A new set of Steamworks features have been released for all Half-Life 1 engine multiplayer games: Counter-Strike 1.6, Condition Zero, Team Fortress Classic, Deathmatch Classic, Ricochet, Day of Defeat and Half-life 1 Deathmatch. The update includes Steamworks features such as player avatars in the scoreboard when playing Counter-Strike and Condition Zero. The update also contains several bug fixes, listed below. Note that this update will require all game servers to restart.

• Fixed a crash on startup when running windowed with a non-standard desktop resolution
  
• Removed the display of saytext (in-game chat text) from players whom you've blocked in Steam friends
  
• Locked down several engine cvars to prevent malicious script exploits
  
• Enforced file consistency on several sprites in Counter-Strike
