An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:

• Improved Steam Voice support for servers that have enabled it
  • Removed sv_use_steam_voice convar. Steam voice is now selected via "sv_voicecodec steam"

  • Fixed demos not properly recording Steam Voice status, resulting in potential corrupt voice in demos with differing default settings

  • Will now use the native Steam Voice sampling rate, instead of clamping to 11kHz

  • Improved compatibility with Steam client beta
• Fixed OS X voice communication sounding high-pitched when using the default CELT voice codec

• Fixed an animation bug that would cause the client and server hitboxes to become out of sync

  • Casual servers were often rotating to unrelated game modes during votes, resulting in partially filled servers in certain regions

• Updated the model/materials for The Snowmann to fix some LOD issues

• Updated the localization files
