Workforce Fortress 2 has acquired one other replace, one which apparently addresses “exploits and stability points” with Valve’s growing old however fashionable shooter. It is the second TF2 replace in as many weeks after the sport’s gamers started protesting an absence of motion to handle the big variety of exploits plaguing the sport.
Whereas the patch notes do not supply a single standout change to get enthusiastic about, in mixture they characterize a considerable enchancment. A few of the fixes included are for years-old bugs, resembling “the Iron Bomber’s projectile collision measurement not matching different projectile collision sizes.”
Different adjustments embrace updates to localisation information, new console instructions to assist server operators, and fixes for substantial bugs within the Mann vs. Machine and Enviornment modes.
The earlier patch, launched in late June, offered new instruments to cope with the wave of bots infecting multiplayer matches of Workforce Fortress 2, principally by making the bots simpler for different gamers to kick from servers. That patch got here within the wake of regular protests from the TF2 neighborhood, to which Valve eventually tweeted a response, saying that they “see how massive this subject has develop into and are working to enhance issues.”
Though Workforce Fortress 2 is now 15 years-old and now not receives the regular stream of recent content material it used to, that hasn’t dulled its reputation. On the time of writing, the free-to-play shooter has 123,393 concurrent gamers, making it the fifth hottest sport on Steam. That is lots of people to be irritated by long-standing bugs, so hopefully the fixes hold coming.
