Just when you thought the coast was clear, another new update for Team Fortress 2 has been unleashed on the gaming public. This time around, it makes a bunch of fixes, and drags the game engine along for the ride, tidying up an annoying crash for Day of Defeat: Source.
Headlining this list of changes - there's now a 'discard' option on the item pickup panel; a backstab custom death animation for the Heavy; tweaks for the Dead Ringer, the Force-A-Nature, and Jarate; and a whole bunch of other bits and pieces that should improve your gaming experience. If you want to play a bit of cartoon shooter, you'll have to restart your Steam client before you can get amongst it!
