Wow, three updates in three days. Valve isn’t holding back on the TF2 updates here lately. Quite a few changes this time:
- Added option to change Field-of-view, between 75 & 90, from the Options->Multiplayer tab
- Added option to disable Player sprays
- Fixed flamethrower hit detection
- Increased flamethrower damage at point blank range
- Demoman grenades (not stickybombs) no longer explode on contact after the first bounce
- Fixed a startup crash
- Fixed a case where players could get stuck in tc_hydro
- Fixed player movement prediction errors
- Fixed third-person sniper aim animation not matching player’s view exactly
- Fixed achievements and stats being awarded when watching other player’s demos
- Fixed rare server crash due to data corruption in networking
- Fixed a case where some sounds had incorrect volumes
This must be the Pyro tweakage hinted at earlier. Time to get your BBQ on.
Also, it looks like we’ll be getting a Meet the Demoman video soon. Love those things.

That’s a nice patch, although there some other bugs left out. Also, I’d like to mention that http://nationwidebandwidth.com is offering co-location service for TF2 servers, so if anyone interested, they should check it out.
