Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Product Update - Valve

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:

Competitive Mode
- Players in the first tier of ranks (1-6) now lose substantially fewer rank points on match loss
- Players with high win/loss ratios in recent matches now earn bonus rank points in order to accelerate their progress toward a more appropriate rank
Added report player context menu on scoreboard
- Requires mouse input mode on the scoreboard (see Adv. Options)
Fixed a potential security issue (thanks to Justin G., aka sigsegv, and Linus S., aka PistonMiner, for this report)
Fixed an issue with The Righteous Bison and Pomson 5000 hit detection where projectiles were being removed when colliding with invisible entities
Fixed a display issue with combat text damage numbers against Engineer buildings sometimes being incorrect (such as with weapons that do reduced damage against buildings)
Removed the damage effects and pain sounds when using the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper
Updated PASS Time view model positions to support using FOV 70
Updated the animations for the Sharp Dresser to fix a clipping problem
Updated the localization files
Updated cp_sunshine to fix some clipping issues
Updated cp_metalworks
- Adjusted the height of the ceiling in the room behind the second control point
- Added some slight visual detail to various concrete rooms throughout (team color stripe)
- Adjusted the height and width of various doors throughout the level. Mostly focused on primary paths into combat areas, with an eye towards standardizing door sizes where possible.
- Fixed an angled playerclip brush above 2nd control point that players could surf on (thanks Photon)
- Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point
- Moved two tall spotlights back into a clipping brush at mid to avoid very small collision issue (thanks Bilbert)
- Adjusted some clipping issues by turning rooftop brushes into displacements/func_brushes throughout the map and disabling collision (thanks Bilbert)
- Clipped off some glass windows at 2nd
- Added crate to cargo containers at mid, allowing scouts to get onto the highest cargo container
- Added props to the clipping ramp around the final control point to indicate collision
- Replaced brush fence on the platform in alley with a metal prop to solve an asymmetrical shadow bug (thanks Bilbert)

Steam Client Update Released

Client Update - Valve

A new Steam client has been released and is being automatically downloaded. Changes since the last major release include the following:

Mac OS X / macOS

The Steam application has been reworked for better compatibility with macOS Sierra. This may result in an older copy of the Steam application being placed in your Trash. It is safe to delete the older copy by emptying the trash.

Linux

Fixed handling of clickable URLs in chat text for the desktop Steam client

General

Fixed a crash when games passed certain parameters to the Steamworks API
Added button to clear local cache under download settings. This may fix downloads by removing stale or corrupt cached data.
Added UI text to indicate if a selected title is excluded from Family Sharing
Worked around a problem where a recent Windows 10 update could cause Xbox One controllers to send duplicate input
Fixed cases where playing a free game could trigger Family Sharing error messages

In-Home Streaming

Added support for spectating VR games from the Steam Link, mirroring the VR player's viewpoint

Steam Controller

Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.
Added Gyro Button Behavior setting. Allows for the Gyro Enable Button to be flipped to be a Gyro Disable Button, so gyro is disabled while the specified button is held, but otherwise on all the time.
Fixed broken configurations where modes could be attached to sources that don’t support them which caused errors in both the UI and in behavior.
Fixed issues with Double Press activator not working in certain games.
Fixed Interruptible activators not interrupting in a few specific scenarios.
Fixed haptic location not always being updated properly with activators.
Changed new full press activators to use the mode's current haptic setting as a default setting on the new activator.
Fixed activator-based haptics on specfic switch buttons to be correct based on physical position on the controller.
Fixed a bug when turning off legacy mode while editing Triggers.
Fixed incorrect modes being created when a developer is creating a new native configuration.
Fixed configurator option not showing up if game was VR capable and had VR controller support but also had non-VR and normal controller support.
Fixed adding action sets to fully legacy configs in games that have native configs. Now legacy action set configs and native configs won't stomp each other.
Fixed mode-shifted mouse regions flipping their initial Y position if "teleport on start" was set that was introduced with recent set cursor position additions.
Cleaned up the Choose Binding panel to improve legibility.
Added icons for Controller Actions such as Change Action Set, Take Screenshot, Move Cursor, and Show On Screen Keyboard.
Fixed the backslash character '\' not showing up on keyboard layouts.
Added RB/LB buttons to change current action set when editing a configuration.
Fixed gamepad binding highlights being offset in certain overlay resolutions
Fixed issues that prevented Streaming gyro from functioning properly.
