Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source Updates Released

[Dirty]

Updates to Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

 

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2)

• The mat_hdr_level, r_rootlod, and r_waterforceexpensive settings are now saved in the users config file.
  
• Fixed clients being able to connect to servers with spoofed SteamIDs.
  
• Fixed a bug where some video configurations could get reset by restarting the engine.
  
• Fixed materials compiled into a map not being loaded correctly if they're in the root materials folder.
  
• Fixed a case of uneven performance on multicore machines.
  
• Fixed point contents not respecting detail brushes. This fixes a bullet penetration bug in some community maps.
  
• Fixed clients being able to spam servers using the ai_set_move_height_epsilon, mission_show, and sv_querycache_stats commands.
  
• Audio fixes:
  
  • Reduced overlap in the sound timing code.
    
  • Fixed a case where audio could skip.
    
  • Fixed voice communication getting corrupted while playing on a Mac.
    

  sv_pure 2 now protects the game_sounds files in the scripts directory.

Counter-Strike Source

• Fixed prediction errors that were causing greater weapon inaccuracy (bullet spread) on client than server.
  
• Made the bomb the primary target of a +USE command. This fixes a problem with objects placed around the bombsite interrupting defuse attempts.
  
• Fixed the skating behavior that could occur when a bomb planting attempt was aborted. Also fixes the resulting out of sync hit boxes.
  
• Fixed bug in which a player who crouched rapidly and repeatedly was seen as stationery by other players.
  
• Fixed problem in which the sound of a reload that was occurring when a player was killed persisted into spectator mode, making it sound like a reload was taking place near the spectated player.
  
• Gave chat interface priority over scoreboard to reduce conflict between the two.
  
• Increased size of HUD icons.
  
• Fixed bug with env_hudhint that caused problems when its value was greater than 255 characters.
  
• Made the message of the day screen dismissible by hitting ENTER.
  
• Fixed servers not being able to set sv_hudhint_sound.
  
• Gun sounds now match up with the framerate dependent sound timing, and fixed the framerate dependent jittering bugs.
  
• Stats:
  
  • Fixed an issue that could cause loss of player stats if network connectivity was lost briefly, just after launching the game.
    
  • Fixed an issue that caused the favorite weapon to display incorrectly on the stats summary page when a player achieves the most kills with a knife or grenade.
    
  • Made newly-earned achievements and stats immediately update in the achievements and stats panels instead of showing stale data.
    
  • Improved the font on the achievement toast.
    

  [*]Community Requests:

  • Added cvar sv_enablebunnyhopping, defaulted to 0. ( A value of 1 autotags the server with "bunnyhop" )
    
  • De_dust and De_dust2 updated.
    
    • Fixed several exploits.
      
    • Fixed collisions on crenellation and domes.

<ul style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" >Added server ConVar "sv_max_usercmd_future_ticks" which prevents clients from running usercmds too far in the future.

Added missing Mac intro movie for cp_coldfront.

Fixed "Hit '%disguiseteam%' to Toggle Team" string and code so they're not hard coded to 'e' and '-'.

Fixed servers trying to validate backpack positions in inventories.

Fixed clients validating inventories other than their own.

Fixed item selection HUD elements showing un-acknowledged items, which resulted in items in invalid backpack positions.
