Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Product Update - Valve

Feb 14, 2017

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:

Improved Steam Voice support for servers that have enabled it
- Removed sv_use_steam_voice convar. Steam voice is now selected via "sv_voicecodec steam"
- Fixed demos not properly recording Steam Voice status, resulting in potential corrupt voice in demos with differing default settings
- Will now use the native Steam Voice sampling rate, instead of clamping to 11kHz
- Improved compatibility with Steam client beta
Fixed OS X voice communication sounding high-pitched when using the default CELT voice codec
Fixed an animation bug that would cause the client and server hitboxes to become out of sync
Fixed the Scout not playing the correct animation when using the Shortstop's Alt-Fire to shove someone
Fixed some missing VO sounds for the Scout when he picks up a baseball
Fixed Spectators seeing the fake death notices for the Spy when he feigns death

Fixed a case where Casual servers would spontaneously terminate with "Server shutting down" upon losing connection with the matchmaking service
Updated the logic used to pick the maps players can vote on in the end-of-match map vote on Casual servers to help maintain healthier game mode representation across regions
- Casual servers were often rotating to unrelated game modes during votes, resulting in partially filled servers in certain regions

Updated the model/materials for The Snowmann to fix some LOD issues
Updated the localization files
Added Gift Wrap back to the Mann Co. Store at a reduced price
