Oh dear, this looks like a privilege escalation vulnerability. point_servercommand is dangerous.

- Fixed a bug that would cause the Marked For Death icon to stay in the world after the owning player died

Now if only they could make it stop happening to hats and cosmetic items themselves.

EDIT: Haha, nope!

Uninstall any custom HUDs or you'll crash as soon as you join a team

edit: alternatively put cl_hud_playerclass_use_playermodel 0 in your autoexec.cfg

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TF2

The most important part of this update:

(The Medallion is a func_medal again, instead of a Tournament Medal)

 

[henke37]

Agreed, that was a major bug. Good that it was fixed.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

It should really be a prop_medal anyway. It is neither brush based nor performing a function.

 

[Ælement]

The most important thing is that it's no longer bearing such a boring title. I am happy.

Thats not true, I have been playing perfectly fine with my custom hud and have not used that.

That's because the small second update fixed it right away.
