Update to the Source Engine BETA

[CSN NewsBot]

For those currently testing out the Source Engine BETA, a new update was released tonight that addresses a number of reported issues. Restart your Steam client with the appropriate command line to receive the update to the BETA.



Also, there is now a BETA in progress for the Source Dedicated Server. This is for both Windows and Linux servers and can be activated by adding the "-beta engine" command line to hldsupdatetool. This dedicated server BETA will only run for a couple of days according to Valve's Alfred Reynolds.

I'm gonna participate in this just for the bug-fixes. I think this is a cool idea I suppose.

Aztec walls were fixed, but I now crash to desktop randomly when trying to access the game menu while in game. Alfred already has two of my 5 MDMP files from just last night after this update.
