  • TF2 will not run if a bad items_game.txt file is found
  • If your items_game.txt file is reported as being corrupt, delete any items_game.txt files you have added and verify your TF2 installation
• Fixed a timing problem with the Rancho Relaxo taunt animation
• Removed the Limited Late Summer Crate from the crate drop list

• Limited Late Summer Crate Keys have been converted to Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys
• Fixed Linux dedicated servers not showing up in the LAN serverbrowser tab when using sv_lan 1
• Fixed the Duels leaderboard not displaying current counts
• Added the explosion particles to the list of files that we always enforce consistency on
• Added ConVar tf_classlimit
  • When set, limit each class to the specified value
  • Works in any game mode, but overridden in Tournament mode and Highlander mode
• Updated the model/materials for the Runner's Warm-Up to fix a lighting issue
• Updated the equip_regions for the Couvre Corner and the Pocket Heavy
• Updated rd_asteroid
  • Continued art-pass process
• Updated the vote system
  • Fixed team-specific vote sounds/notifications playing/showing for the ineligible team
  • sv_vote_issue_restart_game_allowed default changed to off
  • Added sv_vote_issue_restart_game_allowed_mvm (on by default)
  • Added "Enable/Disable Class Limits" vote
    • Controlled by sv_vote_issue_classlimits_allowed (off by default)
      • Limit controlled by sv_vote_issue_classlimits_max (default 4)
    • Controlled by sv_vote_issue_classlimits_allowed_mvm in Mann vs. Machine (off by default)
      • Limit controlled by sv_vote_issue_classlimits_max_mvm in Mann vs. Machine (default 2)

making the game not run with invalid items_game.txt will stop the ability to remove all cosmetic equip regions making some good looking combos or stacking unusuals ontop of eachother

edit: Something large was left out of the update log and this is that all valve servers no run sv_pure 1, only allowing hit sounds and sprays, this may seem little but this is large in mvm as mods like seeing money through walls dont work anymore and couts job got alot harder

RIP Summer Crates.

new hats?

 

[Meowrisa]

So the equip glitch is fixed?

• Fixed a timing problem with the Rancho Relaxo taunt animation

I'm cautiously optimistic about class limits. As long as a potato can't clog up a slot until they switch classes, it can be a good thing.

This may be problematic on 24/7 servers that never have a map restart, of course.

yes sadly, I had some good combos I was going to try out aswell

 

[Meowcenary]

I think this also no longer allows you to bypass the color filter for decals as it required a modified items.txt file

RIP

I'm suprised nobody tried using the "elevate quality" attribute to alter the qualities of any of their existing items (the attributes of the various developer's bundles gave that away)

Just found out that all valve servers have sv_pure set to 1, only allowing hitsounds and sprays, this will have a big effect to mvm players who play with mods like see money through walls mod so prepare to miss credits more if you play scout on mvm

 

[NoMoreDie]

arr, another update goes...

Or you could just... not suck dick at scout?
