Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37751344]We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. We should have it ready soon. -Eric[/QUOTE] Come on. random workshop item !

This is early.

Friday updates should be early in case they need to hotfix [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] at my place it's actually policy that we never release a new build after noon on Thursday because of that

Didn't f00l push a hotfix at 10:30 pm est once?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37746999]also L4D2 will be getting workshop submissions for weapons, scripts, maps and mutations so I guess more new weapons for L4D2! (which it's needed for a long time). also also I'm emailing them today about one of the oldest animation bugs in the entire game, one that actually causes a lot of problems. The Dead Ringer Cloak meter.[/QUOTE] Is it wrong that I still want L4D to be updated because I think it's better than L4D2? [sp]No, I wasn't one of those L4D2 Boycotters either[/sp]

I'll be happy if they fix the eureka effect's kill icon and the damage resistance on the shields (or announce that it's gone forever, I suppose).

An infinite all-class hat bug fix would be appreciated

Shouldn't be too much longer now.

Just got the update, no changelog up yet though, can someone around here with HLDS stuff (or whatever we get that describe the update) post the changelog?

I smell new items...?

Hmm. That's pretty big. Guessing this one isn't just bug fixes.

I still have my Fall Crates oddly enough despite the update

They unlocked sandvich box and companion square box!!

[QUOTE=Barobax;37751914]I still have my Fall Crates oddly enough despite the update[/QUOTE] It requires a Schema update to remove them. I don't think it's updated at all, yet. Keep an eye on the tracker.

UPDATE! Wait that's just blood

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37751949]Schema is down though. [editline]21st September 2012[/editline][/QUOTE] bugfixes ;_;

Bug fixes are always welcome.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;37751125]Then they wouldn't be special.[/QUOTE] Need I remind you of a certain vibrating holiday tree?

"Added new promo items" Just expect that. For EVERY SINGLE UPDATE EVER.

So, when it says they are, "unlocked," does that mean we know what's inside?

[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;37752025]So, when it says they are, "unlocked," does that mean we know what's inside?[/QUOTE] 99% sure, yeah.

[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;37752025]So, when it says they are, "unlocked," does that mean we know what's inside?[/QUOTE] Guaranteed.
