A new update for Team Fortress 2 has been released via Steam (as per usual), this time around improving Linux connection servers, and rectifying an error dialogue among these main updates:
- Added an optional per-map particle manifest called _particles.txt, which should be located in the maps directory, so map authors can load custom particle files
- Fixed minicrits resulting in reduced damage for weapons at close ranges
- Fixed the Cloak and Dagger not regenerating at the correct rate
- Fixed setinfo exploit that allowed restricted convars to be set while connected to a server
- Fixed tournament mode being interrupted if mp_timelimit hits before both stopwatch rounds have been played
- Fixed "jointeam unassigned" exploit
- Fixed being able to respawn during the chat time before a level change
- Fixed "sensitivity" ConVar not capping the upper value which sometimes caused a server crash
- Prevented some exploits based on mat_dxlevel being changed in-game
- Updated ripple effects for water drips to improve performance
As per usual, the update will automatically apply the next time you restart your Steam client.

"Added a balcony at 2-1 that I've rotated and cleaned up so it's a much better point, it attracts less sentry spam but is still holdable. 2-2 has a bit more breathing room and the one way route between BLU/RED spawn in stage 3 has gone and in its place some stairs up to the second level accessible from BLU's side."
Added "tf_ctf_bonus_time" ConVar to set the CritBoost bonus time for capturing the intelligence (0 to disable it)
Added "tf_arena_first_blood" ConVar to toggle the first blood feature in Arena mode (0 to disable it)
Added missing snowpuff particles for DX8 players
Fixed rocket jumping
Fixed sticky bomb attachment to props. They will now only ignore the saws in sawmill
Fixed Scouts going into reference pose in double jumps
Fixed the Ubersaw not displaying team colors
Fixed Spies disguised as RED Scouts not cloaking properly
Removed two more text messages for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode
