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 team switches on Attack/Defense maps spamming the console

Fixed the Kritzkrieg not working on servers with crits turned off

Fixed some clipped localized strings in various in-game dialogs

Fixed several cases where files were synchronously loaded while the game was running

Fixed a shutdown crash in the material system

Cached rendering of item model panels to improve performance, in particular while weapon selection was visible

Added a gear symbol behind the health bar for Engineer buildings, in both target IDs and freeze panels

Players killing themselves will now give a kill credit to the last enemy who damaged them

Fixed grenades, rockets, and flamethrower being able to fire through grates at round starts

Fixed players being killed and creating ragdolls during team switches

Fixed various exploits and performance problems in CP_Badlands, CP_Well, and CP_Fastlane

Removed health bonus from the Backburner < now the pyro will lose some of its overpoweredness. GOOD!!

only the cry babies on skill-less instant respawn servers had any trouble killing the pyro with +50 health. Now there is no reason to pick the BB over the AB.

Damn, there goes me denying a kill when I'm on fire and too far from health.

Not true the complaint comes from regular and insta spawn players. I never had a problem against the pyro, very easy to shred them with mini gun or hit there feet with rockets sending them to there death with the second rocket.

At least now I don't have to look at the weapon to determine if it takes 2 rockets or 3. Back Burner did take 3 rockets to kill, right?

compression blast is a lot better than just 100% crits from behind

This still happens actually. I watched some dude get burned during setup time. Regardless, if you're dumb enough to stand at the gate with an enemy on the other side, you have no right to complain.

Pyro is still good after the update...

Managed to kill 6 grouped blues pushing the cart who weren't watching their backs.

Yet they are the ones to complain, as if they are just asking something to bitch about. I never understood the problem at firing through a chain link fence anyways. Whats the big deal? You catch fire go heal yourself.:psyduck:

What if compressed air burner didn't crit? There'd be more incentive to use the BB.

Just a random thought.

The regular flamethrower already has one of the lowest crit rates in the game.
