  • Players with high win/loss ratios in recent matches now earn bonus rank points in order to accelerate their progress toward a more appropriate rank
• Added report player context menu on scoreboard
  • Requires mouse input mode on the scoreboard (see Adv. Options)
• Fixed a potential security issue (thanks to Justin G., aka sigsegv, and Linus S., aka PistonMiner, for this report)

• Fixed an issue with The Righteous Bison and Pomson 5000 hit detection where projectiles were being removed when colliding with invisible entities

• Fixed a display issue with combat text damage numbers against Engineer buildings sometimes being incorrect (such as with weapons that do reduced damage against buildings)

• Removed the damage effects and pain sounds when using the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper

• Updated PASS Time view model positions to support using FOV 70

• Updated the animations for the Sharp Dresser to fix a clipping problem

  • Fixed an angled playerclip brush above 2nd control point that players could surf on (thanks Photon)

  • Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point

  • Moved two tall spotlights back into a clipping brush at mid to avoid very small collision issue (thanks Bilbert)

  • Adjusted some clipping issues by turning rooftop brushes into displacements/func_brushes throughout the map and disabling collision (thanks Bilbert)

  • Clipped off some glass windows at 2nd

  • Added crate to cargo containers at mid, allowing scouts to get onto the highest cargo container

  • Added props to the clipping ramp around the final control point to indicate collision
