Source Engine & CS: Source Updates

[CSN NewsBot]

There's been a new update released tonight that addresses a number of bugs in CS: Source and the Source engine. In addition to all the bug fixes, this update adds SourceTV, presumably the Source version of the tried and true HLTV.

Counter-Strike: Source


• Enabled support for SourceTV
  
  
• Fixed a rare bug that caused some bullet impacts to be counted twice
  
  
• Improved map overview support
  
  
• The message of the day file is now required to be in the main game directory
  
  
• Fixed an issue with player names being out of sync with the server
  
  
• Fixed "purple checkerboard" problem for Message of the Day scrollbars

[break="rest of the changes"]

• Fixed some localization issues related to player chat
  
  
• Death notices are no longer displayed while blind
  
  
• Death notices retain the correct team color even if the player quickly changes teams
  
  
• Bots immediately change their names to match the bot_prefix when it changes
  
  
• Bots join dedicated servers immediately if the bot_quota is nonzero
  
  
• Fixed bug where bots would repeatedly fail to join with an invalid Steam ID
  
  
• Added mp_logdetail at the request of server administrators
  
  
  
  Source Engine
  
  
• Player sprays now persist through round restarts. The number of rounds a spray survives is determined by r_spray_lifetime
  
  
• Fixed a bug causing the first message from a plug-in message to be colored incorrectly
  
  
• Consistency checking is now skipped during demo playback
  
  
• Added sv_visiblemaxplayers
  
  
• Fixed timing precision error causing slower framerates on servers running continuously for more than a few days

Fixed a rare bug that caused some bullet impacts to be counted twice

Bug spanned over 30,000 players doesnt seem like it would be that rare...



And is it just me or is there a new servey?

[Bigun]

no i got a new survey too.



im guessing its so they can gauge the system requirements for their new 'uber level' the lost coast with all that fancy high dynamic range stuff....



on a side note my steam monitor listed tfc as updating too though it hasnt been updated in about 2 years....

Fixed "purple checkerboard" problem for Message of the Day scrollbars

Finally. I thought it was some textures that the server is missing.



edit: why can't I join anymore? It keeps kicking me out. Is anyone else suffering from this problem?
