Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2)

• Fixed a crash on startup with some video drivers
• Fixed a bug where the speaker config would be lost on Windows Vista / 7
• Fixed a case where alt-tab would stop rendering models
• Made the ‘X’ that closes the achievements screen visible by default in 1280x720 resolution
• Made disconnect messages wrap so they don’t get truncated
• Made kick / disconnect messages more legible

Counter-Strike: Source

• Fixed a memory leak in the dedicated server
• Fixed a problem that could cause the crosshair to expand briefly after the trigger is released
• Made crosshair scale independently of framerate, matching the old behavior at 100 fps. This does not affect actual recoil, fire rate, or spread – only the expansion of the crosshair. Added cl_legacy_crosshair, which defaults to the new behavior
• Made the crosshair for the Glock and Famas scale correctly upon firing in burst mode
• Removed ability to jump to inaccessible locations using grenades (flashboosting). Added sv_enableboost (defaulted to 0) for those who prefer to allow this behavior
• Fixed an issue with involving incorrect armor protection vs. grenade damage. Added sv_legacy_grenade_damage (defaulted to 0) to allow servers to revert to the original behavior
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the freezecam sound to be heard when spectating a player who dies
• Fixed an issue that could cause KeyHintText to generate junk characters
• Prevented ragdoll spasm that could occur when using the jointeam command
• Addressed a problem with the sniper rifles that prevented unzooming during auto-reload after shooting all the bullets in a clip
• Fixed an issue with the AWP and Scout that could cause their zooms to vibrate briefly after a reload
• Fixed map cycling so that the cycle now starts from the map selected by the user instead of going back to the first map
• Fixed mp_restartgame so that it resets MVPs as well as score and deaths
• Removed fun fact from achievements summary screen and associated playerblotter functionality
• Throttled warning messages for disabled achievements to no more than once every 60 seconds
• Made the silhouette that appears when you hit AUTO-SELECT on the Terrorist choose a class screen fit within its borders
• Fixed lock radar rotation option in the GUI. Setting this option now works
• Fixed a potential crash with custom huds
• Fixed a bug in walk prediction

Team Fortress 2
