[-]August 21, 2009 – Team Fortress 2/Day of Defeat: Source Update released

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

Orange Box Engine

Fixed an exploit that allowed files to be uploaded to the server at arbitrary locations in the file system

Fixed a server crash caused by a client packet claiming to be an HLTV client when HLTV is disabled on the server

Fixed a server crash caused by spoofing a client disconnect message

Fixed a server crash caused by sending malformed reliable subchannel data

Fixed a server crash related to unbounded settings on some convars

Team Fortress 2

Bullet spread algorithm changed to fire a bullet right down the crosshair under these circumstances:

The first bullet of a spread weapon (except for rapid fire spread weapons like the minigun)

The first bullet of a non-spread weapon if it’s been >1.25 seconds since firing

Added a “Disable HTML MOTDs” option to the multiplayer->advanced dialog

Added “motdfile_text” convar to servers, which allows them to specify a text file that’s shown instead of the HTML MOTD to clients who’ve turned on this option

Fixed radius damage not tracing out of enemies when the explosion occurs within them

Fixes rockets & grenades doing no splash damage when fired point blank into enemies

Added missing snowpuff particles for DX8 players (honest)

Restored LOD for the Demoman player model

Fixed being able to alt-fire with the fists while stunned as a Heavy

Fixed CTF_Sawmill not ending the map when mp_timelimit hits during the middle of a round

Fixed the “The Big Hurt” achievement not being awarded for players who already have the required count

Fixed sv_pure not reloading the map’s custom particle file

Custom particle effects contained within maps must now be placed in the particles directory

Fixed another case where items weren’t being validated properly in class loadout slots

So the Grenade thing was a bug :/.I really thought that the “scout to the face” strategy was over.

The bullet spread change seems a decent one,but it is mostly another buff for scouts.

how about testing the spy’s old revolver?
