#1 TF2 update for 4/12/17 in TF2 General Discussion

Via the Steam store:

Valve- Internal updates to support future development
- These changes originally shipped to game servers only on March 14th
- Fixed regression from the toolchain beta causing the r_drawclipbrushes command to hang the game
- Fixed regression from the toolchain beta causing OS X players to be unable to join certain servers

Rumor has it:

- Excluding attempt #1 at this update (which was on 3/14/17 but then rolled back on clients due to Mac issues mentioned above), this is TF2's first update in 57 days

- Do you want to be bored? Knock yourself out, this GameTracking diff is the epitome of boring

- Size is ~40 MB

#1 TF2 item schema update for 3/30/17 in TF2 General Discussion

Via the Steam store:

Valve- Added UGC Highlander Season 19/Season 20, UGC 6vs6 Season 21/Season 22, and UGC 4vs4 Season 8/Season 9 tournament medals
- Added Gamers Assembly 2017 tournament medals

Rumor has it:

- Although the Steam store post claims "The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2.", it's just an item schema update (which can be seen here), so there won't be anything to download

BaseLAN is better, but it's a shame they're not hosting TF tournaments these days.

#1 CS:GO update for 3/29/17 (3/30/17 UTC, 1.35.7.3) in CSGO General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ MISC ]
– When inspecting in game items from user’s own inventory, from other users’ inventories, and from Community Market, players can now see an official Item Certificate that includes Finish Style, Finish Catalog Number, Pattern Template, and Wear Rating.
– Adjusted the nearby lobbies search algorithm, in addition to geographic proximity by distance, to include more results from the same country as the searching user, providing more relevant results for players living near borders.
[ MAPS ]
Canals
– fixed gap in bomb site B wall
– fixed missing texture in bridge visible from arch
– fixed overlapping geometry at A site
– fixed a few places near T spawn where bomb could get stuck
– increased fade distances on some props that were distracting
– adjusted wall geometry in prison stairs to fix lighting glitch
– increased lightmap grid resolution in prison lobby
– added a piece of cardboard under new toolbox at B to block glitchy sightline
– removed one of the picnic tables at Short
– fixed pixelwalk in shoe shop
– fixed errant clip brush on balcony
– made it more difficult to climb the wood sign to B from boost
– trimmed top corners of courtyard building facing the stairs

Militia
– Moved up CT spawns and hostage rescue zone

– Added some cover near tunnel exit in yard
– Moved terrorist spawn area to balcony at back of house
– Added cover in long-range areas
– Fixed several boosts/exploits

Rumor has it:

- Here's an example of an item certificate: http://i.imgur.com/xTQ6sWD.png
- You can view them by inspecting items, and then hovering over the icon in the lower right corner
- This is a solution meant to replace API functions that you may remember being discontinued last week due to excessive load that couldn't be solved anytime soon

- Despite the larger than usual size, GameTracking is surprisingly light: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/27dc8fdcdf66587665eab8cfef53f07b3d298eea

- Most of the large size is from more shader updates (in \platform\shaders\fxc\), lightmappedgeneric_ps30.vcs on its own accounts for most of the size, clocking in at ~240 MB

- Size is ~310 MB

- Despite the Operation 8 map pool being leaked alongside new icons, the Scaleform files that contain them have not been modified to remove them

- Size is close to 700 MB - data capped users should be prepared to take action

#9 OPTIONAL TF2 update for 3/14/17 in TF2 General Discussion

John mentioned that although on paper it could result in slightly improved performance, don't expect anything drastic in the range of a miracle.

#1 OPTIONAL TF2 update for 3/14/17 in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Internal updates to support future development

Rumor has it:

- John Schoenick shared this notice along with the above:

John Schoenick via HLDSThis update will be making the toolchain beta branch live. This update is known to break numerous server mods, many of which have updates available. In order to reduce the pain with this transition, the update is optional for servers. However, the next mandatory TF update will necessarily end support for the pre-toolchain-update builds, so server administrators should seek to update as soon as possible.

See the "Updated system requirements for TF2 dedicated servers" thread for more information on the toolchain update.

- John

- In case you care about low-level stuff, here it is, but for most people, it'll be boring and of no use. Also included is a sync of recent Steam Datagram system configuration changes that properly implement the Sydney data center IP range changes

#1 CS:GO update for 2/16/17 (2/17/17 UTC, 1.35.6.8) in CSGO General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ MISC ]
– Fixed helmet and armor icons of teammates not showing for dead players.
– Fixed several client and game server crashes.
– Fixed several missing achievement icons.

Rumor has it:

- Said missing achievement icons are for the ones for winning 5 times on Arms Race/Demolition maps, and the achievement for playing on all of them: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/882289e3f497a93ff2b64f2542c5d99bf9f7c839
- Included is a local sync of a Steam Datagram system configuration change from earlier today that changes IP ranges for the Sydney, Australia data center, routing issues might be a result of this
- Here's low-level stuff which would be part of the various crash fixes

- Did you know that tomorrow, the 17th (18th UTC), marks one full year since the release of Operation Wildfire?

- In the event that you need it, a previous version branch was put up a couple of hours ago as "1.35.6.7"
- To use it, right-click on CS:GO in your Steam client, click properties, click the betas tab, then select the branch and Steam will acquire it. If you don't see it offered, you may have to restart Steam
- If you're a server operator or a league/tournament admin that wishes to play on the previous version, use "+app_update 740 -beta 1.35.6.7" in SteamCMD

- Size is ~5 MB

Valve[ SERVERS ]
– Reduced per-client memory use by sharing network buffers.

– Added more functionality for community log address integration.
– Log address can now be sent an 18-character prefix before every log packet text

- A few HUD file updates and a local sync of Steam Datagram system configuration changes from the past month: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/537a93b69227c91d3a58d852fe6be48032faed6f
