Rumor has it:

- /u/OrelStealth has taken a quick screenshot showing how the language and region codes are implemented in both sets of panels:

https://i.imgur.com/2kuXYwF.jpeg

- Flag images have been given a new directory ("regions" as opposed to "flags") in the game's VPK structure, and duplicate flags left over from when Autodesk's Scaleform was the UI system being used have been purged

- A few adaptations have been made for the Chinese version of the game when under Perfect World/Steam China influence, including slightly different site signs for Mirage, and the removal of skulls from the covers of the Death's Head Demolition (see original here) and Astro Bellum music kits

- Music kit names and descriptions from the previous update, along with a few other unrelated strings here and there have been translated into many different languages, made possible through the efforts of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Translators, if you want a sneak peek at what Valve *will* and *won't* ask you to translate into native languages, it's all clearly laid out in csgo_english here

Rumor has it:

- Descriptions for each music kit are as follows:
- Austin Wintory, Mocha Petal: "Austin Wintory answers the question humanity has asked for ages: what happens if you merge beer garden accordion polka music with grungy heavy metal?"
- Chipzel, ~Yellow Magic~: "Video game composer and chiptune legend Chipzel brings a glitchy Speak & Spell inspired mashup of hybrid styles packed with fun, funk and flavour."
- Freaky DNA, Vici: "Opera. 8-bit sounds. Analogue synths. What's not to love? Chiptune specialist Freaky DNA and soprano Leanne Koch team up for some heavy beats and good times!"
- Jesse Harlin, Astro Bellum: "Composer Jesse Harlin delivers bombastic space opera drama inspired by classic sci-fi of the 70s, 80s, and beyond."
- Laura Shigihara: Work Hard, Play Hard: "Video game composer and developer Laura Shigihara will help you tell everyone loudly and proudly that you're the MVP. Have fun with this unique blend of 90s dance, retro video game synth, and just a hint of Plants vs. Zombies."
- Sarah Schachner, KOLIBRI: "Brought to you by Sarah Schachner, a dystopian goth choir of self-aware, Scandinavian robots decide that humanity must be eliminated."

- If you want to preview these music kits before choosing which one to buy, CS:GO Stash has put them all up for your convenience

- You can view all of the script additions/modifications to hook these kits up, item schema changes to make these kits items, inventory images, and a light touch of localization (made possible by Translators Like You - Thank You) over here

- Warnings for excessive griefing reports will read as follows: "You have been receiving significantly more griefing abuse reports than most players. If this continues you will receive a matchmaking cooldown penalty."

Rumor has it:

- With the newly added abilities to save & reload map selections/presets (which TF2 players may find familiar with its Casual mode) and queueing for both Premier mode and standard mode, the Competitive map selection UI has been given a bit of a refresh of sorts:

https://i.imgur.com/RnQA93Z.png

- Available presets aside from Your Favorites include Premier, Active Duty, Hostage, and New

- The link to the Fair Play Guidelines (which you were probably abiding by before it was written down) takes the form of a disclaimer under the match ready popup. Note that clicking on it to view the FPG will open your system default web browser, as opposed to taking you to the Steam Community overlay

- Alongside the gamemodes.txt changes necessary to make queueing for both Premier mode and standard mode possible, you'll also find several new translations which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

After today's set of tournament medal additions I fully sympathize with Valve in wanting to recycle models/inventory images from previous years and seasons because this set is ridiculous. Without further ado, the two RHI bullets that would not fit in the OP because of this site's character limit:

- Also on the tournament medal front as far as updates to existing medals:

- Respawn League AUS/NZ Quadlander 4v4 2021 medals now state they're for its Main division

TF2 update #2 for 6/22/21 (6/23/21 UTC):

Via the Steam store:

Rumor has it:

- This is just the 4th update to occur this year so far

- Size is ~5 MB

Most likely addressing The Secret Club's public disclosures after being stonewalled. Yeah, it's been that long.

Via the Steam store and HLDS:

Rumor has it:

- /u/Serird has put together a listing of the contents of the Summer 2021 Cosmetic Case (and Unusual effects), complete with Steam Workshop links to pass some applause on to item/effect creators that made it in the case

- Community server operators have noticed that a 64 MB cap on custom downloadable content has been implemented, including to maps served through FastDL. While it's possible this may be part of the "numerous security and stability improvements", it appears that it may not be entirely intentional as Eric Smith has sent a follow-up message to the HLDS list stating that Valve is "looking into the reports" of clients being unable to download larger maps
- This has been fixed in update #2

- Because there are now multiple ways you could be prevented from calling a vote to kick, strings will no longer be specific as to the cause (previously, it would've been only for having called another vote recently)

- The new cluster has been up for a couple of months already, but seeing as it only just now got its string it's worth mentioning anyway: the EU West server cluster (as it's known in Dota 2 and CS:GO) has been relocated from Luxembourg to Frankfurt, Germany

- For a complete listing of today's tournament medal additions and updates, please click on https://www.teamfortress.tv/post/1040146/tf2-update-for-6-22-21 due to character limit reasons

- This update's arrival brings an end to another record-shattering drought that lasted just a few days short of 4 months, or more specifically, 112 days without an update, with the last one having occurred on 3/2/21
- This update is just the 3rd to happen so far in 2021, which itself is almost halfway done. By this point of the year last year, the game had 5 updates by the same day of the 2020 calendar year (which became 6 a couple of days later on 6/24/20)
- The previous all-time record drought was a stretch of 80 days in a similar timeframe last year, from 1/18/20 to 4/7/20 (4/8/20 UTC)
- Before that, the now 3rd all-time longest drought was a stretch of 72 days from 5/14/19 to 7/25/19 (7/26/19 UTC)

- Lots of localization file changes, as well as item schema changes can all be viewed here

- If you're having a hard time wrapping your head around what the bounding box issue is all about, try watching this brief video demonstrating the problem uploaded by /u/OrelStealth and you'll most likely walk away with a much better understanding of it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkjoCXk3P-Q

- A description outlining each of the options for sv_damage_print_enable has been attached to that command which will appear when it's entered without a number, now that option 2 has been implemented

- While today's map updates make up a bulk of the size of this update, there is also a slightly smaller than usual set of translations, which are made possible with the efforts and help of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is close to 300 MB

Via the CS:GO blog:

Rumor has it:

- As /u/vMcJohn alluded to a couple of weeks ago, a fix for Trusted Mode blindly trusting anything with a digital signature that just so happened to be located in C:\Windows\* (such as a workaround to use OBS' Game Capture layer) has been implemented where if foreign software is detected, the game will operate as if it was running with the -allow_third_party_software launch command (and there's a few GC protobufs to relay that fact when it does happen)

- Yes, 2020 RMR Sticker Capsules are still available to be purchased

- Other than that, a few translations have made their way in that were hammered out as usual with the help of Translators Like You - Thank You

- Size is ~250 MB
