Half-Life 2, Source Engine and Source Dedicated Server updates are available and will be applied automatically when Steam is restarted. The changes include:
Source Engine
Improved the performance of writing out save games. This will reduce the pause when you pass over an autosave trigger in Half-Life 2, or when you press the quicksave button
Improved the performance of writing out the thumbnail image for save games. This will also reduce the pause when passing over an autosave trigger or pressing the quicksave button
Increased cache memory usage for machines that have greater than 512MB of physical memory. This will reduce hitching due to cache thrashing.
Optimized the sound cache manager, which will reduce hitching as a result of sound cache thrashing
Minor optimization to the world renderer and world collision
Minor optimization to the way that asynchronous sound files are loaded
Optimized the way that sounds were loaded that are trigged by acting sequences
Optimization to reduced the number of times model sequences are iterated on per frame
Fixed rcon packet bug that was accepting negative packet lengths
Fixed rcon server failing on server restart
Half-Life 2
Weapon script files are preloaded at startup, instead of when they are accessed. This will reduce some hitches while playing Half-Life 2
Linux Server
Added "-pidfile" command line argument to output a pid file on startup
Condition Zero
Fixed "Your server is out of date Please update and restart" error
yet my game still stutters, its not as bad as b4 but it sure is annoying after awhile
