21 Apr, 2009, 11:46 am IST | by Avinash Bali | PC

Valve has released updates for three of their highly popular online shooters Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source and Condition Zero and here’s how these updates will affect your life:


Counter-Strike and Condition Zero

Prevent Russian Walking exploit

Server changes
  • Fixed players being kicked from servers with an INVALID_STEAM_TICKET rejection
  • Added a message to the server console to show when the server has reconnected to Steam
  • Made map name and other variables reported by the server stay more current
  • Fixed mp_timeleft not updating in server rules (or any unlogged cvar for that matter)
  • Show HLTV being connected in the player count for pings
  • Fixed HLTV staying in players list even after disconnect
  • Fixed server hang when a user connects with a specially crafted info string
  • Fixed occasional crash under Linux on startup for SMP machines (Linux)
  • Cleaned up hlds_run script (Linux)
Team Fortress 2


Game Changes
  • Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features
  • Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned
  • Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements
  • Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported
  • Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch
  • Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing
Fixes
  • Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable
  • Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients
  • Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server
These updates will automatically be applied when you log onto your Steam client next.
