Team Fortress 2 Update Released
July 26, 2011 - Valve
Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
Team Fortress 2
- Corrected the damage ramp for the Cow Mangler 5000 and the Soda Popper
- Fixed a rare crash bug with the Demoman TFBot laying stickybomb traps
- Fixed a bug that would cause team-painted wearable gibs to show an incorrect color
- Fix memory leak when updating the item schema
- Fix an occasional crash on game exit
- Replay updates
- Client
- Added basic/rough render queue for internal use to increase replay output for relaunch trailer
- Block files are now deleted on replay reconstruction (i.e. viewing), to conserve disk space
- Unneeded block files are now cleaned up automatically on startup
- Server
- Fixed fileserver cleanup
- Any time replay_fileserver_offload_hostname is modified, the corresponding IP is resolved and cached, if possible. This fixes a crash, as well as failed publishing due to "unresolved hostname" errors.
- Added a fileserver IP lookup test to replay publish test
- Setting replay_enable to 0 now halts recording and does cleanup automatically, the way replay_stoprecord does. This fixes a crash that would occur when replay_enable was set to 0 and a changelevel was executed.
- Replay temp directories automatically cleared on startup on both client and server
- Memory management improvements
- Added ConVar demo_fov_override, which overrides the FOV during demo playback if the value is non-zero
