Yup, Valve are still updating and improving Team Fortress 2, and another fresh upgrade is out now improving the matchmaking experience.

Nice to see, after the Summer Update that seemed to again help deal with the bots, and the delivery of the big petition to Valve, that work on TF2 continues. Remains popular too with a peak concurrent player count of 47,669 in the last 24 hours.

Here's all that's changed:

  • Improved matchmaking performance.
  • Improved matchmaker behavior for users with less-than-ideal ping levels. The matchmaker should now be quicker to put you in the best available region.
  • Improved matchmaker decision making for cross-region parties.
  • Added error messages when being ejected from the matchmaking queue due to connectivity or authentication failures, rather than the queue simply silently vanishing.
  • Fixed the matchmaking settings dialog frequently failing to display any datacenters.
  • Fixed multiple cases of in-progress casual matches abruptly terminating or failing to be assigned any new players if the game server ever loses connection to Steam.
  • Updated the Mountebank's Masque, Courtier's Collar, and Harlequin's Hooves cosmetic items to fix issues with their paint regions.
  • Updated cp_gravelpit_snowy
    • Fixed a script issue
    • Improved performance
    • Improved clipping
