#1 TF2 update for 10/25/17 in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Fixed the firing speed for the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol (now faster)
- Fixed a client/server crash related to contracts
- Fixed a server crash related to taunting
- Updated The Dragon's Fury such that extinguishing a teammate will return 20 health to the Pyro, matching other flamethrowers
- Abandon/disconnect dialogs now show controller hint icons when Steam Controller is active
- Removed trade restrictions from the Prinny items

Rumor has it:

- HUD file updates for those dialogs, and local syncs of Steam Datagram system configuration changes and the item schema: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/4f7b3c9b10232e4a6c42fb96b3b77361f4b296eb

#1 CS:GO update for 10/24/17 (10/25/17 UTC, 1.36.1.0) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ SOUND ]
– Added a new audio occlusion model for CS:GO ( disabled by default ). This new occlusion model much more realistically simulates the occlusion of sounds that have to travel through and around materials to reach the player. Instead of simply adjusting the volume of sounds that are occluded, this new model distorts the sounds according to the properties of the materials that the sound has to travel through. Eventually we intend to turn this feature on for all users, but at the moment it can be controlled by the convar ‘snd_occlusion’. Use ‘snd_occlusion 1’ to turn this new feature on. Feedback on it is welcome.
– Fixed a bug where some sounds would play multiple times when observing.
[ DUST II ]
– Performance optimizations on low-end and medium-end computers.
– Removed windows and awning on Catwalk for visibility.
– Moved door awning on Short A for player movement.
– Fixed slit in boxes in Lower Tunnels.
– Removed small port hole windows from towers at Short A for visibility.
– Removed grain sack from Bombsite A.
– Removed awnings from Salon on Long.
– Grenade Clipped stone trim pieces.
– Fixed room at CT Spawn eating weapons.
– Moved windows and conduits from wall looking from CT Ramp to Short A.
– Fixed a number of small holes in the world.
– Fixed fade distance on barrel at Mid.
– Upped light value on a number of windows for visibility.
– Lowered noise and contrast on some texture sets for visibility.
– Fixed non-precise clipping on dumpsters at Outside Tunnels.
– Set ‘surfaceproperty’ on Cars to ‘metalvehicle’.
– Addressed visibility on Pit.
– Removed rollup door on Salon for visibility.
– Fixed some noisy walls in Tunnels for visibility.
– Addressed some visibility issues in Back B Plat.
– Upped contrast for some cover props at Bombsite B.
– Fixed clip that players could get stuck on in Pit Plat.
– Updated radar to reflect building at Car.
– Fixed errant displacement at Side Pit.
– Added a few rooftop faces that can be seen while boosting.
[ MISC ]
– Server log dispatch over HTTP includes a new header “X-Server-Instance-Token” that will be unique number derived from that server’s command line, account token and local IP.

Rumor has it:

- PSA: GameTracking appears to be running into issues with both this update and an earlier TF2 update (but the good news is that it worked just fine with an earlier Dota 2 update, so go see what changed in that one for yourself!). A fix will probably occur later overnight. Sorry about the inconvenience.

- Fixed The Loose Cannon not being able to Double Donk

- Fixed The Fishcake not honoring the viewmodel minmode setting
- Fixed The Festive Black Box not working for Black Box Contracts
- Fixed the charge meter for The Sandvich not resetting to 100% when the player picks up a health kit

Rumor has it:

- PSA: GameTracking appears to be running into issues with both this update and a later CS:GO update (but the good news is that it worked just fine with an earlier Dota 2 update, so go see what changed in that one for yourself!). A fix will probably occur later overnight. Sorry about the inconvenience.

#5 TF2 update for 10/23/17 (10/24/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion
Valve- Fixed an exploit related to the Heavy's health and the G.R.U.

Valve really should throw the Steam Subscriber Agreement at Delfy and others. Even Uncle Dane confirmed last night that the only thing he's in it for is money (bonus points if Kevin O'Leary's voice popped into your head as you read "money"). I think nobody would mind if this section was thrown right in their face:

the Steam Subscriber AgreementValve may terminate your Account or a particular Subscription for any conduct or activity that is illegal, constitutes a Cheat, or otherwise negatively affects the enjoyment of Steam by other Subscribers.

Enough already. Sure, Blizzard and Riot may be at times just a touch overzealous (particularly in the case of Blizzard), but at least they actually take action against people knowingly maliciously exploiting. Even a temporary casual suspension if they got reported for griefing is better than the nothing that we're accustomed to.

#1 TF2 update for 10/23/17 (10/24/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS and the Steam store:

Valve- Fixed a client crash related to the Dragon's Fury
- Fixed showing only a few weapons instead of the full set when redeeming a War Paint
- Fixed an exploit related to the Heavy's health and the G.R.U.
- Fixed contract objectives related to the Direct Hit not registering
- Fixed contract objectives related to sentries not registering
- Fixed War Paints and weapons that came out of campaign cases not displaying the correct rarity
- Fixed being unable to turn-in one of the bonus objectives for the Medic contract
- Fixed players being able to use the Thermal Thruster during the freeze period at the beginning of the round

- Updated koth_lazarus
- Fixed an issue with map-specific sprites not loading

- Updated pl_enclosure_final
- Fixed various errors related to textures

- Updated cp_mercenarypark
- Fixed enemy players being able to enter opposing spawn rooms
- Fixed areas near cap A and cap B where Engineers could build in inaccessible areas
- Fixed spawn room doors sometimes becoming blocked

- Updated Steam Controller support
- Game controllers which are attached but left idle no longer cause the game to assume that Steam Controller input is desired.
- Reverted configuration change which caused some non-Steam Controller devices to default to using Steam Controller configuration. Users can re-enable this via the Steam Big Picture UI if desired.(Conversely, players who prefer the legacy gamepad mode, should ensure this setting is not enabled.)

Rumor has it:

- Did you know? You can report users for knowingly abusing exploits by heading to the main menu, clicking the ! icon, selecting the user, and then selecting Griefing as the reason

- A few string typo fixes too: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/9ad40f8c68d94758e25091b3bbcb38f746f6658f

#7 Is the new UI from source 2? in TF2 General Discussion

Nope, it's not Panorama, but its implementation most definitely is inspired from Dota 2 in a way.

#31 MAJOR TF2 update for 10/20/17 (Jungle Inferno) in TF2 General Discussion

TF2 update #3 for late 10/20/17 (10/21/17):

Via the Steam store:

ValveFixed a client stutter related to the Friends panel in the main menu

Rumor has it:

- Offline friends are no longer shown in the in-game friends list, which now matches in-game friends lists found in CS:GO and Dota 2

- Continue to expect widespread extreme GC instability and queue gridlock for a long while...likely continuing overnight through to tomorrow

- Do you happen to be fluent (or near-fluent) in another non-English language? If so, consider signing up for the Steam Translation Server to help translate the ~600 strings added earlier today

#5 MAJOR TF2 update for 10/20/17 (Jungle Inferno) in TF2 General Discussion
lettothe most broken the game has ever been after an update

I'm surprised the GC is even breathing at this point, it sure wasn't during Meet Your Match.

- Got even more bugs, or general thoughts on the new Dust 2? Send them in by heading to http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php and selecting the "CS:GO Team" entry. The more detail you provide, the better chances there are that your bug will be looked at and fixed!

- If you're intending on reporting other issues in this thread that don't involve the new Dust 2 (don't be afraid, you never know if you're not the only one!), and you happen to be on Windows 10, please make mention of whether or not you're on Redstone 3/the "Fall Creators Update" as not all issues may be caused by this update itself (or the previous one), but by Redstone 3
- Unsure of whether or not you're on Redstone 3? Search for "winver", and if "OS Version" is 1709, you're on Redstone 3. Otherwise, if it says 1703, you're still on Redstone 2
- I'll leave this notice out by mid-November as most Redstone 3-related issues should have been ironed out by then, either by Microsoft or by you

#1 MAJOR TF2 update for 10/20/17 (Jungle Inferno) in TF2 General Discussion

Notes are going to be much too long to post in their entirety here, please head to https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/77pkc8/major_tf2_update_for_102017_jungle_inferno_update/ or https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/2217263/ for them.

Rumor has it:

- Please give a round of applause to both /u/xPaw and /u/medli20 (and /u/Bobsplosion) for their OCR magic!

- This MAJOR update finally brings an end to the record longest drought that has lasted since 12/21/16 (Smissmas 2016), with the last non-seasonal update having occurred on 7/7/16

- For reference, here's a comparison of some long waits:

- The wait for Jungle Update was exactly 9 months and 29 days since Smissmas 2016, or 1 year, 3 months and 13 days since Meet Your Match

- The wait for a reworked de_dust2 in CS:GO took 1 year and 5 days

- The wait for AMD Vega took exactly 1 year, 4 months, 16 days, 3 hours and 15 minutes, and then some for retail availability

- The wait for what would eventually be Windows Vista took 5 years, 3 months and 5 days (or 2 years, 5 months and 3 days due to XP SP2 and the Longhorn reset)

- Here's the mammoth GameTracking diff, containing HUD file updates, strings, and a whole lot more: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/fc9f52ae9c359fb3735ef703bd3c03a9d63fedb3

TF2 TeamAs in: really reallllllly close. (Promise.)

Typically we ship updates on a Thursday, so those of you expecting the Jungle Inferno Update to flip live today, you might want to sit down for this next part. If you're already in a comfortable sitting position, you might want to sit up straighter, because we're about to tell you we're delaying a day and we don't want you to twist your lumbar.

We're delaying a day. The update's almost finished, but it's a pretty big one, and we wanted another day to get everything ready and stress test it a little more. Our current plan is to release the update early tomorrow. Here's a big list of the changes, additions and fixes we'll be shipping tomorrow in the meantime.

#1 MAJOR CS:GO update for 10/18/17 (New Dust 2) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[GAMEPLAY]
– Replaced de_dust2 with updated version.
– Improved de_nuke bot navigation.

[AUDIO]
– Unique jump landing sounds for all major surfaces.
– Unique sounds for picking up weapons and grenades.
– Unique bullet impact sounds for vehicles and barrels.
– Re-balanced music kits volume to be more in-line with the overall game volume.
– Improved resolution and quality of HRTF algorithm.

[MISC]
– Both Perfect World Sticker Capsule Limited Time Offers and Graffiti Capsule Limited Time Offers are now available worldwide.
– Added normal maps for “Gut Knife | Autotronic”, “Bayonet | Autotronic”, and “M9 Bayonet | Autotronic”.
– Fixed case where players could be blinded by a flashbang outside the map and out of line of sight.

Rumor has it:

- An earlier prerelease version of Dust 2 went to a washed out sky like the pre-rework Dust 2. Jess Cliffe has confirmed that it's back to being vibrant again

- Icon and image changes for Dust 2, numerous script updates, and an item schema update: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/97016a0822a42d9dc89b5fd7add47ccad5e7d47b
