#9 TF2 update for 11/6/15 (11/7/15 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

fatswimdudeLKincheloefatswimdudewtf is GA'lloween
French, apparently.

http://www.gamers-assembly.net/frah i looked it up and only found a link for the 2014 event which led to a dead page

If you found a 2014 event, chances are it's the same event for 2015 if it has the same name.

#18 ESEA Matches cancelled 9/24 in TF2 General Discussion

TF2 is configured with the "checkforupdatesbeforelaunch" attribute which instructs Steam to ALWAYS check for an update first before launching the game, so anyone that launches the game to play their matches should all acquire the update when they go to launch if Steam scheduled it for later or if they haven't yet autoacquired it and should be able to play their matches without hitches.
