Features
New Competitive playlist featuring custom 5v5 Firefight gameplay designed specifically for high intensity competitive matches. This mode is in “beta” and will eventually feature a team vs team matchmaking and rank system. In the meantime, please give it a try and provide us with your feedback here.
News on the main menu now uses HTML (Chromium). This also allows Sourcemod plugins the ability to show HTML MOTDs.

Fixed Windows dedicated server memory leak which would cause servers to appear to lag after being online for a while.
Fixed client-side engine crash caused by a stack overflow when rendering too many objects into the cascaded shadow maps.
Fixed the game not starting at the user’s native resolution. New installs were defaulting to the resolution below the user’s native resolution which caused issues on some laptops and older displays.
Fixed crash when shooting through multiple breakable props.
Fixed client-side crash related to the index buffer running out of memory.
Fixed some minor client-side memory leaks.

Note regarding “Client Timed Out” errors
For those receiving “Client Timed Out” errors when connecting to servers, this issue has to do with being unable to connect to VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) servers. This happens to people with other Source games that utilize VAC as well, and we have no plans to abandon VAC support in the game.

Since the issue is specifically related to a failed server connection, you may want to look into a few possible solutions on your end; your Steam settings (stable vs. beta, resetting your ClientRegistry), firewall settings, and/or anti-virus settings. For instructions how to reset your Steam ClientRegistry, try this link. Any of these may have an impact and potentially fix your ability to connect to VAC servers.
