Fixed HUD elements not drawing correctly after beginning to record a demo
still no fix for invisible players, but at least this makes fixing it yourself so much less painful

If anyone is having any issues, here is what I suggest and here is what worked for me:
If you get an error message like this:
http://nsrt.me/bin/1390526103.png
1) Validate your TF2 cache ( Steam -> TF2 -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache (there will probably be a lot of errors)
2) Move your download and cfg folders to your desktop (you will most likely loose either in the update, I did it as a precaution)
3) Exit and relaunch steam
4) Update TF2 (it should work now)
5) Move your folders back, but keep a copy on your desktop or back up location of choice just in case
6) Start the game, it should work.
Let me know if this helps anyone!

All I did was restart steam and it worked. Try that first to save yourselves time.

DrPloxo- Updated the countdown logic to un-Ready a team if someone quits during the final 10 seconds or disconnects while everyone else is Ready
probably should have highlighted that too
Pretty sure that's MvM specific, tournament readying is only 5 seconds - unless they also added it there? Haven't tested it.

Yeah, kind of fucked over my community's servers too. Were full pretty much full-time in the weeks up to the update, now we just can't get players on it. Pretty shit considering we were running it completely stock, with way better connection than I get to any valve servers.

Valve responded to emails by saying they were working on a solution, so hopefully pub TF2 isn't completely dead yet.

They won't let a problem like that stay that way for too long. Regardless of what most pubbers think, the tf2 team does actually care.

No reason to keep random crits on then.

I like the new feature, because I honestly prefer playing on valve servers. I'm sick of having to download random sounds, or deal with sourcemod plugins that aren't needed. I'm also sick of unavoidable advertisements at the beginning of every round. I understand there are some good pubs out there, but those are never active during my regular play hours. At least this way I can find a populated server.

i don't think anyone is saying that there should not be an option to only quickplay to valve servers...
the problem is that instead of actually working to fix the cancer (saigns, bets.tf, premium benefits for servers, lots of ads, etc) -- valve just nuked all community servers from quickplay.
