Team Fortress 2 Update Released
August 16, 2016 - TF2 Team

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Competitive Mode
Players in the first tier of ranks (1-6) now lose substantially fewer rank points on match loss
Players with high win/loss ratios in recent matches now earn bonus rank points in order to accelerate their progress toward a more appropriate rank
Added report player context menu on scoreboard
Requires mouse input mode on the scoreboard (see Adv. Options)
Fixed a potential security issue (thanks to Justin G., aka sigsegv, and Linus S., aka PistonMiner, for this report)
Fixed an issue with The Righteous Bison and Pomson 5000 hit detection where projectiles were being removed when colliding with invisible entities
Fixed a display issue with combat text damage numbers against Engineer buildings sometimes being incorrect (such as with weapons that do reduced damage against buildings)
Removed the damage effects and pain sounds when using the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper
Updated PASS Time view model positions to support using FOV 70
Updated the animations for the Sharp Dresser to fix a clipping problem
Updated the localization files
Updated cp_sunshine to fix some clipping issues
Updated cp_metalworks
Adjusted the height of the ceiling in the room behind the second control point
Added some slight visual detail to various concrete rooms throughout (team color stripe)
Adjusted the height and width of various doors throughout the level. Mostly focused on primary paths into combat areas, with an eye towards standardizing door sizes where possible.
Fixed an angled playerclip brush above 2nd control point that players could surf on (thanks Photon)
Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point
Moved two tall spotlights back into a clipping brush at mid to avoid very small collision issue (thanks Bilbert)
Adjusted some clipping issues by turning rooftop brushes into displacements/func_brushes throughout the map and disabling collision (thanks Bilbert)
Clipped off some glass windows at 2nd
Added crate to cargo containers at mid, allowing scouts to get onto the highest cargo container
Added props to the clipping ramp around the final control point to indicate collision
Replaced brush fence on the platform in alley with a metal prop to solve an asymmetrical shadow bug (thanks Bilbert)

I would gladly say sense a comp. was put out on Team Fortress 2.
This group will be more live then dead in some time soon, hopefully really soon. What I mean by that is there will be event pop-ups for Causal and Comp. plays for Team members.

So here's the simply way to explain.

If you want to play with me and others in the group for fun I will send event pop-up to join group chat. This will be only for Causal I will send out a invite to join me. For comp. you must use the ∞G⊗₯_Tiεℛ∞ tag for team when playing.

Causal Chat Recommend:

Must be able for you to use:
- Group Chat in Steam Chat
- Personal Chat in Steam Chat with Me
- Mics Only Team Chats

Comp. Chat Recommend:

Must ONLY use Mic for Team Chat

Saturday Night Fun is a new thing that I will be starting with the permission of Eridan. Me and Eridan will find a fun and empty server that we can all hang out and chill on. Eridan will post the event/announcement with the server IP so that you guys can join us. If any of you are on our friends list feel free to pop right in before the announcement/event post. Hopefully we will get a full server every night to make the fun last for a while. Have a good rest of the week and prepare for Saturday Night Smash.

Stay Frosty
