrow tho so hopfully still time for me to grind them out.contractsExpires 2017-11-09 00:00:00
No idea what timezone they are referring to, probably PT, so they really didn't extend it that much.

Just found out it's based on system time. You can set it back a day and the game won't even question it even if you do it while it's running.

#1 CS:GO update for 11/8/17 (11/9/17 UTC, 1.36.1.3) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ Dust II ]
– Increased overall luminance 20% for all Kasbah materials and models for visibility.
– Fixed missing textures on some polygons of tarp model.
– Fixed flashbangs not blinding player through chain-link fences.
– Fixed edging around Kasbah alcove window which had shadowing artifacts.
– Adjusted penetration value for wood doors.
– Fixed wallbang values on Mechanique Generale.
– Fixed ambient lighting values at CT spawn entrance.
– Smoothed out clipping on block stack at Mid.
– Fixed some models that were embedded in the ground.
– Fixed dev text on loading screen.
– Fixed cover props at B site that would expose player feet.

[ Audio ]
– Streamlined audio settings so players have a consistent experience. Replaced HRTF and occlusion-specific settings with an option to disable 3D audio effects, to allow compatibility for players who have conflicting audio processing occurring on their audio hardware.
– Added a voice_player_volume console command which can be used to adjust voice volume on a per-player basis.

[ GAMEPLAY ]
– removed holiday cheer.

Rumor has it:

- Valve keeps swapping Dust 2's thumbnail in favor of a new one. Are we gonna have to have a vote to decide which to settle on? https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/2b6bdc45b8abd538cba6dd21b5d30117d4c5ad31

- Hurry! This is will probably be your LAST chance to get a Hydra pass at 50% off before it goes off sale! If you're reading this by now (which is about 12 AM CST), Hydra passes are now off sale, and can no longer be bought in game

Via the Steam store:

Valve- Fixed a bug related to The Fortified Compound and lighting arrows

- Bonus duc-I mean, localization files!
