Heute Nacht erschien wieder ein neues update für css!
Hier der Chancelog:

Counter-Strike: Source

• Added Steam Clan Tag support ( Set yours in Options->Multiplayer->Advanced )
• Added new achievement "CLAN WARFARE": Win a match of at least 10 players where the entirety of each team is composed of a single clan.
• All weapon fire rates now tuned to match their pre-update, tickrate 100 equivalents. (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1368659)
• Added automatic server tagging for some server convars ( "mp_startmoney", "mp_friendlyfire", "bot_quota", "sv_nostats", "sv_allowminmodels" )
• Fixed some issues for players who were experiencing stat corruption.
• Fixed several server crash exploits.
• Fixed server commands "sv_disablefreezecam" and "sv_nowinpanel" not working on dedicated servers.
• Adjusted some DX9 shaders to look more like their DX8 counterparts, e.g. flashbang effect.
• Community Requests:
  
  • Fixed entity I/O messages "OnPlayerPickup" and "OnPlayerUse".
  • Restored UTF-8 support in the console.
  • Added env_hudhint entity, for use in custom maps (The allplayers flag must be set for the hint to work in Counter-Strike.)
  • Added client convar "sv_hudhint_sound" to turn off emit sound for hud hints.
  • Restored the "cl_minmodels" client convar.
  • Added server convar "sv_allowminmodels" that allows them to prevent clients from using "cl_minmodels".
  • Added a button to Options->Multiplayer that allows players to reset their in-game stats.
    
    • Note: Due to the nature of stats corruption, it is not possible to automatically fix all types of stats (such as weapon statistics reflecting usage of the wrong weapon). Players who suspect their stats are incorrect and wish to start fresh may want to use the new stat reset feature

Heute erschien wieder einmal ein neues Update!

Hier der Chancelog:

Counter-Strike: Source

• Fixed a crash that could occur after the bomb exploded.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when attempting to exit the game.
• Changed default values of the following server variables to reflect the increase of the default tick rate from 33 to 66:
  
  • sv_mincmdrate - 10
  • sv_maxcmdrate - 66
  • sv_maxupdaterate - 66
• Marked ‘developer’ cvar as cheat.
• Corrected kill/death reporting in gun games. Deaths were not being properly counted in games using instant respawn.

• Added sv_nowinpanel and cl_nowinpanel options that can be used to disable the win panel that displays the team winner, MVP, and fun fact at the end of a round.
• Clamped ladder dampen values.
• Fixed jointeam cvar so giving it invalid values no longer spams the server console.
• Removed functionality of cl_minmodels.
• Fixed voice indicators to display at all times rather than just after their respective players have come into contact when -alltalk is on.
• Fixed scoreboard to display correct number of SourceTV viewers.
• Adjusted death notices to display under scoreboard.

• Fixed an issue that could make it appear as if a player already had one or more MVP stars upon joining a server.
• Made text on loading bar more legible.
• Added more materials that were missing for community maps.

Engine

• Fixed disconnect exploit causing players to be forced off of a server due to an overflowed packet.
• Fixed players being able to start the game using a DirectX level less than DirectX8.

Windows Dedicated Server

• Added Counter-Strike: Source to the list of games for the dedicated server when running through the Steam client.

An update on the Update
The reason for the recent update was to move Counter-Strike Source (CSS) from the older HL2 version of the Source engine to the most recent version. This brings the CSS codebase in-line with our other games. This resolves long standing issues associated with the older engine and allows us to benefit from features and bug fixes in other source games as they come online, such as improved graphic effects and more accurate hit registration.

During this process we created some unintended side effects, these are bugs. We are actively investigating all reports.

A good example of this is bullet penetration changing on Linux Servers only; not Windows Servers. This was a subtle bug to track down and understand. It has been fixed.

Rest assured we will continue to fix old and new CSS bugs. We want to retain the CSS gameplay experience that you know and love. We would also like to thank everyone reporting bugs and posting constructive feedback. This is an invaluable part of the process.

New Css Update

Neben der Mac-Kompatibilität, die mit Steamplay auch PC-Benutzern das Spielen auf einem Mac mit ihrem Account ermöglicht, gibt es auch für die Community neuen Anreiz. 144 Errungenschaften wurden mit diesem Update auf dem Weg gegeben und ein weiteres Statistiken-System ermöglicht es euch, die Fähigkeiten eurer Freunde zu beobachten!

Da dieses Update leider einige Bugs hatte, erschien gestern ein zusätzliches Update was einige Bugs beseitigen soll!

Hier der Changelog:

-Fixed several problems with missing textures in community maps.
-Fixed a crash that could occur when stats get updated.
-Fixed a crash that could occur when displaying the scoreboard.

-Restricted the range of commands that servers can cause clients to execute when closing the MOTD.
-Server admins will need to change the "cmd" key from a string to one of the following ints:
0 for no command
1 for joingame
2 for changeteam
3 for impulse 101
4 for mapinfo
5 for closed_htmlpage
6 for chooseteam

Engine
-Fixed an exploit that allowed a plug-in to be loaded as a .dll file on the client after being downloaded from the server.
Missed from last update:
-Removed an exploit that allowed players to change their in-game name outside of the Steam Community

Linux Dedicated Server
-Fixed srcds_run so -autoupdate works properly for Counter-Strike: Source

Neues TF2 & Css Beta Update

Valve arbeitet weiter fleissig an der CSS Beta, aber auch TF2 kommt dabei nicht zu kurz. Neben einigen technischen Änderungen wie zum Beispiel das hinzufügen der Kill-Icons für die neuen Waffen aus dem letztem Update, gab es auch wieder Änderungen an zwei TF2-Maps. Nachdem Plr_pipeline und Cp_gorge vor kurzem überarbeitet wurde, ist diesmal Tc_Hydo und Koth_Nucleus dran.

Auf Koth_nucleus wurde ein Fehler behoben, bei dem man durch eine Spawntür durchschiessen konnte. Dies war ein sehr nerviger Fehler, der nun zum Glück behoben wurde. Auf Tc_Hydro wurde ein spezielles Respawn Timing eingeführt. Wenn das Team einen Kontrollpoint erobert, bekommen alle toten Spieler einen Zeitbonus beim respawnen. Außerdem wurde eine automatische Berechnung der Respawnzeit aus der Map entfernt.

Css - Große limitierte Beta

Valve stellt in Zusammenarbeit mit den Hidden Path Studios eine Beta zur Verfügung, die den etwas betagten ESports-Titel um viele Erneuerungen bereichert! Zum Beispiel: Dominationen und Rache können wie in Team Fortress 2 und Day of Defeat: Source nun erreicht werden. Aber nur für eine kurze Zeit, denn es gibt nur eine begrenzte Anzahl von Teilnehmern!

Die folgenden Neuerungen sind in der Beta - neben dem Spiel - enthalten:
