This could be interesting

edit: svar, not cvar. Might be useful for managing STVs somehow though.

] sv_memlimit
"sv_memlimit" = "0"
- If set, whenever a game ends, if the total memory used by the server is greater than this # of megabytes, the server will exit.

From what I gather, on map change (tournament restart as well maybe?) the server restarts if there is more than X memory in use. I bring up STVs because I remember there being a problem in the past of some plugin breaking and the server making some 5GB STV overnight because it never stopped recording.

The 5gb stv would take up disk space, not memory. I think this is supported to prevent memory leaks by forcing a server restart if it's taking up too much memory.

Ok i just played a highlander pug and all im seeing is floating items everywhere which is SUPER annoying! considering when a pyro wears some kind of full body suit lol i just see it floating and im confusing it as a normal player.

Also i hear their enemy uber when they use it the 'static' sound so that's either a bug or some stupid update cuz it'll be more noticeable when you are not on sight of the medic.

Damn that steam skin looks nice. You sure it's not custom? I'm in the beta and I don't have it.

edit: Just updated now and got it. Very nice.

Yea, steam updated their beta.

August 7 - Steam Client Beta Update - August 7th
We've just published a new beta which includes the following changes:

Steam Client
Updated desktop user interface styles, simplifying common controls and navigation elements, and neutralizing overall color palette to align with Steam web pages and Big Picture mode
Don't delay content updates for games set to high priority
Fixed crash if you clicked on a game on the downloads page or clicked the details option in the games grid view

The Music thingie was added a while ago though.
