TF2 Newbs (Team Fortress 2) Blog

Hark! Yet another minor TF2 update, again adjusting the two beta maps!  But wait–there is some other stuff going on….

1. Demomen can no longer detonate sticky bombs while taunting.
2. Strange ranks are no longer displayed on the web.

Also, Terraria now has an updated official website, which has some spoilers for the upcoming Lunar Update!

TF2 Full Patch Notes

• Fixed a client crash related to the robot destruction HUD
• Fixed an exploit where players could circumvent successful kick votes
• Demoman can no longer detonate sticky bombs while taunting
• Strange Ranks are no longer displayed on the web (Trade, Steam backpack, Market) and only show ‘Strange’ as a prefix
• Default value for convar sv_vote_issue_scramble_teams_cooldown has been increased to 20 minutes
• Fixed sound clipping issue for the Demoman’s Spent Well Spirits taunt
• Added Jarate lightwarp preset to the Steam Workshop importer
• Updated the model/materials for the Neckwear Headwear to fix a lighting issue
• Updated pl_cactuscanyon
  • Increased amount of time the middle gates remain open before and after a train passes in stage 2
  • Adjusted spawn times at end of stage 2
• Updated rd_asteroid
  • Removed env_sun from the skybox
  • Optimized skybox performance
  • Lowered Scout/Sniper damage against robots
  • Fixed doubled-up health kits on the bridge
  • Added area portals to the base interiors to improve performance
  • Continued art-pass process
  • Fixed zebra-style art on static props on systems that used lower texture quality
• Added experimental cpu_frequency_monitoring convar to detect thermal throttling. If you have TF2 performance problems on Windows, add “+cpu_frequency_monitoring 2” to the TF2 command line to see if CPU thermal throttling is an issue. If the displayed CPU frequency percentage drops below about 80-85% then you may have a problem with your CPU slowing down due to overheating. If it drops below 50-55% then you may have a serious problem. CPU overheating can be caused by overclocking, insufficient cooling, insufficient airflow, failing or dirty fans, or other causes. The CPU frequency results are displayed with cl_showfps or net_graph. For more detail see https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2715-YIPD-6873
