We've released client updates for TF2 and DoD:S. The notes for the updates are
below. This update does not affect dedicated servers.

- Fixed regression causing game to not start on older Intel graphics cards
under Linux
With Valve's new policy that says people can no longer idle on a server to
gain items, does this mean that all idle servers are gonna go down in
traffic?

Have you reviewed http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=11105 ? It
looks like the only change is they don't want you using TextMode, the
rest of the stipulations aren't new and were brought forth when Tony
Paloma's idler was nuked. If I'm reading it correctly, you can still
idle, just make sure
The change is that you have to confirm each drop manually - an idle server
won't fully solve the problem, as you'll still need to come back every half
hour-hour to hit okay and resume it. At that point, you really are better
off just playing the game instead of trying to game the system.
I'm pretty sure someone will write a plugin that will execute command
for that panel and run it with their server. That way players could get
item drops. That sounds shady and propably would go against Valve ruling
so i wouldn't recommend it. This cannot be done with map alone.

Will I be VAC banned for not actively playing the game, also known as
‘idling’?
• No, you will not be banned for just idling. You may be banned if you
use external programs to circumvent idle detection. See VAC FAQ.
So yeah, don't do that.

Short of utilizing some sort of exploit, none of the relevant commands can
be executed on clients by the server.
Hell, I don't even think the client can use his own client console to get
rid of the Item Acquired screen. There doesn't seem to be any command
that can trigger the OK, Resume Game

We could go back n forth til the end of time on how Valve will detect
use of the above, and idlers will adapt. You'll never be able to 100%
stop anyone determined enough.
