Nun endlich ist der angekündigte größere Steampatch erschienen.
Neben der neuen TF2 Map cp_badlands beinhaltet der Patch Änderungen an diversen existierenden TF2 Maps, der Source Engine selbst und SourceTV.
Die komplette Changelist hier:
Source Engine
- Refactored how lightmaps are downloaded to the graphics card at level load. On some hardware configurations this can lower level load times significantly
- Optimized some particle systems to improve performance on some hardware configurations
- Player stats are now sent up as they change, rather than when the player dies
- Improved playback of sub-frame sounds
- Fixed a crash caused by alt-tabs during map load
- Eliminated unnecessary temporary memory allocation in scenefilecache
Team Fortress 2
- Badlands released
- Changes to Dustbowl
- Added a new access point to the stage2 attacker gates (drop-down left from spawn), allowing attackers a way to reach the left route without being subjected to the spam and sentry gun fire
- Fixed a gap in stage 3, cap 1 that allowed a player with to wiggle above the „ceiling“ clip
- Fixed a gap behind stage 1, cap 1 house

- Changes to Capture the Flag Well

- Fixed several model perch exploits (red, blue cp1 gate and blue cp2 gate pipe)
- Fixed a few places where players could get stuck between containers and silos
- Adjusted playerclips on red container that made it appear like players were floating
- Added a small delay (200 ms) before a zoomed sniper shot can get a critical hit
- Added server side convar mp_fadetoblack. Same functionality as Counter-Strike, used mainly during in-person tournaments and LAN events

- Added server log entry for buildings destroyed by their owner
- Fixed sentry gun shadows being clipped
- Updated glass material
SourceTV
