#1 CS:GO update for 4/21/16 (4/22/16 UTC, 1.35.3.1) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[UI]
– Adjusted Spectator Graphs: Replaced HSP and economy stats with Enemies Flashed and Utility Damage.
– Added main menu UI to register for a new beta.
[MAPS]
– Tulip
— Various bug and exploit fixes
– Mirage
— Vandalism
– Moved Nuke to the Active Duty map group.
– Moved Inferno to the Reserves map group.
[OPERATION WILDFIRE]
– Updated a Wildfire mission (YOINK!) for the bonus condition to use Santorini instead of Nuke.
[SDK]
– demoinfogo tool code is now available on GitHub and no longer ships as part of SDK.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-demoinfo, patches welcome.
– demoinfogo includes a GitHub fix for PlayerInfo being retrieved with wrong Entity if players reconnect during the match demo (Thanks rchh!).
[COMMUNITY SERVERS]
– Changed default value for cvar sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond=16 to make community servers that don’t actively configure this setting run with a more conservative command rate limit.

Rumor has it:

- The new beta is "Prime" matchmaking, looks like Valve's taking a page out of the Amazon book for higher quality matchmaking: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/79db109944a71a270e1b5b03440ee18e717dd9d4

- Here's the FAQ string that describes its intent:

Valve (in-game)CS:GO is running an experiment to find out whether players will have a better matchmaking experience when they are matched with players who are using a phone-linked CS:GO account.

To join the experiment, you'll need to upgrade your CS:GO account to Prime status. Just click the UPGRADE button below, which will bind your Steam phone number to your CS:GO account (provided it qualifies, see the F.A.Q. below).

If you own multiple CS:GO accounts, be sure to upgrade your favorite one since you can only upgrade one CS:GO account to Prime status with your qualifying phone number.

Once there are enough Prime accounts, we will begin Prime Account Matchmaking and will start prioritizing matching Prime status players with each other.

There's nothing else you need to do (except convince your friends to click that Upgrade button too so we get enough players to start testing!)

- They were suspiciously absent from the update that also included the Pick'Em trophies, but trophies for MLG Columbus participants have been added with this item schema update

- Graffiti was added to Mirage to commemorate coldzera's quadruple AWP devastation against Liquid, ImPieLife of reddit shared a screenshot of it

- Here's some low-level stuff and GC protobufs for developers: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/433a3fd9021ab616a33d00b8fa6e06643aafde67

#1 CS:GO update for 3/23/16 (3/24/16 UTC, 1.35.3.0) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[MISC]
– Fixed a bug where the map overview would move a dead player’s icon to the position of their spectator camera, showing a live player’s position (Thanks jubiii!)
– Added a missing collection tag to Shadow Case.
[SERVERS]
– This update includes a previously released patch for gameservers to deny setinfo calls for keys that weren’t configured at client connection time.
– Added a convar sv_vote_count_spectator_votes that can be set to zero while enabling sv_vote_allow_spectators to initiate votes without casting an initial YES vote.
[MAPS]
Overpass:
– Grenades will no longer fall between cracks in Bombsite B
– Added backface to door in upper park (Thanks Guardian!)
– More accurate collision model on tree and rocks used in upper park
Cobblestone:
– Updated loading screen image

Rumor has it:

- There's some All-Stars stickers for the All-Starts match: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/eb6a1d801653f5a2b1a524aac9904d992520d8e1

- Fnatic stickers, souvenir cases, and some Operation Wildfire things were modified in this item schema update

- GC protobufs, for developers: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/117cbd35a791ef5ee30ed949f7311ddfa7a33c0c
- Notice how that Cobblestone image looks all garbled? What you see *isn't* what you get on that front, so don't freak out as it isn't Valve's fault as it should be all fine in everyone else's copies of the files

- Size is ~35 MB

Martyany patch notes for the mm fixes?

None yet other than mattr0d's remark about that one exploit, but if a test is gonna happen, then they'll likely be posted.

#1 CS:GO update for 3/18/16 (3/19/16 UTC, 1.35.2.9) in CS2 General Discussion

– Fixed model panel not clearing when exiting inventory while in the pause menu.
– Fixed past tournaments having incorrect scroll state.
– Wildfire campaign missions have a new HUD element to display your mission objectives and progress.

- By the way...if you were using the "feb_26" previous version branch for whatever reason (or you wanted to), it's gone. Just gone. A new one to replace it hasn't been put up though

- Also, do you happen to be fluent (or near-fluent) in another non-English language? If so, consider joining the Steam Translation Server to help translate the 700+ strings added with last night's update

- Festive chickens? Surely they can't be wearing the Santa hats already...no! They actually have bunny ears, as I_Love_Potatoess of reddit spotted one with them on in the wild
- Chickens also jump around

#1 TF2 update for 3/17/16 (3/18/16 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

- Fixed the Demoknight contract counting suicides as contract progress

- Last hit sounds no longer consider the time of the previous hit sound
- Fixes the sound not playing if you damaged an enemy too close to landing the last hit
- Updated ctf_thundermountain
- Fixed being able to build on rocks outside of the fence by the capture points

Rumor has it:

- Lots of .res file changes (and some stuff may be mixed in from update #2, just FYI): https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/d928f43f3b75b3f707eea2e6ea40879c51bd85c7

- And an item schema update (as well as one for CS:GO, append ".diff" to the end of the URL if you want to see that one): https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/e228357fb426de287a73ff4f588dedab29aec16c

#1 TF2 update for 3/10/16 (3/11/16 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

Via HLDS and the Steam Community:

For everything else:

Valve- Updated content and features for the TF2 Competitive Mode beta
- For more information on how you can participate in testing, please visit https://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive
- Fixed bots equipping the canteen in Mann vs. Machine mode
- Added new styles for the Dead of Night
- Updated materials/models for the Trickster's Turnout Gear, The Maniac's Manacles, The Spooky Sleeves, The Lone Survivor, The Killer's Kit, Beep Boy, Dead of Night, and the Employee of the Mmmph

For competitive matchmaking components:

Valve- Fixed a case where players would sometimes drop while connecting to a match server, and not trigger an abandon (resulting in 6v5, etc)
- Timing improvements in the Stats and Medals screen
- Fixed parties disbanding after clicking the new "Disconnect" button on the Stats and Medals screen
- Fixed various methods players used to escape spawn during the 10-second countdown
- Fixed broken countdown screen state when a player would abandon the game during the final countdown
- Fixed players seeing a benign "not connected to the game coordinator" message after leaving a match. (This did not affect match results)
- Added a TF2-specific "Report Player" system available while connected to a game server. Button located next to the "Call Vote" button on the main menu.
- Added round start UI elements
- Tuned rank progression so that it's easier to progress through lower ranks
- Fixed various issues that could occur whenever a player abandoned a match during the 10-second countdown
- The game server no longer checks for idle players during ready-up mode (also applies to MvM)
- Performance medal awarding logic now better scales with total match time
- Pyros now receive Support points whenever they airblast Invulnerable enemy players
- Added a "Global 100" leaderboard to the competitive matchmaking lobby screen
- Expanded the number of friends that can be visible in the Friends leaderboard

Rumor has it:

- Remember that pressing F7 allowed you to file a report? You no longer need to memorize that key, as syberspace_ of reddit points out a button for reporting players has been added to the menu while in a game (including outside of competitive)
- As it stands, the prompt seems to be quite bare in comparison to the prompt brought up on pressing F7:

http://i.imgur.com/D0DfaUV.png

- Four options exist at the moment, these are "cheating", "idle/AFK", "harassment", and "griefing"
- Unintended side effect: you can also try to get yourself VACcinated if you want to, as demonstrated in the above image

- As you might expect, an item schema update: http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/commit/?id=cf50d2792576b1477424cfe63d14266d8278a114&context=10

- Updated the draw sound for the Dead Ringer
- Updated equip_region settings for the Exorcizor and the Cotton Head
- Updated models/materials for the Beep Boy, Sidekick's Side Slick, The Rotation Sensation, The Chill Chullo, and The Breakneck Baggies

For competitive matchmaking components:

Valve- Fixed a case where players who had previously opted to late-join Mann vs. Machine matches would sometimes appear in competitive matches
-- This would result in matches with unusual team sizes
- Games no longer end when a player abandons a match that is in-progress

- Fixed damage blocked during a medic ÜberCharge not counting toward the Support stat
- Increased server capacity for future stress tests to help meet demand

Rumor has it:

- Here's an item schema update: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/808f0d4fcbfcb7a04659b5068d3cec15e407bc70
