Team Fortress 2 Update / Fixes

[Hectic Glenn]

Changes are below, some fairly important. Good to see a fast patch.

• Fixed Ambassador not using hitboxes to trace against players. It now works like all other bullet-firing weapons in the game
• Fixed Ambassador shooting through gates
• Fixed Ambassador not critting during the round win period
• Fixed control point not being named correctly on Arena Sawmill
• Fixed cloaked Spies being able to taunt attack
• Fixed Spy feign death not being reflected in scoreboard
• Fixed Jarate effect on DX8 machines
• Fixed rare crash in Spy "A Cut Above" achievement
• Fixed the backpack icon appearing over the "Could not connect to Steam" message in the client inventory
• Fixed German localization string for respawning players showing %1

Ambassador gate shooting and spy invisible taunt killing are problems of the past! Steam news.

I knew that the second I heard about the gate shooting it would be fixed in a day or two. HOORAY VALVE. *Suck penis*

After speaking with a couple people they are getting error messages when joining servers. Since this update just came out, many servers haven't updated yet and that is the common problem. Should be alright in a while.

does the free weekend start soon??

Doesn't mean people like Hool aren't going to come in and bitch about how shitty Valve is with their games.

Been started I believe.

 

[Reginald]

What about fixing Pipeline so that when one team wins, the game ends?

Brilliant update otherwise.

My cloak and dagger seems to render me permenantly invisible, even while moving. : |

No damage reduction on the ambassador? Seems to do a lot more damage than the revolved, even though it's supposed to do less.

It does 15% less damage than the revolver, it was just that with the revolver you could miss. You could have a stormtrooper's aim and hit with every single bullet of the ambassador. Minicrit, body shot body shot body shot body shot body shot.

I wish they had fixed the unlock system. Today I got a 2nd Force-A-Nature which is going to be endlessly useful. :|

 

[Eejit]

Yeah I think I'll just delete all the unlocks I have so far and start fresh

 

[TimoJay]

Didn't someone say you'll be able to trade weapons in the future? That's what the double/triples are for.

It'll be like Pokemon! except you aren't 12 anymore and these are guns

Ok let's say you're a little kid and you're out in the neighborhood playing on a new playground that just opened up. All of a sudden, the Ice Cream Man comes and says "Free Ice Cream!" The Ice Cream man takes out a hat and starts drawing names from it. He starts naming people left and right, as they go up to receive their Ice cream, you stare on in an envious rage. The playground is fun and all but you really want that ice cream. What seems like hours go by. All of a sudden, a friend of yours is dropped off by his parents. Seconds after he gets there, you hear his name get called. Now that isn't very fair is it? You've been sitting here waiting and your friend just comes and gets it immediately?

10truechar.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unbiased, unprejudiced, fair.

Is the spy knife taunt supposed to crit? I stabbed an engy and soldier at the same time (after match end) and it took all three (not critical) strokes to kill them. Even if it's not crit, the match was over, where everything is crit. Is that weird or normal?

The Cloak and Dagger (is that what it's called?) rocks. I can finally get more than five feet out of the spawn point without 'dying' and actually get around to dying at a better location. Once on Gold Rush I got 'killed' near the cart in a close game, and died shortly thereafter while invisible. All talk was on, and I heard the other team scrambling to find me, knowing that I was rolling with this update and thinking that I'd managed to wander off unscathed.

 

[bbson john]

Getting a second Bonk softdrink is fun. If it is THAT random, I wonder how many duplicated weapons I will get before finding the new weapons.

 

[Eejit]

If you have all the old unlocks then the chance of getting one of the new weapons rather than an old one is 1 in 3 (2 new classes, 4 old)

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

at least they fixed these problems pretty quickly...still doesn't change that the update is largely a miss.

The knife doesn't crit during humiliation, even though it has the animation to. Sorry bub.

The Cloak and Dagger is the other watch, you're talking about the Dead Ringer.

 

[Eejit]

Really? Seems like a fairly good update to me.

 

[kacation_man]

they gonna fix the shit with the free loaders camping spectate to get free shit? I have not tried this my self but apparently you can just spectate and be rewarded for it..

in my opinion they need to update it so that you have to be showing some kinda movement or something to have the timer running. also, they need to have special unlocks for achievement gettings so all the other noobs will shut up about it.

Uh, and why the hell do you care how people get the new weapons? If they aren't wasting more hours upon hours of their time on the keyboard to earn 5 more flairguns and maybe a huntsman as you do, why do you give a shit?

 

[diluted]

Uhh so how long does it take to get an unlock? I've probably logged 2-3 hours of playtime since they changed things and I've still yet to receive anything. This new system sucks even more than the last one, at least before you could go achievement grind on an achievement server to get your unlocks.

 

[Eejit]

Apparently 1 in 4 hours on average. 1 in 3 chance of getting a new one if you have all of the old ones. So statistically about 1 new weapon for 12 hours played.

 

[Asknoone]

There is a plus side to this broken system: the mentally retarded users of Steampowered are crawling from the woodwork en-masse to radiate their stupidity. I mean, there is this very clearly flawed system in place, and yet, somehow, these people can’t even communicate that properly without coming across as salivating, ignorant little twerps.

just seems like weak shit is all..

 

[nipples]

I have played TF2 for eleven hours since the update and was afk for nine.

I unlocked three Backburners, Natascha, the Sandman, the Ubersaw and the Razorback. The first three I unlocked within my first hour and a half, the Razorback after seven hours of straight play and the Ubersaw at some point while afk.

The Razorback and Sandman were the only weapons I didn't previously own. What a great system.
