- The mat_hdr_level, r_rootlod, and r_waterforceexpensive settings are now saved in the user’s 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.

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.
