We’ve just added two more pages of general information about Team Fortress 2 to the site.

They are:

- The Maps // A brief description of the objectives on each map.

- Achievements List // As the name suggests, a list of all achievements possible to be earned.

Another page giving basic details & description of the different classes available in-game is in the works.

More updates later.

Updates to Team Fortress 2 and the Source Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Source Engine

• Fixed a bug in networking that would cause long stalls (up to 10 seconds) when a split packet would not be reassembled properly, which forced a full update to all clients
• General optimization to tracelines
• Fix for broken .dem file playback
• Added backward compatibility code to allow demos recorded with protocol 12 to continue to be playable under protocol version 13
• When showing “WARNING: Connection Problem”, now indicate the number of seconds remaining before an auto-disconnect will occur
• Fixed a bug that would cause NULLNAME to be shown as the player’s name in the scoreboard for a short time

Team Fortress 2

• Fixed exploit where spectators could spawn into the world without actually joining a team

Hydro map changes

• Fixed an exploit that would allow players to jump out of the map

Granary map changes

• Cover changes to the first capture points of both teams. Reduces some of the sight lines for defenders, and should make the area easier to capture
• Teams that are holding more points will receive a greater spawn time bonus (spawn timer reduced for the winning team). This should help attacking teams build momentum
• Minor visual tweaks to the BLU side between capture points 2 and 3
• Clipped off a super high (demo pipe jump) perch in the middle area
• Increased base round timer to 10 minutes
• Added windows overlooking the final cap from the capture point 2 building (via new room next to conveyor route)
• Minor changes to lighting in the middle area
• Moved the middle spawn points farther forward (saves 6-7 seconds off a Heavy’s run from this spawn to enemy capture point 2)
• Reduced spawn advantage/penalty to a total of -/+ 6 seconds when on the final cap (from 10 seconds)
• Fixed material alignment and model interpenetration issues in home spawn rocket rooms

SourceTV

• Increased default bandwidth rate from 5 to 8 KB/sec for spectator clients
• Increased SourceTV demo buffer size for table class descriptions from 64 to 96KB. Team Fortress 2 was running over this
• Performance improvement for copying unreliable data buffers to SourceTV clients
• Updated the list of events in TF2 tagged for the director to play
