are below. The new version number is 4462894.

-



Matchmaking Changes

- The initial load time into a match no longer counts against a player's 
abandon timer

- Changed the timeout before a missing player is marked as having abandoned a 
competitive match to be three minutes from the first time a player disconnects 
from the server, rather than from the moment the match is formed

- Queue times should now be significantly faster when dealing with large 
numbers of placement and recently-placed players in queue

- Moved the Competitive MMR change notification so it no longer overlaps your 
rank

- Fixed continuing to receive the prompt to rejoin a match after you have been 
dropped from said match

- Fixed a case where players would receive a rank change in matches that 
dissolved due to abandon



General

off from the Thermal Thruster

- Added Gette it Onne! tournament medals

- Added TFCL tournament medals

- Fixed Medics having an accelerated Übercharge build-rate when healing 
full-health Snipers who are using The Razorback

- Fixed being able to capture control points during setup time

- Fixed the Golden Wrench not having an offset when using minimized viewmodels

- Fixed the Private Maggot Muncher hiding the Soldier's hat when equipped

- Fixed the Medic's auto-call feature not including enemy Spies disguised as 
the Medic's team
