Geel9wickedplayer494TLDR: still nothing for how the hell they're going to deal with the greatly increased power of GTX 1070s, 1080s, and in the not too distant future, RX 490s.
This post doesn't really make sense man
The top post on "that other place with those weird aliens" is literally all about the fact that Valve needs to step their stuff up when it comes to actually taking advantage of people with high-performance systems.
TLDR: still nothing for how the hell they're going to deal with the greatly increased power of GTX 1070s, 1080s, and in the not too distant future, RX 490s.
Via the CS:GO blog:
Valve[ Operation Wildfire ]
– Operation Wildfire has come to a close.
– The Operation Wildfire case is available for all players.
[ Misc ]
– Added ESL One Cologne 2016 tournament finalists and champions to the Major Trophy.
[ Sound ]
– Increased fidelity for Bizon, Mac10 and UMP45 weapons.
– Unique reload and draw sounds for Bizon, Mac10 and UMP45 weapons.
– New sound for C4 disarm start and disarm finish, more in line with C4 plant sounds.
– New sound for empty magazine impacting with ground.
– Lowered volume of low ammo sound and added unique sound.
– Lowered volume of smoke grenade tail.
[ Maps ]
– Cache
— Added graffiti to commemorate ESL One Cologne 2016.
[ Mac/Linux ]
– Fixed maps that use Squirrel scripting, including the Weapons Course map.
– Fixed a Linux memory leak.
Rumor has it:
- RIP Operation Wildfire - February 17/18, 2016 - July 15, 2016
- Wildfire was apparently supposed to end on the 13th, as indicated by this portion of a string: "The Operation Wildfire event ran from February 17th, 2016 to July 13th, 2016."
- In case you missed it, here's how the Cache graffiti will appear, plus a bonus link for integration into a wallpaper of your choosing
- Unsure as to why that spot was picked specifically? This graffiti commemorates s1mple's double no-scope AWP kills in the match between Team Liquid and Fnatic. Linked is the replay that better expresses the gravity of what had happened, if you want to watch it as it happened but from a subpar angle, head to 33:15
- Have a listen to the new bomb defuse start/finish sounds in a demonstration of a real-world scenario involving the Terrorist team planting a bomb followed by a Counter-Terrorist defusing said bomb:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzWv8Sdru4
- Script changes, most of which involve the new sounds: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/0d17528b55169e7628ba857987e2bb9346a46f10
- Item schema update - pretty much description changes to reflect that Wildfire is now over: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/21517b6eddbca7837c60dff3e35bd912be88448a

BuildBruhwickedplayer494If you want to go the lazy route, grab update #2 which now fixes things for you:
Eric Smith via HLDSWe've released a fix for this. Your client should pick it up automatically.
Do you have another github link similar to the one in OP? I'd love to see what they changed.
GameTracking would not be able to pierce deep enough into really small updates like this one, so all you'll see there is just steam.inf number changes: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/902eaef646e82f4ef41d4478992719ab9c3d243b
Even if you were to go and drill into the DLLs yourself, you'd be in direct violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, which forbids decompiling without written permission. If you were to go ask Valve and use the "prior consent, in writing, of Valve" part, they'd have good reason to say no anyway.

PontI FIXED IT. REMOVE YOUR casualcritera.vdf from your tf folder
mine immediately started working again
Adding, great find! It took quite a while longer than usual for someone to find something.
Got crashes? Pont says the solution is removing the "casualcriteria.vdf" file from the \tf\ folder. Alternatively, grab update #2 that fixes things for you.

TcmanoHopefully this will quell Reddit's rage over this last update? But still thanks for listening Volvo.
STOGENow reddit can shut up again
Relevant video that pretty much sums the situation up in a nutshell over there:

TF TeamIt's no secret that Casual Mode has had a rough launch. We wanted to give you an update on what we're doing to address your concerns.
Short version: We hear you. Later today, we will be shipping a patch to Casual Mode that will remove the penalties for abandoning a game, and allow you to narrow your game mode selections from two modes to a single mode before queuing. Additionally, in the very near future, we will be shipping a more comprehensive Casual Mode patch that will let you select the maps you will be matched into.
We've provided a more detailed breakdown of Casual Mode's issues and how we are addressing your concerns below.
First, and most important, queue times. The queue times you are currently experiencing are a bug, not a feature. It is something we are actively working to correct. Several backend issues appeared post-launch that culminated in long wait times. Removing this issue is our highest priority right now.
Second, abandonment penalties. We had put in a ten-minute cooldown period to encourage players to complete matches. Your feedback has convinced us that it is more important for players to be able to come and go as they please. Today's patch will remove abandonment cooldown penalties from Casual Mode.
Third, user choice. We'd intended to roll out the number of match options available to players incrementally, so as not to overload the matchmaking system with too many variables on Day One. In retrospect, of all the match options to hold back, map selection should not have been one of them. It is the next feature we are adding to Casual Mode, and you will get it very soon.
Fourth, Casual Mode levels. Levels are a cosmetic feature that show how much you've played. They can never be lost, and they do not affect matchmaking. We did a poor job of communicating that Casual Mode Levels are in no way similar to Competitive Mode Ranks (which do affect matchmaking, and can be lost).
Finally, we wanted to note that we value the role the community plays in the development of this game, and do in fact read all the feedback sent to us, as well as through reddit, the forums, streams, and more. We are not always as talkative as we perhaps should be, but we are listening.
MagikarpCan we make this the main thread for the discussion please everyone no more threads.
I agree, Rumor has it is pretty awesome and all that

TF TeamBefore today—literally the moment before you started reading this sentence—the only way you could enjoy matchmaking on your computer was through dating sites. That got us thinking. What if you took the promise of dating site matchmaking, and, instead of getting matched up based on Snapchat's face-reshaping filters and lies about how much you love hiking, it was based on your actual real-face dating performance?
That's when it hit us: Take matchmaking and apply it to video games.
"But what about...?" you say, and we cut you off mid-sentence, gently place our fingers on your lips and whisper: Matchmaking has never existed in video games before.
But now it does! Click to find out how Matchmaking is going to change the way you play TF2 in the upcoming Meet Your Match Update!
