#6 TF2 update for 4/30/19 (5/1/19 UTC) in TF2 General Discussion

twiikuuwickedplayer494- Would you like a side of protobuf additions with your localization files? https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/f5fd06fff2d26ece0a8b42dadfd693a71a4f8646Notable change: it seems like they added the Steam game networking sockets which is the tech they made for CSGO/DOTA2 in order to minimize the effect of DDoS on official servers. I'm not exactly sure how to check if Valve servers are actually using them now though.

Related talk, the solution is explained at minute 25
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CQ1sxPppV4
tl;dr: (supposedly) when playing Casual/Comp, you connect to a local relay, game data passes through their network infrastructure to reduce latency by limiting routing issues, server are not exposed to the entire internet so they cannot be taken down through attacks, DDoS is greatly mitigated because their only attack surface would be to target relays, which are very cheap to spun up again and get players back in

The Steam Datagram system has been implemented in TF2 for a little while now.

#1 EMERGENCY MAJOR CS:GO update for 4/30/19 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ DANGER ZONE ]
– Updated Danger Zone with a new map, new items, respawning, and more. For full details visit http://www.counter-strike.net/sirocco
– ExoJump Boots are now available. Hold the jump key for a high jump or crouch before jumping for a long jump.
– Bump Mines are now available. Toss one on the ground to send yourself (or an opponent) flying.
– The remaining new items and upgrades will be unlocked in future updates – check back and see what’s new!
– Blacksite is temporarily unavailable in official matchmaking.
– Your teammate will now appear wearing a blue uniform.
– A player pinging system has been added, bound to Mouse 3 by default (command “player_ping”)
– A radial weapon select menu has been added to allow quick visual selection of weapons/items. This menu is customizable by editing the radial_quickinventory.txt file. (command “+quickinv”)

[ MISC ]
– Fixed a lobby exploit

Rumor has it:

- Many are reporting that your speed while crouching has been altered as of this update from 85.00 HU/s to 87.72 HU/s (thanks to /u/Meuwzygz), and are noticing the effects of lowered accuracy, particularly with the AWP. Those numbers are with a knife equipped. Whether or not this was a deliberate change remains to be seen, though it'd be a rather impactful change that you would think wouldn't go unannounced if it was intentional

- Here is what a ping using Mouse 3 (aka a click of the mouse wheel) looks like:

https://i.imgur.com/W4f5syv.png

- Remember when Matt Wood asked for input on how you use CS:GO's voice commands? We may be close to seeing the fruits of that labor with a radial_radio.txt script file that was inserted that suggests the radio menus we're familiar with today may become a single radio wheel at some point in the future

- If it being radial wasn't enough of a hint, it'll probably be just like Portal 2's co-op ping wheel (or the ping wheels you may already be used to in either Dota 2 and/or League of Legends). The wheel will be limited to 12 slots maximum.
- Some new commands are: Go A/B, Need Drop, Sorry
- Scripts for all of the Counter-Terrorist and Terrorist factions have been updated in preparation for these changes; yes, even the Pirates have got it too

- /u/FuneralChris has all of your new console command needs right here, including "snd_mute_mvp_music_live_players" to silence MVP music if there is at least 1 player alive on both teams, and cl_player_ping_mute if you need to mute someone who's pinging way too much

- A couple of strings for a new "Bonus Rank XP" tool have been added. There isn't any indication as to how this would be obtained however (any guesses on it being a Perfect World thing?)

- There are far too many script updates to count in association with Sirocco and other Danger Zone changes, but you can view them all here if you're so inclined. Also buried in there are localization file updates which are made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- This update has been labelled as an EMERGENCY update due to a previously active security emergency involving lobbies (and the disabling of them afterwards), which has since been fixed as noted above

- Security emergencies affect everyone. If you find a security flaw that is just as severe as this lobby exploit in any Valve product including CS:GO, treat it as a security emergency - head on over to Valve's security page for details on how to responsibly disclose such a flaw
- Sharing steps to reproduce the flaw to Valve will help them greatly to verify the flaw's existence much more faster than them needing to run around hunting
- Did you know? You can now ~~urn reel moni~~ earn real money for responsible disclosure of security flaws if you send in an exploit through Valve's HackerOne page.

- Additionally, this update has also been labelled MAJOR due to its significant size and the significant amount of updates to Danger Zone in general

- Size is close to 625 MB - data capped users should be on alert

#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

#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.
