Notes are going to be much too long to post in their entirety here, please head to https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/77pkc8/major_tf2_update_for_102017_jungle_inferno_update/ or https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/2217263/ for them.
Rumor has it:
- Please give a round of applause to both /u/xPaw and /u/medli20 (and /u/Bobsplosion) for their OCR magic!
- This MAJOR update finally brings an end to the record longest drought that has lasted since 12/21/16 (Smissmas 2016), with the last non-seasonal update having occurred on 7/7/16
- For reference, here's a comparison of some long waits:
- The wait for Jungle Update was exactly 9 months and 29 days since Smissmas 2016, or 1 year, 3 months and 13 days since Meet Your Match
- The wait for a reworked de_dust2 in CS:GO took 1 year and 5 days
- The wait for AMD Vega took exactly 1 year, 4 months, 16 days, 3 hours and 15 minutes, and then some for retail availability
- The wait for what would eventually be Windows Vista took 5 years, 3 months and 5 days (or 2 years, 5 months and 3 days due to XP SP2 and the Longhorn reset)
- Here's the mammoth GameTracking diff, containing HUD file updates, strings, and a whole lot more: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/fc9f52ae9c359fb3735ef703bd3c03a9d63fedb3
- Size is ~1.2 GB - data capped users should have their preparations in place
