#9 TF2 UPDATE FOR 04/17/19 in TF2 General Discussion
yttriumwickedplayer494Yesterday was all sorts of chaos
ok hol up I wasn't criticizing you, and I'm sorry you went through all that shit, that sucks man. I was bringing up the fact that the TF team patched the game and only sent out an email to hlds_announce half an hour later, when normally they send the email roughly an hour before.

Oh no it's all fine, I just felt like sharing that story for the fun of it. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.

#189 ESEA to drop tf2 after season 31??? in TF2 General Discussion

I really miss the days of the old ESEA LANs from around the S6-S12 era.

#4 TF2 UPDATE FOR 04/17/19 in TF2 General Discussion
yttriumWicked hasn't put out a post because there wasn't an hlds-announce email. Again.

Yesterday was all sorts of chaos, Nexus 6 was at 0%, and some jackass caused some crashes including a vehicle rollover at Main and James which (somehow) forced the cops to shut down all of northbound Main for a good chunk of time. Didn't even let any buses through, they just kept them there shit out of luck stuck in the curb while reroute instructions were being handed out for those further behind to dodge the mess. They didn't even turn two of the southbound lanes into contraflow either even though it was pretty much all contained to the curb lane and a parking lot. Gave up, walked all the way to Portage and Main (and then underground a bit to get on the proper side - thanks a lot plebiscite voters) to get the one bus that goes across the river at Provencher instead.

Fun story: some guy's wife was attempting to cross the street on the Portage East side and he reached out and rescued her from getting hit by a car that had zero room to slow down (there was still a bit of distance but had he not held her it coulda been bad). I wonder how they voted in October. At the very least it was a refreshing display of faith in humanity.

Winnipeg food recommendation: to my surprise, my Bodegoes stuff was still rather warm throughout most of this ordeal. If Ai-Kon or something else manages to bring you here (or maybe the Stanley Cup Final if we make it that far providing we don't get Tampa Bayed), go check it out.

I really need a Pixel 2 XL.

#1 TF2 update for 4/17/19 in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS and the Steam store:

Valve- Fixed an exploit related to the Flamethrower shooting long distances
- Fixed being able to build outside the map on Badwater
- Fixed being able to build through gates on some maps

- Updated tournament medals include the removal of "Medal" from the Copenhagen Games Staff Medal's name, descriptions for UDL Spring Cup, Asia BBall Cup medals are no longer "Asian", and Palaise Limitless 6v6 medals now have descriptions.

- There isn't much else otherwise

#1 TF2 update for 4/16/19 (4/17/19 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Fixed an issue causing matchmaking to fail for many users due to Steam network changes
- Updated the localization files

Rumor has it:

- Aside from localization (made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You), this is pretty much a glorified local sync of recent Steam Datagram system configuration changes to address that issue

- Size is close to 1 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 4/2/19 (4/3/19 UTC, 1.36.8.7) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[MISC]

[MAPS]
Vertigo:

-Updated radar image

Rumor has it:

- Although GameTracking is busted right now (though given this is a bug-fixing update there wouldn't be much to see, will need to wait until overnight tonight for xPaw to give it a whack), this update also contains localization file updates which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~100 MB

#1 TF2 update for 3/28/19 (3/29/19 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS:

Valve- Improved how vote kicks work in matchmaking to reduce potential for abuse
- Fixed a case where vote-kicked players could rejoin a match
- Added Asian BBall Cup tournament medals
- Updated model/materials for the Rasslabyxa Cup Helper medal
- Updated RETF2 Retrospective finalist medals to be paintable

Rumor has it:

- Here's a look at the protobuf changes related to today's vote kick improvements: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/29d105ca9c078af1e2fec6ddf51b33e961a89f9c
- It appears that if a vote to kick a certain target fails, probably several times, you'll be stopped from calling further kick attempts on that player

- Other than the above changes, there are Scandinavian localization file updates included (with a touch of Thai), made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

#1 CS:GO update for 3/28/19 (3/29/19 UTC, 1.36.8.6) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[NEW RELEASES]
– A new music kit EZ4ENCE by The Verkkars is now available for purchase.
– A new Feral Predators Sticker Capsule is now available for purchase.

[MAPS]
– Vertigo has been moved from Reserves Group into the Active Duty Group.
– Cache has been moved from Active Duty Group into Reserves Group.

Vertigo:
-Added new cover in bottom of mid, that doubles as a ramp towards “window” to B site
-Pushed up CT spawns slightly
-Prioritized spawn positions, CTs will be biased towards forward spawns, Ts biased towards rear spawns
-Added corner railing to catwalk on B site
-Blocked two-man boost on top of spools in CT spawn
-Blocked angle over wall when going down stairs from B site towards T spawn
-Tweaked T stairs up to bombsite B
-Tweaked layout of T spawn slightly
-Updated bombsite target models on sites
-Elevator shaft injuries now count towards the injury statistic
-Fixed various clipping issues

[GAMEPLAY]
– Grenades will no longer go through closed doors in certain rare circumstances.
– Players can no longer pick up weapons through walls or without direct line-of-sight.

[MISC]
– Fixed certain textures sometimes not rendering when running with -d3d9ex launch option.
– Fixed an issue causing certain areas to not render correctly when spectating a player with zoom-in activated.
– Fixed items removed from user’s inventory sometimes showing up in loadout and buy menu incorrectly.
– Fixed player disconnect messages to have neutral names when communication preference is set to sanitize player names.
– Added “consecutive_round_losses” value for each team to Game State Integration output.

Rumor has it:

- In case pinching yourself wasn't enough to convince you that this wasn't just a "REAL" update joke, the proof of Vertigo being placed into Active Duty is in the pudding

- In case the concept of Active Duty and Reserves is foreign to you: Active Duty is the map pool that's played in many tournaments, including Valve-sponsored major tournaments, and anything else not in Active Duty is placed in the Reserves pool
- Have fun, pros?

- Want to check out the Feral Predators sticker capsule's contents? CS:GO Stash has it and its stickers up for viewing

- You can also preview the EZ4ENCE music kit on CS:GO Stash too

- Also included are localization file updates, which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

#1 TF2 update for 3/26/19 in TF2 General Discussion

Valve- Fixed the Exorcism effect not working for Wrangler kills
- Fixed a rare case where players could appear to be in a match they could neither join nor abandon
- Updated HUD with community fixes from CriticalFlaw
- Added and updated in-game medals for community/tournament events
- Updated the localization files

Rumor has it:

- New medals that were added include: ETF2L Highlander Low, RETF2 Retrospective 2, TFCL 2.0 Tester, NHBL 2nd Natascha Heavyweight Champion, numerous RGL.GG medals, UDL medals, Brazil Fortress JumpCup, Madness vs Machines, Fruit Mixes Highlander, New Caps Cup, Rasslabyxa Cup, Australian Hightower Highjinx, and South American Vanilla Fortress 6v6

- For a sampling of some of the HUD enhancements, head to CriticalFlaw's GitHub repo which contains before and afters (thanks to gemm on the teamfortress.tv forums for the link)

- Although GameTracking is currently shot to hell so I can't show you right now (will be several hours before that's able to happen), the "Sketchek's Bequest" part of The Axtinguisher's speed boost on killing blows buff has been removed after the controversy that erupted when a new upload occurred (the buff itself remains though, to avoid any confusion)

- This update brings an end to a record long drought of 63 days without any update. The last update prior to this one was on 1/22/19

#1 CS:GO update for 3/19/19 (3/20/19 UTC, 1.36.8.3) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[GAMEPLAY]
– Added a scoreboard element to indicate loss bonus for each team in Competitive and Wingman game modes.
– Zeus-x27 will no longer be able to kill people through walls.

[MISC]
– Fixed an issue causing black screen for users with integrated Intel GPU running with -d3d9ex launch option.
– Improved matchmaking times for Danger Zone.
– The recent teammates tab will now list your Danger Zone squad teammate even before the ongoing Danger Zone match is finished, so if you had a good game you can invite them to your party to play again.
– Added missing “The” to “The Emperor”

[MAPS]
– Vertigo has been added to Competitive matchmaking.
– Cobblestone has been removed from Competitive matchmaking.
– Overpass and Nuke have been moved into Defusal Group Delta.
– Cobblestone and Vertigo have been moved into Defusal Group Sigma.

Vertigo:
-Changed CT entrance to mid, so that CTs have a safer rotation between sites

-Smoothed out player collision on metal stairs in T spawn and B site
-Updated soundscapes
-Moved generator in T spawn up to second floor
-Made it slightly easier to throw grenades out of ceiling in T corridor to mid
-Minor tweaks and fixes

Rumor has it:

- Vertigo has been added to the Reserves pool, different from the Active Duty pool that's used in tournaments. It'll still be selected as part of your matchmaking search settings the next time you start the game nonetheless

- This update is pretty light otherwise, there's a local sync of recent Steam Datagram system configuration changes and a healthy dose of localization file updates, which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Not a part of this update, but do you use the in-game radio commands? Do you have an idea for a radio command you really wish existed but it doesn't? Matt Wood wants to hear from you about how you use radio commands and new ones you wish were in the game

#1 CS:GO update for 3/13/19 (3/14/19 UTC, 1.36.8.2) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[GAMEPLAY]
Adjusted round loss bonuses with the goal of reducing a negative feedback loop following streaks of losses.
– Round loss bonuses are now based on the count of a team’s round losses. The count increases by one after every loss, and decreases by one after every win (minimum 0).
— With 0 Losses: $1400
— With 1 Loss: $1900
— With 2 Losses: $2400
— With 3 Losses: $2900
— With 4+ Losses: $3400
– Previously, a win would reset the round loss bonus. Now, a win reduces the loss counter by one.
– Teams still begin the half with a loss count of 1.
– This is enabled by default and can be controlled using the mp_consecutive_loss_aversion server setting.
– The round loss bonus is still limited to mp_consecutive_loss_max multiplied by cash_team_winner_bonus_consecutive_rounds.

– Added flashbang assists for players who successfully flash an enemy which then gets killed by another player. Players who threw the flashbang will get an assist callout in the death notice. However if another player inflicted >40 damage to the victim for the assist, the flashbang assist player will not get the callout.

– AUG
— Now that players have had an opportunity to learn to love the AUG, returning the weapon to its original price of $3300.
– M4A1-S
— The M4A1-S now holds 25 bullets in the magazine, and has 75 in reserve.
– Shotguns
— Price reduction for some shotguns: Nova ($1050), Sawed-Off ($1100), Mag7 ($1300).
— Nova penetration increased to 1.
— Sawed-Off range increased to 1400.
— Single shell shotguns in the middle of their reload sequence will no longer automatically continue to reload after a player holsters and deploys them.
– Fixed a bug that prevented C4 or enemies seen through open doors from showing up on the radar.
– Fixed a rare bug where a C4 bomb reset trigger could reset the bomb to a position that was not on the ground.

[PRISMA CASE]
– Introducing the Prisma Case, featuring 17 community-designed weapon finishes, and the Horizon Knives in Chroma finishes as rare special items.

[ MISC ]
– New Loadout Shuffle feature is available in the inventory. Choose to shuffle any number of your weapons or music kits and a random one will be equipped each map.
– Several fixes for the ‘Clean Names’ communication setting.
– Renamed workshop workbench setting to ‘Side View’.
– Removed visual artifacts on a few image assets.

[ MAPS ]

Canals:
– reduced number of routes around bombsite B
– moved bombsite B inside the palace

- Desert Eagle Light Rail: "Its custom paint job creates an optical illusion and appears to change the weapon's geometry. Required power supply sold separately"
- Galil AR Akoben: "A rust-colored pattern has been spray painted over a white base. Your personal battle cry"
- R8 Revolver Skull Crusher: "It has been hand painted with yellow flames and red and white accents. "Open wiiiiide" "
- M4A4 Emperor: "It has been custom painted using the Emperor tarot card as inspiration. Lead with your head, even if it means ignoring your heart"
- AUG Momentum: "It has been custom painted with bright colors and forward facing arrows. Always moving forward"
- MP5-SD Gauss: "It has been custom painted to look like it was assembled from pieces of stamped steel. Lovingly referred to as the "SpaceGat 2000" "

- XM1014 Incinegator: "A custom paint job resembling a gator spitting fire has been applied. Boom. Bam. Bop... Pow."
- UMP-45 Moonrise: "A randomized city landscape in the foreground gives way to a full moon and purple-red night sky. Look for the North Star"

- CS:GO Stash is working on getting Prisma Case items up on their side as well

- /u/SlothSquadron has said that due to the detail Valve already gave for weapon stat changes, he'll be abstaining from doing a write-up on this one

- Script updates, localization file updates (made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You), new strings, and more: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/e51e54fc6d2d12a5e42502bfbba0a2cd8ee95825

#1 CS:GO update for 3/11/19 in CS2 General Discussion

Valve[ LOCALIZATION ]
– Fixes for multiple languages to not use fallback font in place of “Lucida Console” which improves legibility of netgraph, console, and other vgui elements.
– Add localization tokens for Danger Zone end of match “Damage Taken” and “Damage Given”.
– Fixes for some strings getting truncated in the HUD progress bar.
– Tweaks to “Best of 3” formatting so that longer translations didn’t overlap the star icons.

Rumor has it:

- IEM Katowice 2019 items have finally gone off sale, over 8 days after the conclusion of the final
