#10 MAJOR TF2 update for 7/18/24 (Summer 2024 Update) in TF2 General Discussion
JoesMonkeyLandTrying to join a server immediately crashes my game. I'm on Windows 7, I guess it's finally time to update if I want to keep playing.

Crazier things have happened, namely, a Windows XP-specific fix in Dota 2 in October of 2016, and an XP SP3-specific crash fix in the Steam client in February 2018 (before Valve pulled the plug on the Steam client in 2019). Hell, the Windows 7-specific crash fix from the first update of this year might have been even more remarkable since Valve shipped that one AFTER they pulled the plug on the Steam client at the start of the year. Or, at least, they were supposed to have, but against all odds it's still trucking on like it's 2023.

And if you didn't know that early Source 2 ran on Windows XP, now you know!

- Added a Settings Recommendation popup if NVIDIA G-Sync is enabled but not V-Sync and/or NVIDIA Reflex. It is generally recommended to enable all three settings together when they are available. Note that applying these settings will limit your frame rate to your display's refresh rate or slightly lower, which is usually the smoothest-looking and lowest input latency settings combination. See https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/418E-7A04-B0DA-9032 for technical details.

- Added "Maximum FPS In Game" and "Maximum FPS In Menus" sliders to the Frame Pacing section. These control the fps_max and fps_max_ui convars respectively.
- Increased the default "Maximum FPS In Menus" setting from 120 FPS to 200 FPS.
- The Advanced Video visual preview now uses the "In Game" maximum FPS instead of the "In Menus" maximum.

- Size is close to 5 GB (with Workshop Tools installed) - data capped users should take action NOW!

#1 Counter-Strike 2 update for 4/30/24 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the Steam Community:

ValveMISC
- Grenade kills no longer display the "in-air" killfeed icon.

- Fixed too many usercommands being processed when skipping forward in demos. This reduces the skip time by as much as 80%.
- Added console output that may be helpful for advanced users to diagnose performance problems. When a very long frame occurs, a brief profile of the frame is printed. At the end of a match, a summary is printed.

Rumor has it:

- Caution for FACEIT players: after this update, having FACEIT's anti-cheat solution running will cause the game to crash
- The workaround is to exit it, but obviously if you wish to play on FACEIT's servers, you'll need to wait for them to update their anticheat

- Said console command if you wish to take a crack at diagnosing your own performance problems is: cl_frametime_summary_report_detailed

- Size is ~210 MB (with Workshop Tools installed)
