Rumor has it:

- Part 2 is in the NEXT post due to character limits, click here to go to it or scroll down

- A quick reminder: the low-performance shitbug ousting has begun, as the DirectX 9 requirement has been carried over from the beta. It's time to join the high-performance compute revolution.

#1 TF2 Blog: "The Meet Your Match Update is Coming" in TF2 General Discussion

http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=22674

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!

#1 CS:GO update for 6/24/16 (6/25/16 UTC, 1.35.3.9) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[COLOGNE 2016]
– Added team stickers, player autographs, Pick’Em and Fantasy Games for Cologne 2016 CS:GO Major Championship.
— http://www.counter-strike.net/pickem/cologne2016
– Added support for Cologne 2016 game authentication codes to allow third-party websites and applications to manage your Cologne 2016 Pick’Em and Fantasy Games without running the actual game client.
— For more information on game authentication codes, visit: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_PickEm_Fantasy_Management
[GOTV]
– Community GOTV relays will now reliably sign in to Steam and CS:GO backend when launched straight with +tv_advertise_watchable 1 +tv_relay addr: port.
– GOTV relays will now correctly communicate their statistics about connected proxies and clients upstream and downstream.
– Added convars commonly used in GOTV relay chains to common dictionary encoding.
[SOUND]
– Added sounds for players joining and leaving party lobbies.
– Upgraded sound fidelity for Nova, Sawed Off, and XM1014 shotguns.
– Molotov:
— Fixed a bug where an in-hand fire sound would persist when a player was killed while holding a primed Molotov.
— Upgraded sound fidelity for Molotov priming sound.
— Reduced volume of in-hand fire sound for a primed Molotov
[UI]
– Added convar cl_spec_swapplayersides to flip display of competitive HUD to match teams seating on stage.
– Spectator UI – Player panel now tints yellow or blue based on the team of the person you are spectating.
[SDK]
– Fixed broken flex data in studiomdl

Rumor has it:

- In the event that you're worried about the British pound being fscked due to the Brexit referendum, the latest currency conversion update that Valve did was yesterday but it didn't touch the GBP (or the Euro, for that matter). Rate volatility induced today shouldn't be an issue but you may want to act fast with your purchases regardless

- Item schema update, containing full-res images for the stickers: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/34c0311449064567af911c706dd1009b9d296e7a

- Also included are the trophy images (which is the same as with Columbus), souvenir case images, and Pick'Em Challenge trophy images
- However, no new collectible pins

- Lots of low level changes, some script changes, add .diff at the end to see the VPK and csgo_english diffs: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/09c346f0a3f4a6fe41b2b0a32c90272402781778

#24 Valve Visit in TF2 General Discussion

Here's a leak: a pipe happened to leak in the building.

posted about 9 years ago
#1 CS:GO update for 6/16/16 (6/17/16 UTC, 1.35.3.8) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[SOUND]
– Lowered volume level of first-person nearly empty clip sound to match its volume level falloff in the environment.
– Fixed a regression in Nova and Sawed Off reloading sounds.
[Mac]
– Added video option (default on) for frame rate smoothing. Frame rate smoothing significantly reduces hitching and stuttering, but at the expense of reducing overall frame rate.
– Significantly reduced input latency.
– Added audio option “Play Audio When Game in Background” to match behavior on Windows and Linux.

Rumor has it:

- The volume level of the controversial "nearly empty" sound is now a fixed 30% instead of a range of 50%-100%: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/c3c107eb43157806dd8d916f637d0e2ef09a82c1

- Still have lingering Mac OS X/macOS and/or Linux issues? Report them on the official issue tracker - make sure you search first

#1 CS:GO update for 6/15/16 (6/16/16 UTC, 1.35.3.7) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[CS:GO]

– Operation Wildfire Access Pass is no longer available for purchase.
[XP]

– New smoke sound to reduce interference with bomb defuse sound.
– New sound for text chat messages in party lobby.
[MISC]
– In classic game modes any money earned by a player mid-round will no longer be available for spending during the same round (i.e., SMG purchases are no longer possible during competitive pistol rounds).
– Suicide or disconnect compensation will no longer be awarded in warmup or during freezetime period.
– When controlling the bot and surviving round running out of time, the controlling player is now eligible to receive end of round money.
– Removed a legacy 2.5 seconds spawn grace period for players who reconnect to the round after freezetime is over.
– Increased upper limit on possible mp_halftime_duration values to 5 minutes.

– Classic Casual now defaults to team-restrict communication for living players.

#1 CS:GO update for 6/9/16 (6/10/16 UTC, 1.35.3.6) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[MISC]
– Replaced the penalty for the suicide or disconnection of a player. Instead of the elimination of round-end income, a living enemy player now receives compensation equal to the missed kill reward opportunity.
– On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match.
– Modified behavior of mp_endmatch_votenextmap_keepcurrent (default 1). When set to 0, the current map will be excluded from the end of match map vote panel.
– Full player hitboxes are now used by “cl_weapon_debug_show_accuracy 2” so that the circle appears closer to the target in 3D space.
– Fixed coin journal not being accessible from inventory UI.
[OSX/Linux]
– Made it so “Fullscreen” sets an exclusive fullscreen mode and “Windowed Fullscreen” sets a non-exclusive fullscreen mode. Exclusive fullscreen mode allows for potentially higher performance while making switching back to the desktop slower.
[SPECTATING]
– Added the concommand spec_player_by_accountid that switches observer target to the player with SteamID64 passed as argument.
– Added the convar spec_lock_to_accountid which, when set, will lock the observer target to the specified SteamID64 player. The lock can be set regardless of whether or not the player is currently connected.

Cache:
-Minor bug fixes
Nuke:
-Added ladder to bombsite B target
-Top of bombsite B target now opaque
-Added short crate stack to CT outside
– Misc clip fixesAdded at the request of /u/j_cliffe, these two are missing in the source- Improved vcollide on plastic bins
- Fixed spot at CT spawn where weapons could be lostCollision model update:
-Added more accurate collision model for bombsite models used in Mirage, Inferno, Cache.
-Added more accurate collision model for barrels used in Overpass B site.

Rumor has it:

- PM confirming the two missing notes are in fact legitimate: http://i.imgur.com/wCrVBTT.png

- Worried about this update screwing things up in the ESL One Cologne 2016 qualifiers? A previous version branch was made available yesterday named "1.35.3.5" for anyone that wants to revert for whatever reason
- In fact, there's already confirmation that the old versions of maps will be used

- Nuke got a new image for use in places such as the load screen, UI elements such as map picking, and in areas such as the Steam Workshop for future compatibility versions: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/9525d61a3b02d9c3458b69b1e383a17e07bb1ddc

- Lots of low-level things that probably won't make much sense to anyone: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/aaf70549d59dc8dcdb4a7473239dd75a394f4efd

#1 CS:GO update for 6/1/16 (6/2/16 UTC) in CS2 General Discussion

Via csgo_servers:

Valve[POSIX]
+ Fixed CS:GO capturing mouse when in the background.
+ Fixed CS:GO window randomly coming to the foreground.
+ Game correctly displays window icon on dock.
+ Fixed cmd-tab on OS X not working when in exclusive fullscreen mode.
+ Fixed the scoreboard menu options to view player profiles and report/commend players.

[UI]

+ Fixed StatTrak(tm) erroneously showing up when opening pin cases and souvenir packages.
+ Fixed some dropped weapon names displaying incorrectly under crosshair.
+ Fixed several UI crashes.

Rumor has it:

- "POSIX" is pretty much "Mac OS X & Linux" in the context of this update, of which both OSes are compliant with the POSIX family of standards, in case you were wondering

- A single string addition: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/60a1ecbce290b1fb9e03f139f6ce56635a63b626

- Some localization files, and a bunch of DLL changes (the DLLs of which we can't completely peek into unless you were to break the Steam Subscriber Agreement)

- "game-icon.bmp" was also slid in, which is pretty much the current icon but without the orange in the background (and is also double the size at 128x128)

- Size is ~20 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 5/31/16 (6/1/16 UTC, 1.35.3.5) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[PINS]

[GAMEPLAY]
– Default spec_freeze_time reduced from 5.0 to 3.0.
– Added fade and blur to deathcam (when mp_forcecamera 1).
– Fade and blur in deathcam are more aggressive when killed with a headshot (when mp_forcecamera 1).
[SPECTATING]
– Improved spectating cameras for de_cache.
– Improved spectating cameras for de_nuke.
– Added convars cl_spec_use_tournament_content_standards and sv_spec_use_tournament_content_standards that allow the client and/or server to prefer official pro player names when available and omit weapon tags for spectators.
[MISC]
– The ‘swap item’ crosshair hint will display the weapon’s original name even if the weapon has been renamed with a name tag.
[WebAPIs]
– Introducing Authentication Codes that allow users to grant to third-party websites and applications access to their Pick’Em and Fantasy games during CS:GO Major Championships.
— Documentation for websites and application developers is available: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_PickEm_Fantasy_Management
— Authentication Codes management for users is available: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGameIssue/?appid=730&issueid=128

Rumor has it:

- Here's some strings for the Series 1 pins and dealing with upcoming web-based Pick'Em solutions: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/2b1380ccb41b53d5144094f55f831776e24fc48b

- Loads of low-level changes (if you want to see everything, add .diff to the end of the URL): https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/a425e29dedb402b3591fc723470453305317bc3f

- If for whatever reason you need to revert from this update, a previous version branch named "1.35.3.4" (for the state of the game as of the 5/19/16 update with that same version number) was made available

- Size is ~145 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 5/25/16 (5/26/16 UTC) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[OS X and LINUX]
– OS X and Linux now use 64-bit game clients. This fixes numerous long standing random crashes specific to those platforms.
– Please report bugs specific to OS X and Linux here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux

Rumor has it:

- Not necessarily directly part of this update but worth mentioning, a tournaments API was added as part of the recent GC outage. API names suggest that your (repeated) calls for a web-based Pick'Em page might finally be heard soon, be it one by Valve or through 3rd-party solutions using the Steam Web API

- Size may appear as 0 bytes for numerous Windows users (except ~15 MB on Mac OS X)

#1 CS:GO update for 5/19/16 (5/20/16 UTC, 1.35.3.4) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[MISC]
– Blood decals on player models will now reliably display for players and spectators in-game.

– Accounts that get a global cooldown for GSLT violation will no longer make their party members from previous competitive matches lose match wins earned together.
[MAPS]
Cache
— Forklift
— with
— roof

Rumor has it:

- Have you gotten the dreaded disconnection because of VAC errors message in the past? It's slightly different, and now lists three bullet points as possible causes:
- "An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system."
- "You are unable to maintain a stable connection to the VAC system."
- "You are running software that is modifying the game or is incompatible with VAC."

- If you've opted in to the Prime beta (and are still patiently waiting), and you might be looking to get a new phone number with Project Fi, there's now a string that states how long you have until you can change it:
- "Your CS:GO account was recently upgraded to Prime status with a different phone number. <x> until you can upgrade your account to Prime status with your new Steam phone number."

- Other than the above string updates, some low-level things including a change to how Steam Community Market searches are handled from an in-game button press: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/4c50cc50a58efc9ba3de6afceea551d23cb200e8

Don't you dare bring that /s reddit stuff here! Speaking of reddit though, why does the Dota 2 reddit hate you? If I recall I heard something about that.

Slapfights happened. They love proprietary bullshit (and they seem to take a blind eye to people not getting credit for pointing things out or contributing something such as an alternate size), even though SteamDB's GameTracking literally gets the job done (all of it) in as soon as 60 seconds. It's a shame, because they're just chaining themselves and setting themselves up to have a concept known as a bus factor of 1 hitting them. In fact, it's already happened several times already, where people don't know what the fuck to do or where to look when "the competition" is unavailable for whatever reason.

Thousands of eyes on new things (AKA SteamTracking and GameTracking links) instead of unnecessarily relying on just two eyes ("the competition") is far, far better, not only in terms of ensuring that a bus factor is as close to infinity as possible, but also when it comes to larger stuff surfacing first.
