An update was issued to Team Fortress 2 servers and clients tonight.

Every time a bug gets really annoying, it gets crushed within a few days, so gj VALVe there, I suppose some of these bugs would also annoy us if we realised they were there.

Highlights include:

  • Engineers no longer score for traveling in their own teleporters (I actually saw someone that built entrance near exit, did nothing for a long time, and stopped only when he got 25 points.)
  • Various fixes for stats not saving (That one really annoyed lots of people)
  • Added nice freeze effect for the “jpeg” command

The full list of changes:

  • Improved paged pool memory tracking
  • Fixed crash on importing spray logo that claimed to be a valid jpeg file, but wasn’t
  • Fixed Medic’s uber-charge stats tracking
  • Fixed a bug in scoring Engineer building destruction
  • Engineers no longer earn points for using their own teleporters
  • Freezepanel hud improvements now trigger on usage of the “jpeg” command
  • Fixed Spies exploit enabling them to attack while disguising, without losing disguise
  • Fixed Spies being able to attach sappers through thin walls
  • Fixed several melee weapon switching exploits
  • Fixed exploit that allowed players to teleport with the intelligence
  • Fixed a client crash related to MP3 playing
  • Improved client handling of stats when a connection couldn’t be made to the stat servers. Fixes several cases of stat loss
