- Fixed a bug that allowed players to fall into lava in Hell and survive.
- Rounds now play as best-of-3 minirounds instead of best-of-5.
- Removed crumpkins.
- Updated cp_cowerhouse:
- Reworked the BLU last control point gantry so ragdolls no longer fall through, Engineers can place buildings correctly, and players properly fall after the gantry opens in the post-round finale.
- Prevented ragdolls from falling through the RED last control point pit.
- Moved the soul gargoyle spawn (previously underwater) to sit above water on debris near the MID control point.
- Adjusted the boards on the upper waterfall-side RED barricade in MID to better match the height of the BLU counterpart.
- Applied minor performance optimizations across the map: combined several prop_dynamics into prop_static, disabled bone followers on static robots and gibs, merged some func_nobuilds, and converted other prop_dynamics to prop_static.
- Adjusted a playerclip in the BLU spawn near the rear exit door.
- Refined the playerclip around the BLU battlement painting (the RED village on fire) to prevent players from getting stuck on the wall edge.
- Added a changelog note: shooting each wooden cow stand‑in in the RED stable (near MID) will cause them to return as ghost cows.
