- Improved map load times for players on Windows (DX9), Mac and Linux
- Fixed random client crashes affecting some players with cosmetics
- Fixed random crashes on Mac, Linux and Windows XP that could affect users during map load and during play
- Fixed a bug with some ambient_generic entities failing to play their sounds
- Fixed a bug where players would see cosmetic items following them around while playing Mann vs. Machine
- Fixed not being able to 'inspect' the World Traveler hat
- Updated the model/materials for The Tyrantium Helmet, The Digit Divulger, and The Toy Soldier
- Added Asiafortress Season 8 medals

Other Things:
- new digit divulger
- a new texture for rd_asteroid
- koth_probed and ctf_2fort_invasion is back in official quickplay rotation (arena doesn't have a quickplay yet, maybe it will soon?)
- there is now a mapcycle_ladder.txt (thx Phi)

(wickedplayer is presumably either sleeping or at work, SORRY WICKEDPLAYER)

-Fixed a client crash on startup for players using DirectX 8

For some reason whenever I try to open my game once it gets past the initial loading screen the game "minimizes". By that I mean I can see my desktop but the game is still open and I can hear the little click when my mouse goes over the tf2 menu items. anybody else having this problem?

Explain to me why you think seeing a game of 2fort in 6s - hell, highlander - would be a good idea in 2015.

for the creation of easily defined and easily understood evidence regarding why we never want 2fort in 6s, presumably. FWIW, I enjoy watching horrible games that showcase issues in a ruleset or mechanic (this is my fav)

I'm not sure why there's a problem. I simply wouldn't mind seeing a group of players having a serious competitive game on a map such as 2Fort. It would be interesting for me to see it played out. Sorry if this is somehow a problem.

I think there was an ETF2L cup maybe a year or whatever ago, 2fort was one of the maps played.

Making Process an official map but not including it in the official competitive map rotation

QUESTIONABLE

I'm hoping it replaces 2fort for obvious reasons. With that said though, having maps like Foundry in the pool might be an opportunity for Valve to make necessary changes to some of the old unloved maps; personally I'd hope the map rotation gets tweaked and changed regularly to phase maps in and out for this exact reason. Seeing maps like Foundry, Well, Yukon and Freight get some official fixes and balance changes would be nice.

(also volvo update granary to match granary_pro and turbine to match turbine_pro pls)
