For dedicated servers, this update is optional, but highly recommended.

• Greatly improved Assault class's thermal vision interaction with Weapon Suppression gizmo on Assault Rifle.
  
• Fixed structure damage being miscalculated when structure is attacked by another structure or at times with grenades/missles/REDs.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning after a round is over
  
• Fixed bots being counted in total players required for a surrender or mutiny vote to pass.
  
• Fixed a few rare client and server crashes.
  
• Decreased memory usage in some areas on both client and server.
  
• Switched MOTD panel to use Steam's HTML rendering rather than directly embedding Chromium, effectively updating it to a much newer and more secure version of the same. (This also fixes some crashes that would occur on Mac and Linux).
  
• Added numerous security-related fixes from other variants of the Source engine.
