Restart your Steam clients.

Quote:

Improved compatibility for direct sound

Deathcam screenshots now move the player id panel to the lower right, and hide other hud elements until the freezecam fades

Improved autobalance calculation code when determining who to switch

Improved networking compatibility for some routers

Fixed a crash during level init related to model loading

Fixed issues on Dustbowl and Hydro that could occur when a server emptied in the middle of a round

Fixed a bug in the clientside player avoidance code, and smoothed it a little more

Further crash fixes related to paged pool memory usage

Fixed scoreboard team scores label getting cut off

Engineer buildings now explode when the Engineer dies during sudden death

Fixed a spy backstab exploit where you could stab a player who was not facing away from you

Fixed flailing at the low end of the cloak meter when the player gets uncloaked automatically

Fixed texture detail level setting "Very high" not being preserved

Improved various error messages, and added links to steampowered support pages

Fixed scoring problem where destroying a buildable added a phantom point, not attributed to any scoring bucket but still included in total score

Fixed honeypot server problems

Fixed a rare crash caused by a medigun losing its owner

Fixed an exploit that allowed disconnected medics to continue ubercharging their target until they timed out

TeamMenu now disables the spectate button if mp_allowspectators is zero

Added a missing "cannot_be_spectator" localization string

Re-added class count numbers above class buttons for non-zero classes, in addition to the class images

Removed prefixes (tc_, ctf_, etc.) from map names in various places where they're printed

Fixed some edge cases where grenades could go through player or buildings

Fixed rocket/grenade explosions being able to impart damage through thin ceilings

The Engineer's "build X" commands will now behave properly when bound directly to keys

"Engineer buildings now explode when the Engineer dies during sudden death"
So, I'm trading my dispenser for their L3 turret? I guess that's fair. Sorta.

"Re-added class count numbers above class buttons for non-zero classes, in addition to the class images"
About bleedin' time.

Thank goodness. No killing all but 1 enemy to have to deal with 3-4 level 3 turrets waiting for you.

Was badly needed.

Don't know about the backstab exploit but frontal backstabs are still working.

They are? Wasn't that the whole point of the update?

Also any fixes to the Orange Box for us Boot Camp users? No steam overlay?

RedForman · 10-28-2007, 07:29 PM

I think you can "frontal backstab" if you began the stab in the 180 degree back radius, if they then turn around before the actual strike. I might have read that from someone else posting here so I'm not taking credit for that info, just putting it out there,

I heard they haven't fixed it in game so I'm not so sure it's fixed

RedForman · 10-29-2007, 11:11 AM

No, like Avs said you can still do it so I'm not sure what they fixed...

**Avs** · 10-30-2007, 02:02 AM

Well, its a good thing most people can't or don't attempt it.
