Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
- Updated more sound files to use .mp3 format instead of .wav It's great that you guys are optimizing games to use more efficient compressed formats (it would also be nice if all of the original sounds in wav still existed in a depot, somewhere). However there's still a huge regression in terms of Storage that Alfred said is totally fine. The gain between this and actually fixing the new content distribution system is far more significant. HL2:DM used to be a 17MB addition, now it's 100x larger at 1.7GB. I don't understand why this is being done, and the actual shared content between Valve games isn't being resolved? There's gigabytes of duplicated content. It's still, to this day, faster to download via Steam2 and do the full conversion then it is to download the games separately. It's also really easy to resolve this as well on Steam|. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/1069 Any idea? Kyle.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released
As an aside, the Ap-Sap Wheatley sapper bug (where if the files aren't found on the server and someone tries to use it the server lags) still needs a fix.
