[Munro]

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically
when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:[br]
[br]
Team Fortress 2[br]

• Fixed a crash with ATI cards running on Vista
• Fixed a networking problem that could cause a crash certain types of home
  networking hardware with out of date firmware installed</li>
• Fixed a networking problem that could cause some animation jittering[br]
  </li>
• Fixed bug causing incorrect .dem files to be written (all files after first
  .dem file would be corrupted)[br]
  </li>
• Fixed bug with placement of teleporters that could result in players being
  unable to move[br]
  </li>
• Removed mp_friendlyfire cvar for servers. Team Fortress 2 breaks in a number
  of ways if this is on[br]
  </li>
• Fixed some truncated strings in the destroy menu[br]
  </li>
• Spectators can now see all player classes in the scoreboard[br]
  </li>
• When a round finishes, if there's less than 5 minutes left on the timelimit,
  the server now goes ahead and switches level right away, instead of going into
  Sudden Death[br]
  </li>
• The affinity of the main thread is not set explicitly for dedicated servers.
  This will properly load balance multiple instances of the dedicated server running
  on a multi-processor machine. The affinity is still set to CPU 1 for clients and
  listen servers[br]
  </li>
• Fixed crash on startup[br]
  </li>
• Fixed crash caused by .dlls being loaded from the user's path, instead of
  from the install directory </li>

• Fixed prediction error that caused jittery sticky bomb launcher behavior
  </li>
• Fixed rare crash when creating muzzleflashes

 

[noQ]

goody goody, hopefully most of the people got their problems resolved.

 

[Shamrock]

This fixes nearly everything. EVER!

But seriously, this update was grand. I don't have to worry about crashes ever again!

 

[bigburpco]

I haven't played TF2 before, but why take out sudden death? Anyone care to explain?

 

[Operational]

What used to happen was that when a round ended near to when the server was about to change the map you would instantly go into a useless Sudden Death (which should only be to settle stalemates) instead of a proper round.
I haven't explained that very well but the point is rounds will no longer consist of only Sudden Death.

 

[CyberPitz]

Great update. Hopefully this fixes a lot of peoples problems. Still hasn't fixed my music problem. When I start up TF2, everybody gets music, but mines so skippy like it's on a dirty CD..

 

[Coolpot]

maybe cyberpitz thats just a slow CPU, with onboard sound or somehting, not really a bug with the game, more that you need a decicated sound card of faster cpu

unless of course lots of people have this problem

 

[Xendance]

Fixed stutter bug yet?

Tell me this. At which point did they say that Sudden Death was removed from the game?

That's not it. I have the same problem and I doubt you need more than a E6600 @ 3.2ghz and a x-fi to play a song in the menu.

Bah, I really hope they fix friendly fire. It's one of the few negatives I have against the game is that you can just shoot everybody when you're paranoid about spies.

Yeah I'm scratching my head on the sudden death thing too. I had to read that 4 times and I still don't get it. Oh and check your drivers people!

It's prolly vista + creative drivers. Creative cant make drivers FOR SHIT!

It's implied that it's been removed, maybe not from the game code... but it's been removed from the game ya'll play.

Yeah, I think he gets the message and that's why he's saying 'bah' - he just hopes Valve will fix it in future and so do I.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

It's been known FF wasn't suppose to be in TF2 to begin with.

 

[Laivasse]

Edit: never mind.

Was on a server last night when a "sudden death" occured. A person quickly informed me of the update in English though. Some servers had the maps lasting under 5 minutes. So once a new map started, the sudden death instance would instantly occur. So the feature is still in, but they removed that bug.
