UPDATE 6/03/2009

[quote name=‘Jason Ruymen’]A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive it. The specific changes include:

Gameplay changes:

  • Added a duck timer that prevents duck spamming while running around on-ground.
  • In-air, players are only allowed to duck once before they touch ground again.

  • When disguising, Spies now always start showing the primary weapon in their disguise, and can then switch it with the last-disguise key.

TF2 Fixes:

  • Fixed flamethrower loophole that resulted in the flame effect being stuck on while the flamethrower wasn’t really firing.
  • Fixed exploit that allowed players to circumvent the force-fire timeout on the pipebomb launcher.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Natasha’s slow on hit effect to be inverted from 75% to 25%.
  • Restored sawmill_logs.mdl file, fixing some user maps that used it.
  • Fixed some localization issues with Scout achievement strings.
  • Removed the “Final” phrasing in the map loading screen.

Engine fixes:

  • Fixed a server crash on startup under Linux.
  • Fixed a buffer overflow issue related to network string tables.
  • Gamestats uploading is now done asynchronously. This fixes the client timeout issues on map changes.

CP_Junction:

  • Fixed an exploit where engineers could build a teleporter exit in an invalid area.
  • Fixed a few bad overlay assignments and other minor issues.

Jason[/quote]

Note: en réponse aux ingés qui peuvent plus sauter sur leur sentry à cause du changement de comportement du duck in-air:

[quote name=‘Robin Walker’]It was a side effect of the changes we made to ensure the bounding box more correctly matched the player’s animation, so that hitboxes were correct. We want you to still be able to jump sentryguns, so we’ll be doing something about it.
