Update upon us!

[Icarus]

Haha yes, I got my Gentle Manne Medal of Service

 

[Hawk]

I'll betcha we have the chance to EARN those medals at some point.

 

[Rikka]

But I do wonder why Valve is getting on this 'special items but not for everyone kick'.

It just seems to make people unhappy because there is content available but they can't have it.

There's a stupidly large amount of people out there who want these items to be "special".

 

[YM]

Got mine, Its lovely

 

[Nineaxis]

Yeah, the medal it just a neat little thing.

People shouldn't complain, they wouldn't have gone through the trouble to code in an extra loadout slot for only one item, there should be more in the future, and besides...

1. The Medal does nothing
2. It's nowhere near as cool as a hat

 

[Fazer]

Wait, what about the stunned ubered achievement?

You can still stun ubercharges from Kritzkrieg, you know?

Actually, they say that you can't... (they= steam forums)

Niec medal for nice people! They complain, they get nada!

Lies. Someone stunned Supertoaster while I was kritzing him during gameday today (resulting in a rapid death by rocket, fire, and FAN).

 

[Jack Riguel]

Those medals are incredibly unnoticeable. I know full well that everyone who was playing soldier today (that was half the server) had gotten them, and I never even saw one.

Eh, I'd rather have the medic highlander hat anyday though... hell I'd trade all of mine just to get that one.

I'd trade my SOUL (soul meaning my batters helmet and my trophy belt) for the scouts newsboy cap. >:

The new hats are freaking awesome.

I almost drop all my bowels when I heard mangy got his map official. good thing I didn't though I wouldn't have my good chair...but wooo!

Bugfix update is out.

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Team Fortress 2


Fixed "r_rootlod" being marked as a cheat, which prevented it from being changed and caused a significant performance loss for some GPUs

Changed "The Big Hurt" Scout achievement to be "Stun 2 Medics that are ready to deploy an ÃœberCharge."

Fixed Announcer overtime bug on KOTH servers using mp_timelimit

Due to many requests, added server ConVar "tf_overtime_nag". When set to 1, it keeps the broken announcer behavior

Fixed tournament stopwatch not displaying the time in the HUD

Fixed a bug with cloak meter regen and drain rates

Fixed Spies not being able to go invis while reloading

Fixed pipebombs sticking to saw blades

Fixed weapons not being hidden properly during loser state anims

Fixed a case where radius damage didn't reduce damage to self

Fixes Demomen taking too much damage from their pipebombs

Fixed a case where items would never show up in the backpack, even though they were available to equip

Fixed a case where items weren't being validated properly in class loadout slots


Community requests

Removed centerprint texts for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode

Changed TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND capture reward from 30 kills to 1 capture

The last part is of particular interest to this forum, I think.

 

[Freyja]

They fixed the scout achievement too. And no more annoying overtime in KoTH.

 

[KarmaPolice]

And no more annoying overtime in KoTH.

They added a cvar to re-enable it, hilariously.

WHICH EVERY SERVER SHOULD DO.

 

[Nineaxis]

Valve = best company ever. Period.

 

[evanonline]

I hope every server sets overtime nag on. I love Valve for doing that.

 

[evanonline]

I got my medal, AND an otolaryngologist's mirror today! I'm happy.

Also pleased that they put in the option to leave OVAAAAHTIIIIIME in.

 

[Icarus]

Wow, they filled another request for mine in less than a day.

<3 Eric Smith

 

[Gerbil]

Valve just made my day with the overtime nag command.

 

[Jack Riguel]

Oh yea, i want my overtime nag.
