Powerlord Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This just hit: An optional update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. The specific changes include: - Ended the Halloween sale/event - Fixed a client crash in the replay editor - Fixed a client crash in the fullscreen store preview - Updated the localization files Since it's optional, and seems to have no server-side components, I'm not bothering to update servers, SourceMod 1.4.0 has a bug that prevents my Force Holidays plugin from running correctly, so it's not yet installed. Otherwise, when it is working (in SourceMod 1.4.1), I'll likely turn on full moon mode, which enables just the Halloween costumes. Edit: If you see me hopping on and off servers tonight, it's because I'm testing BuiltinVotes changes dealing with Yes/No votes... and eventually testing L4D2 support (can't test L4D, not installed).

Cinderwild Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What bothers you more, the firs Spy's ignorance or the honor among thieves? Oh shi- do you think the second Spy thought he was a friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What bothers you more, the firs Spy's ignorance or the honor among thieves?Oh shi- do you think the second Spy thought he was a friend? I think it was a combination of the first Spy having the situational awareness of a brick and the second Spy not doing anything. I honestly think he was trying to backstab with the Sapper. (Also he was completely undisguised, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Good thing the BuiltinVotes plugin is working correctly. FTP to OCR BLU is currently messed up and I can't connect, let alone do any uploads/downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Valve would stop overwriting the text motd every fricking update, the text one would be up to date, too.

Aeronaut Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, looks like we finally know what happened to the Steam forums: November 10th, 2011 Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users: Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums. We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating. We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely. While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well. We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password. We will reopen the forums as soon as we can. I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Woah...what the hell? Hadn't heard anything about that until now. Don't script kiddies have something better to do with their time, like fap to tentacle porn? And either I'm just logging in at the wrong times, or the servers have been unusually empty for the past week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 This happened several hours ago, but I wasn't around: We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.Thanks. -Eric ---------------------------------------- Source Engine Changes (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM) - Added rate limiting for connections and added the following ConVars to support that: - sv_max_connects_sec - sv_max_connects_window - sv_max_connects_sec_global Team Fortress 2 - Added a full moon background for the main menu - Added new promo items - Fixed a Linux dedicated server crash when using +randommap on the command line - Fixed some bugs with the way items appear in the Steam Community and Steam Trading - Optimized several materials to improvement performance - Updated the localization files BLU has vanished off the face of the planet, I'm trying to find out what happened with it. RED should have auto-updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hmm, are those rate limits client-side? That might solve the issue my crappy modem has when the server browser opens, where all the incoming connections overfill its memory and nuke my connection. And looks like the new promo items are for Saints Row: The Third. There's a luchador mask and new gloves for the Heavy, and a badge for all classes. The gloves look like they act the same as normal Fists, except they make someone explode if you kill them with a critical hit. Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wouldn't mind a Fallen Angel and Steel-Toed Stompers, if no one else wants those. I grabbed a decent load of parts I didn't have for about a scrap each last week, so I'm trying to work my way through the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Could I trouble you for the Hair of the Dog, Lyrai? Account-name 'midanya', if you're up to it. Anything in return, perchance? Coordinated malicious internet behaviour is just getting more prevalent lately. If only the web's design had been planned more thoroughly, and with a little more security in mind, maybe we wouldn't have pigeon-holed ourselves into such an insecure platform. But I digress.
