Thanks for the update and thanks for the early heads up.
Appreciate timings never gonna be perfect for everyone but this is much
better for a good portion of EU, so from us to you thanks :)
If you could just enable the server download 30mins and hour before the
client releases so we can all be ready to "throw the switch" that would
be great :)
Regards
Steve

Subject: [hlds_announce] Team Fortress 2/Counter-Strike: Source and Day of
Defeat: Source Update Released
Required updates to TF2/CSS and DODS are up now. The specific changes include:
Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2)
- The mat_hdr_level, r_rootlod, and r_waterforceexpensive settings are now
saved in the user's config file.
- Fixed clients being able to connect to servers with spoofed SteamIDs.
- Fixed a bug where some video configurations could get reset by restarting the
engine.
- Fixed materials compiled into a map not being loaded correctly if they're in
the root materials folder.
- Fixed a case of uneven performance on multicore machines.
- Fixed point contents not respecting detail brushes. This fixes a bullet
penetration bug in some community maps.
- Fixed clients being able to spam servers using the
ai_set_move_height_epsilon, mission_show, and sv_querycache_stats commands.
- Audio fixes:
- Reduced overlap in the sound timing code.
- Fixed a case where audio could skip.
- Fixed voice communication getting corrupted while playing on a Mac.
- sv_pure 2 now protects the game_sounds files in the scripts directory.
Counter-Strike Source
- Fixed prediction errors that were causing greater weapon inaccuracy (bullet
spread) on client than server.
- Made the bomb the primary target of a +USE command. This fixes a problem with objects placed around the bombsite interrupting
defuse attempts.
- Fixed the 'skating' behavior that could occur when a bomb planting attempt was aborted. Also fixes the resulting out of sync
hit boxes.
- Fixed bug in which a player who crouched rapidly and repeatedly was seen as
stationery by other players.
- Fixed problem in which the sound of a reload that was occurring when a player was killed persisted into spectator mode, making
it sound like a reload was taking place near the spectated player.
- Gave chat interface priority over scoreboard to reduce conflict between the
two.
- Increased size of HUD icons.
- Fixed bug with env_hudhint that caused problems when its value was greater
than 255 characters.
- Made the message of the day screen dismissible by hitting ENTER.
- Fixed servers not being able to set sv_hudhint_sound.
- Gun sounds now match up with the framerate dependent sound timing, and fixed
the framerate dependent jittering bugs.
- Stats:
- Fixed an issue that could cause loss of player stats if network connectivity was lost briefly, just after launching the
game.
- Fixed an issue that caused the favorite weapon to display incorrectly on the stats summary page when a player achieves the
most kills with a knife or grenade.
- Made newly-earned achievements and stats immediately update in the achievements and stats panels instead of showing stale
data.
- Improved the font on the achievement toast.
- Community Requests:
- Added cvar sv_enablebunnyhopping, defaulted to 0. ( A value of 1 autotags the server
with "bunnyhop" )
- De_dust and De_dust2 updated.
- Fixed several exploits.
- Fixed collisions on crenellation and domes.
- Fixed minor visual glitches.
- Adjusted HDR settings.
- Removed dust clouds.
- Added console variable cl_hudhint_sound.
Team Fortress 2
- Added server ConVar "sv_max_usercmd_future_ticks" which prevents clients from
running usercmds too far in the future.
- Added missing Mac intro movie for cp_coldfront.
- Fixed "Hit '%disguiseteam%' to Toggle Team" string and code so they're not
hard coded to 'e' and '-'.
- Fixed servers trying to validate backpack positions in inventories.
- Fixed clients validating inventories other than their own.
- Fixed item selection HUD elements showing un-acknowledged items, which
resulted in items in invalid backpack positions.
- Fixed players not always getting "recent damager" credit for player suicides.
- Fixed the weapon selection menu not displaying properly when using
hud_fastswitch and lastinv at the same time.
- Updated Engineer startup music.
- Updated localization files.
- Updated Pl_ThunderMountain
- Clipped off sticky outcrops for smoother movement
- Clipped various exploit ledges
- Increased environment ambient exterior light level
- Stage 1
- Fixed hole in respawn room brushes in RED spawn
- Shifted respawn times to favor BLU by two seconds
- Stage 3
- Clipped rocks off by BLU's spawn exit that leads to building B (allowed
Snipers to snipe the entire area)
- Removed embedded displacement (building B interior roof)
- Removed rogue clip brush from building A balcony
- Updated Plr_Hightower
- Fixed players building in the RED spawn room.
- Fixed players building on the back window decks of the barns.
- Fixed players getting on the satellite dish platform.
- Fixed players building on the elevators.
- Reduced the ammo packs in the barns down to small ammo packs.
- Increased the hill speed modifier to 1.2 (up from .95)
- Fixed explosion particle effects playing in the skybox.
- Mine cart "window" collision fixed.
- Upped Scout-loop health to large.
- Updated Pl_Upward
- Fixed respawnroom entities not reaching the floor of split-level spawns
- Fixed griefable fence facing BLU spawn near RED base
- Added BLU high flanking route at RED base
- Added health & ammo along BLU flanking route at RED base
- Sealed BLU base left exit with block bullets brushes
- Extended clip between C and BLU spawn to prevent sticky jump spawn camping
- Fixed non-clipped non-solid railing in RED base
- Fixed kill brush in middle spawn not extending to the ceiling
- Put a block bullets brush on grate below middle spawn
