Team Fortress 2 has received an update that implemented a lot of bug fixes. The things resolved by this update include issues in maps, limited-time events, and sound for some taunts and items.
Map Fixes
The Lumberyard has received the bulk of the fixes from the update. The issue with the missing beacon particle that tells you where rare spell spawn locations are has been fixed.
Those who were having problems with using some custom HUDs (heads-up displays) that were interfering with the map’s own interface should not worry anymore as these have been resolved.
For the limited-time “Terror” map, the developers have fixed a few exploits which some people can use to get out of the map. The problem with the payload going off the track in rare cases has also been rectified.
Sound Issues
Some taunts, such as the Bare Knuckle Beatdown and the Mannbulance, have suffered from material and sound issues. Fortunately, this is not going to be a problem moving forward which is good, especially that these are taunts introduced in the Scream Fortress update not long ago. Aside from that, the pickup and drop sound for paint kits has been updated.
