A fresh patch for Team Fortress 2 is now live. These changes will be implemented automatically once you restart your game client. The primary adjustments include:
- Integrated a new smoke trail effect for the Scrooge McCrocket
- Resolved a prediction glitch occurring during crouch-jumps (attributed to community contributor ficool2)
- Refined the Snow Dome Unusual effect by lowering the luminance and transparency of its glass and floor surfaces
- Adjusted the Festive Fleece to address Level of Detail (LOD) inconsistencies
- Modified the Puncher’s Polar Puffer to rectify several skinning-related bugs
- Improved The Conscientious Objector by restoring absent material parameters (community fix provided by Lindon)
- Patched koth_winter_ridge to fix projectile collision problems involving the withered tree near the central objective
- Updated koth_abbey:
- Sealed minor apertures in the entryways adjacent to the spawn zones
- Enhanced tall crates with “no-build” zones and clearer visual cues indicating they are non-traversable
- Refined river geometry and clipping
- Fixed a bug where Snipers equipped with the Razorback were incorrectly resistant to freezing
