#1 CS:GO update for 10/31/17 (11/1/17 UTC, 1.36.1.2) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ GAMEPLAY ]
– Added holiday cheer.

[ AUDIO ]
– Enabled new audio occlusion system for all players.
– Set Audio output to “Stereo headphones (HRTF)” for all players next time they start CS:GO.

[ MISC ]
– Added a game server command sv_load_forced_client_names_file. Running tournament servers with +sv_load_forced_client_names_file namesfile.txt allows loading a key-values file where client
names are enforced to be the tournament registered player names.

Example file:
“Names”
{
“765611979849XXXX” “Official Player Name”
“765611979800YYYY” “Other Player Name”
… etc.
}

Rumor has it:

- Boo! Trick or treat!

- Users are reporting that snd_occlusion is now protected by sv_cheats, so there is now no way to disable it online now that it's enabled for all

- Additionally, translations from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Not necessarily part of this update, but FYI: several currency conversion rates have been updated as part of a Dueling Fates-related Dota 2 item schema update - see here for full details (for a lot of people, some stuff will be a bit cheaper, but not all stuff will see cuts to their prices in all currencies)

#1 CS:GO update for 10/24/17 (10/25/17 UTC, 1.36.1.0) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ SOUND ]
– Added a new audio occlusion model for CS:GO ( disabled by default ). This new occlusion model much more realistically simulates the occlusion of sounds that have to travel through and around materials to reach the player. Instead of simply adjusting the volume of sounds that are occluded, this new model distorts the sounds according to the properties of the materials that the sound has to travel through. Eventually we intend to turn this feature on for all users, but at the moment it can be controlled by the convar ‘snd_occlusion’. Use ‘snd_occlusion 1’ to turn this new feature on. Feedback on it is welcome.
– Fixed a bug where some sounds would play multiple times when observing.
[ DUST II ]
– Performance optimizations on low-end and medium-end computers.
– Removed windows and awning on Catwalk for visibility.
– Moved door awning on Short A for player movement.
– Fixed slit in boxes in Lower Tunnels.
– Removed small port hole windows from towers at Short A for visibility.
– Removed grain sack from Bombsite A.
– Removed awnings from Salon on Long.
– Grenade Clipped stone trim pieces.
– Fixed room at CT Spawn eating weapons.
– Moved windows and conduits from wall looking from CT Ramp to Short A.
– Fixed a number of small holes in the world.
– Fixed fade distance on barrel at Mid.
– Upped light value on a number of windows for visibility.
– Lowered noise and contrast on some texture sets for visibility.
– Fixed non-precise clipping on dumpsters at Outside Tunnels.
– Set ‘surfaceproperty’ on Cars to ‘metalvehicle’.
– Addressed visibility on Pit.
– Removed rollup door on Salon for visibility.
– Fixed some noisy walls in Tunnels for visibility.
– Addressed some visibility issues in Back B Plat.
– Upped contrast for some cover props at Bombsite B.
– Fixed clip that players could get stuck on in Pit Plat.
– Updated radar to reflect building at Car.
– Fixed errant displacement at Side Pit.
– Added a few rooftop faces that can be seen while boosting.
[ MISC ]
– Server log dispatch over HTTP includes a new header “X-Server-Instance-Token” that will be unique number derived from that server’s command line, account token and local IP.

Rumor has it:

- PSA: GameTracking appears to be running into issues with both this update and an earlier TF2 update (but the good news is that it worked just fine with an earlier Dota 2 update, so go see what changed in that one for yourself!). A fix will probably occur later overnight. Sorry about the inconvenience.

#5 TF2 update for 10/23/17 (10/24/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Valve- Fixed an exploit related to the Heavy's health and the G.R.U.

Valve really should throw the Steam Subscriber Agreement at Delfy and others. Even Uncle Dane confirmed last night that the only thing he's in it for is money (bonus points if Kevin O'Leary's voice popped into your head as you read "money"). I think nobody would mind if this section was thrown right in their face:

the Steam Subscriber AgreementValve may terminate your Account or a particular Subscription for any conduct or activity that is illegal, constitutes a Cheat, or otherwise negatively affects the enjoyment of Steam by other Subscribers.

Enough already. Sure, Blizzard and Riot may be at times just a touch overzealous (particularly in the case of Blizzard), but at least they actually take action against people knowingly maliciously exploiting. Even a temporary casual suspension if they got reported for griefing is better than the nothing that we're accustomed to.

#1 TF2 update for 10/23/17 (10/24/17 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS and the Steam store:

Valve- Fixed a client crash related to the Dragon's Fury
- Fixed showing only a few weapons instead of the full set when redeeming a War Paint
- Fixed an exploit related to the Heavy's health and the G.R.U.
- Fixed contract objectives related to the Direct Hit not registering
- Fixed contract objectives related to sentries not registering
- Fixed War Paints and weapons that came out of campaign cases not displaying the correct rarity
- Fixed being unable to turn-in one of the bonus objectives for the Medic contract
- Fixed players being able to use the Thermal Thruster during the freeze period at the beginning of the round

- Updated koth_lazarus
- Fixed an issue with map-specific sprites not loading

- Updated pl_enclosure_final
- Fixed various errors related to textures

- Updated cp_mercenarypark
- Fixed enemy players being able to enter opposing spawn rooms
- Fixed areas near cap A and cap B where Engineers could build in inaccessible areas
- Fixed spawn room doors sometimes becoming blocked

- Updated Steam Controller support
- Game controllers which are attached but left idle no longer cause the game to assume that Steam Controller input is desired.
- Reverted configuration change which caused some non-Steam Controller devices to default to using Steam Controller configuration. Users can re-enable this via the Steam Big Picture UI if desired.(Conversely, players who prefer the legacy gamepad mode, should ensure this setting is not enabled.)

Rumor has it:

- Did you know? You can report users for knowingly abusing exploits by heading to the main menu, clicking the ! icon, selecting the user, and then selecting Griefing as the reason

- A few string typo fixes too: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/9ad40f8c68d94758e25091b3bbcb38f746f6658f

#7 Is the new UI from source 2? in TF2 General Discussion

Nope, it's not Panorama, but its implementation most definitely is inspired from Dota 2 in a way.

TF2 update #3 for late 10/20/17 (10/21/17):

Via the Steam store:

ValveFixed a client stutter related to the Friends panel in the main menu

Rumor has it:

- Continue to expect widespread extreme GC instability and queue gridlock for a long while...likely continuing overnight through to tomorrow

- Do you happen to be fluent (or near-fluent) in another non-English language? If so, consider signing up for the Steam Translation Server to help translate the ~600 strings added earlier today
