Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

Interested to see how they'll implement the weapon cases now most of the early adopters would have completed their contracts for the week.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48117243]Another update coming: We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. We should have it ready soon. -Eric[/QUOTE] Oh good! Maybe its a bug fix + crates! Im still fine with just bug fixes, because eric said the crates would be next week

[QUOTE=Damoman;48117252]Interested to see how they'll implement the weapon cases now most of the early adopters would have completed their contracts for the week.[/QUOTE] We have at least 11 weeks to go, maybe one or two more depending on how much Valve lets the deadline slip. I don't think that's a huge hit in the long run.

It's out, size is ~10 MB: [url]https://steamdb.info/app/440/history/[/url] This is the record latest an update has been for the game.

Notes?

Man, I wan an unusual stat track shotgun for my engineer once they start dropping, but I know its going to cost $300. Maybe isotope, with a killstreak effect on it, too. Can the new weapons have killstreak effects added?

Hope they put the cases in

Watch it be nothing

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48117300]Hope they put the cases in[/QUOTE] Yeah, I wanna see how ludicrous the prices on the unusuals are before I decide on getting one.

Aaaaaaand still no cases

All of your old weapons fall off when you go to a resupply and get a new loadout. And everyone can pick them up and play with them. I cannot actually get this to happen again. Huh. It happened right as the loadout server came back and everyone went to resupply and their old items fell out of them and they got their loadouts back.

Oh good, they didn't fix sticky launchers spawning 40HP damage crit grenades after a 2-3s period on some servers running Walkway! Back to having ceiling stickies create a waterfall of explosives.

Noooooo, the shortstop now reloads slowly again :(

ooo how nice, moving anything in my backpack causes me to crash now!

do the cases drop now?

[QUOTE=111112oo;48117240]We just need confirmation if the community maps are going to stay in the game, I have a bad feeling about it seeing that their assets aren't in the game.[/QUOTE] Well I emailed Eric about it yesterday but he never responded, I guess letting the community know the status of the maps isn't nearly as important as the status of the crates.

jesus jones they better fix that backpack crash or i'm going to be livid; I was just in the middle of organizing my backpack

As a software engineer, releasing a patch extremely late on a Friday before a holiday is pretty crazy to me.

"Items that are temporarily un-tradable can now properly be listed on the market" guys look

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;48117421]As a software engineer, releasing a patch extremely late on a Friday before a holiday is pretty crazy to me.[/QUOTE] When they're dedicated they're dedicated, when they're not its 3 months of the previous loch n load

[QUOTE=Blackavar;48117443]"Items that are temporarily un-tradable can now properly be listed on the market" guys look[/QUOTE] i bought a 2nd campaign pass hoping to restart and get more contracts, but i couldnt delete my coin. luckily due to this update i just sold it on the market for $6.00, so i made $1.00. neat

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48117317]- Fixed newly created items not becoming Strange quality, despite receiving the ability to track kills.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;48117387]Well I emailed Eric about it yesterday but he never responded, I guess letting the community know the status of the maps isn't nearly as important as the status of the crates.[/QUOTE] Frozen has emailed DRILLER who has been pretty good at answering questions. Expecting response on Monday. [QUOTE]- Dropped weapons now retain their ammo and ÜberCharge levels unless the player commits suicide[/QUOTE] For the love of god if you see a medic dropping their uber TELL YOURS WHERE IT WAS DROPPED. This is amazing. Best change to the game since launch.

So much for the 500th update, guys

Who here happens to be on Windows and crashing? Because I'm not.

The server I regularly go to started crashing only AFTER this update released
