TF2 and other Source engine games update for 7/20/12 (7/21/12 UTC) - Games

Wondering, I've been having problems with my taunts (Schadenfreude, High Five, Director's Vision). For example when I had the Director's Vision equipped, it'd play the Schadenfreude. Did that get fixed too? Or was I the only one with such problems?

I am all up for patches but why exactly is this 3 gigs? [IMG]http://puu.sh/Kq0P[/IMG] Yes, I know I have fucking terrible internet ;~;

Kept having the problem despite restarting the game and steam.

[QUOTE=TheEyes;36867671]EDIT: If you opt in and don't like it, toggle tf_quickplay_beta_preference.[/QUOTE] Haaah, you can "opt in" even without being selected by changing it to 1. Awesome. It also appears it's a random 10% of the TF2 community that was selected, judging by tf_quickplay_beta_ask_percentage [editline]21st July 2012[/editline] Actually, no, I just tweaked the variable to 100 and it gave me the "would you like to opt in" message after setting preference back to -1 (default). Perhaps there's a certain chance that you're allowed to use the beta when you start the game (/start for the first time after this update)?

press escape in the lobby and I get this in the console [quote]ESC Pressed in lobby. I heard you, it's just broken right now[/quote] wat?

Glad they fixed the missing water textures on DX 8. :) Was the all class hats glitch the thing where my hat would always look messed up on my head? If so, thank god that's fixed...

Does anyone know why it does this, or when they will fix this annoyance?

Ever since around Manniversary (I can't recall exactly when), instead of having 1 model that has unique positioning on each class, there are 9 models with their own rigging and etc. Something got botched along the way and sometime the wrong class' item will be used instead. For instance, I had a Spy wearing the Demoman's Pyrovision Goggles yesterday, I knew because of the distinct lack of a left lens.

it always uses the model of the first class you picked wearing the item until you join a new server.

I still crash. Worst. Update. Ever.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;36874445]It's most likely that Steam is redownloading corrupt files.[/QUOTE] I really hope it doesn't see my mods as corrupt files. They're mostly texture improvements and personal models.

The GCFs that have the actual TF2 content in them must've messed up, so you're probably redownloading files like 2fort or the gibus model. That's why I always keep backups of all my Steam games on a portable hard drive.

[QUOTE=Mariner;36880653]I still crash. Worst. Update. Ever.[/QUOTE] It doesn't crash when it leaves the server, it just hangs a bit instead of instantly leaving. Try giving it some time.

[QUOTE=Erfly;36881554]It doesn't crash when it leaves the server, it just hangs a bit instead of instantly leaving. Try giving it some time.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I occasionally hang as well. Would be nice to see a fix for it, but it's nothing game-breaking and I can wait for a bit.

[QUOTE=Erfly;36881554]It doesn't crash when it leaves the server, it just hangs a bit instead of instantly leaving. Try giving it some time.[/QUOTE] No, what your describing is what I've experienced normally prior to both updates. Now it just crashes after every map.

I wonder what kind of water fix they did for dx8 because i still see purple/black textures.
