Jason, Thanks so much for the update. Will you good folks over at Valve ever give advanced notice of these updates to us? CSS is now just like TF2 with regular updates and no warning at all to Admins that they are coming. We all knew this was coming when the game was ported over to the new engine.
I was at work and came home to find a ton of messages from players and saw my servers were empty for the past 3 hrs because people couldn't connect until I updated them. It just doesn't seem like it would be that hard to post a 24-hour notice on this list that updates are coming so the hundreds of Admins, Sysdevs, coders and GSPs can be prepared to deal with the fallout or run the updatetool when the time comes. Add to the fact that now we've been waiting for 40 minutes for updates from overwhelmed Steam content servers on the west coast of the US, the whole regular update thing is getting old. Now I see we have to update yet again! I sure hope the updating slows down soon or we can get some advanced notice. It sure would help those of us who care for our servers. Regardless, thanks for the good work on the game. It's much appreciated. M.

The specific changes include: - Added Steam Clan Tag support ( Set yours in Options->Multiplayer->Advanced ) - Added new achievement "CLAN WARFARE": Win a match of at least 10 players where the entirety of each team is composed of a single clan. - All weapon fire rates now tuned to match their pre-update, tickrate 100 equivalents. (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1368659) - Added automatic server tagging for some server convars ( "mp_startmoney", "mp_friendlyfire", "bot_quota", "sv_nostats", "sv_allowminmodels" ) - Fixed some issues for players who were experiencing stat corruption. - Fixed several server crash exploits. - Fixed server commands "sv_disablefreezecam" and "sv_nowinpanel" not working on dedicated servers. - Adjusted some DX9 shaders to look more like their DX8 counterparts, e.g. flashbang effect. - Community Requests: - Fixed entity I/O messages "OnPlayerPickup" and "OnPlayerUse". - Restored UTF-8 support in the console. - Added env_hudhint entity, for use in custom maps (The allplayers flag must be set for the hint to work in Counter-Strike.) - Added client convar "sv_hudhint_sound" to turn off emit sound for hud hints. - Restored the "cl_minmodels" client convar. - Added server convar "sv_allowminmodels" that allows them to prevent clients from using "cl_minmodels". - Added a button to Options->Multiplayer that allows players to reset their in-game stats. - Note: Due to the nature of stats corruption, it is not possible to automatically fix all types of stats (such as weapon statistics reflecting usage of the wrong weapon). Players who suspect their stats are incorrect and wish to start fresh may want to use the new stat reset feature.
