Big-ass update released

[Iron_cube]

Well its still in :O

It doesnt hurt people, its just a visually better way to suicide.

"Ah I see it's mastered to a set rate during setup. If this is true, does this mean no uber when the gates open?"

Means that if you're healing as a medic during setup then you'll automatically get an uber. The flat rate is equal to the damage "grinding" before the update.

Team Fortress 2


Restricted sound engine updates to a max of 100fps

Fixed the problem with mp_maxrounds not correctly counting the number of rounds for Dustbowl after the scoring change

Fixed cloaked/disguised/disguising spy reporting his achievements to everyone else
Added the ability for servers to have map-specific .cfg files in the cfg folder (missed in yesterday's release notes)

I was thinking about that earlier since it shows a big yellow trophy ontop of your head.

Today's update has messed up the sounds and the muzzle flashes.

 

[Hamsocks]

Yeah the guns have more "oomph" to them. I like it, but the muzzle flash can be so intrusive that it's hard to keep a bead on a target. I was trying to chase down a sniper as a scout and it was like I had a flashbang go off in my face every time I fired.

 

[Iron_cube]

The guns sound like shit now.

It's like half their proper sound file is played instead.

 

[Hamsocks]

Another mini-update came out. Did this fix the sound problem?

 

[KennyJC]

what the hell is this 'civilian' thing people are talking about?

 

[Mahalis]

It was a bug where players could join an extra class, "civilian". No weapons and no model of their own - they were basically skating, slow, T-pose Scouts. Useless.

 

[Iron_cube]

New scattergun and machine pistol muzzle flashes are ****ing horrible

 

[AciD]

^1st time I saw them I think that is bug I think "TF2 can't have so mofoing muzzles". Next time I played I realised that is tru :/

 

[The Shape]

snd_noextraupdate 1

add that to your autoexec.cfg to fix the sound problem.

 

[AciD]

huh I played 15 mins ago and noticed that those muzzles are looking better like those one from preview vids.

 

[Headcrab Pie]

I like the sounds now.

 

[skedar]

has anyone else noticed that they have tweeked the sound of the shotguns?

 

[AciD]

And sentries also sentries sounds like they are firng less bullets :S

 

[Iron_cube]

Team Fortress 2

* Fixed an audio problem in the previous update where sound corruption could occur on some systems

Yeyzz

 

[KennyJC]

Is it just me or is there a cool new effect when people go on teleport entrances?

 

[Stigmata]

It's not just you. Those are the "player-shaped particles" that the update fixed. I think they also fall off the player after teleporting, in addition to the glowing ring that was there before.

 

[AciD]

Glowing ring was worst particle in TF2

 

[Jintor]

TF2 Update is now awesome.

 

[Parrot of doom]

I'm just glad they stopped idiot demos spamming over the map in Dustbowl. Although I miss being able to shoot through the gates. Was always fun killing noobs there

 

[giant384]

that bridge in dustbowl looks so out of place

 

[AciD]

Ah as pyro I still burn noobz thru gates

 

[Iron_cube]

Team Fortress 2

* Fixed "CUtlLinkedList overflow!" crash
* Added player position data to server logging of events (player_death, player_builtobject, teamplay_flag_event, object_destroyed, teamplay_point_captured, teamplay_capture_blocked)
* Improved mapcycle handling to ensure it always loads new mapcycles when the mapcyclefile convar is changed
* Fixed sniper quick-switch exploit allowing them to avoid zoom/unzoom times
* Fixed an exploit allowing players to spawn into the enemy territory at the start of a round
* Fixed syringegun projectiles sometimes pushing players high up into the air, allowing them to reach bad map locations
* Removed an obscure rendering setting that would allow players to make cloaked spies appear fully black

Let the bitching begin.

 

[Rapstah]

They removed the bug that's been haunting CS for ten years? Hooray.

 

[jakesp]

Is this on 360 or just PC?

 

[delusional]

Fixed syringegun projectiles sometimes pushing players high up into the air, allowing them to reach bad map locations

They just ruined jump maps

 

[Stigmata]

Oh well. At least Engineers can't be boosted to insane places.

 

[KennyJC]

Bodies still sometimes fall through the ground.

 

[Iron_cube]

Well that fix just made me stop using sniper, I already sucked with him anyway D:

 

[bbson john]

Ah as pyro I still burn noobz thru gates

I still bomb the shit out of the noobz thru the gate.

 

[Adabiviak]

How would you make someone go into the air with the syringe gun?

 

[AciD]

Like boosting players in cs 1.6

 

[Stigmata]

How would you make someone go into the air with the syringe gun?

The syringe gun has a knockback effect on teammates in mid-air. Or "had", at this point.

 

[Adabiviak]

Ah, after reading another post, shooting peoples soles would apparently do this. I will have to try it.

 

[AciD]

Hey its fixed now

 

[Iron_cube]

Team Fortress 2

* Added an option in the Options->Multiplayer dialog to filter custom game files being downloaded from servers
* Fixed cases where ragdolls were falling through the world
* Graphics optimizations for mid and low end hardware
* Fixed players blocking doors in Well
* Fixed engineer building in exploit areas on final caps in Well
* Increased starting round timer to 10 minutes in Well

coolio

 

[The Shape]

The new update caused this for me. This is supposed to be the main menu

 

[Planetary]

Ouch!

Look on the bright side: a nice uncluttered free wallpaper!
