#15 TF2 update for 11/20/14 (11/21/14 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

KevinIsPwnreddit told me this would be eotl. these are stairs.

reddit please

If there's no "MAJOR" wording in either the EWFU or the post itself, chances are very good that it isn't EOTL.

#1 TF2 update for 11/20/14 (11/21/14 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Additional improvements for client stability
- Added a check to prevent building in trigger_hurt areas
- Fixed seeing bumper cart icons for deaths while in hell on maps other than doomsday_event
- Fixed not hearing localized audio while connected to a server using sv_pure
- Updated pl_upward
- Added stairs to forward Blue spawn underground
- Updated the trigger hurt in the outer cliff area to cover the bottom of the map

Rumor has it:

- mrmizx of reddit has a before/after of the BLU spawn: http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/2mxibt/tf2_update_for_112014_112114_utc/cm8iajl

- An unintended side effect of the new trigger hurt area in Upward is that it will also affect you even if noclip is on, so if you're hunting for the stairs or (ab)using admin powers and you're dying, this is why

- The Tomb Raider workshop tag has been removed from the language file: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/1d0b25553554b9ff5f251d10029964ece365d9c0

Valve- Fixed a dedicated server crash caused by clients disconnecting while touching a trigger_hurt entity
- Fixed an exploit that involved players killing teammates with the meteor spell by switching to Spectator
- Fixed a bug that allowed weapons to be equipped in invalid loadout slots

Note missed from the previous update:
- Fixed a rendering problem for Linux clients using AMD drivers

Rumor has it:

- HOLY SHIT IT'S EOTL: there's a new community crate added to the item schema. Have an xPaw link (which also has its image): http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/2m81k4/tf2_update_for_111314/cm1skpq

- Marlamin provides a close-up of the insides (potatoes? BONUS ducks?): http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1436952&p=46483047&viewfull=1#post46483047

- Bonus item schema link (which is where the EOTL crate image comes from), which also includes a name and description change, as well as some release date modifications: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/e8d597d99a88c6f12ae97d048855ae45ef142c8a

- See or come across an exploit? Say something (directly to Valve)! Instead of abusing exploits for yourself, get them fixed in a responsible manner. Head to http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php and select the TF Team entry. Be sure to provide reproduction steps as well (but don't disclose them in public until after things are fixed).

#110 Player skill rating added to the game in TF2 General Discussion

VaskieSomeone on the Facepunch forums who has leaked multiple updates so far (and has always been right so far) has leaked a couple of things:

I got no confirmation on any of the information, i just read it on Facepunch myself, hopefully it will be true, if not, here is so conspiracy

First, the following was added on yesterdays update:

"competitive_victory"
{
}

"competitive_skillrating_update"
{
"index" "short" // entindex of the player
"rating" "short" // skillrating
"delta" "short" // skillrating adjustment
}

(from resource/modevents.res)

Second, he said that the following is happening:

Competitive mode
New matchmaking and ranking

Verifying - testinglol is an extremely reliable source. I'm dead serious when I say that.

If you have TF2 performance problems on Windows, add "+cpu_frequency_monitoring 2" to the TF2 command line to see if CPU thermal throttling is an issue. If the displayed CPU frequency percentage drops below about 80-85% then you may have a problem with your CPU slowing down due to overheating. If it drops below 50-55% then you may have a serious problem. CPU overheating can be caused by overclocking, insufficient cooling, insufficient airflow, failing or dirty fans, or other causes. The CPU frequency results are displayed with cl_showfps or net_graph. For more detail see https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2715-YIPD-6873

Rumor has it:

- cpu_frequency_monitoring was originally a CS:GO feature, added in the 7/23/14 (7/24/14 UTC) update for it. This is a screenshot of how output will appear, courtesy MaxReiger:
