1.3.0

• General optimizations:
  • Frame limit (fps_max) is much more efficient and accurate
  • Improved GPU performance and latency on DX9Ex
  • Enabled async model loading
• Networking fixes:
  • Decreased default interp from 100ms to 30ms
  • Increased default update and usercmd rates to 66/s

1.2.1

• Gameplay adjustment:
  • Resolved gameplay effectiveness of stuns vs. the old behavior. This was done by scaling stuns relative to the effectiveness of a full 100% stun under the old behavior.
  • This technically still buffs stuns very slightly and applies stuns where they were never applied before (at or below 41.4% stun), but it is a reasonable scaling that mitigates workarounds.
  • To only have consistent scaling for stun, you can experiment with tf_movement_stun_legacy_threshold 0.6. This does the minimum alteration of stunned movement scaling required for a consistent stunned movement application along 0% to the highest stunned movement available in gameplay (60%).
  • To revert to before this adjustment where the full raw stun values were applied, use tf_movement_stun_legacy_threshold 10000

1.2.0

• HUD Optimizations:
  • Greatly improved the performance of rendering HUD elements
  • Greatly improved the performance of rendering text/fonts
  • Improved the performance of parsing animations and HUD elements
• Startup time optimizations:
  • Fixed clients loading duplicate server-side data at startup rather than upon listen server start
  • Optimized filesystem performance, especially during initial search path startup
  • Fixed extra material system reloads when executing configs
• General optimizations:
  • Reduced the overhead of certain GC object calls
  • Improved the performance of material parsing
  • Limited the rate at which water splash particles spawn
  • Removed some minor overhead from some systems
  • Disabled thread affinity, to allow the OS to make decisions about thread scheduling
• Networking fixes:
  • Fixed a bug where extra packets would be dropped with unstable connections
  • Increased the default rate from 80000 to 131072

1.1.1

This is a minor bug fix release for 1.1.0.

• Cleaned up unnecessary or inaccurate math optimizations
• Fixed sounds playing during loading
• Work around a rare crash caused by a race condition between the main thread and sound thread
• Fixed Linux build issues

s-1.0.3

• Updated some stuff in the documentation
• Fixed some issues in some scripts
• Fixed .gitignore typo
• Fixed issues with tf_sv_mvm_forced_players
• Cleaned up whitespace/encoding

1.1.0

• Gameplay fixes:
  • Deploy time bonuses are now considered when applying the switch from bonus, commonly encountered with the degreaser.
  • Slows now correctly apply in all movement directions.
  • Slows now correctly apply a percentage based slow to Scout's with Baby Face's Blaster charge, rather than disabling the speed boost for the duration of the slow, in addition to applying the slow.
  • Fixed class limits not being enforced during a respawn wave.
  • Fixed the MvM bomb carrier announcer voice line playing when compression blasting a TFBot with the intel off of its path
• HUD fixes:
  • Fixed the loading screen tip changing after stats were loaded
• Sound improvements:
  • Amount of sounds that can be played at once has been increased from 128 to 256 to prevent hitting the cap in large team fights
  • Added fully threaded sound. This will completely remove sound stutters, improve performance, and increase sound quality due to improved sampling.
  • Enabled spatialization effects by default, as the sound thread can sample them properly at full quality.
  • Fixed sound system being reset after 6 months of continual play
  • Greatly reduced sound latency
  • Misc. performance improvements
• Particle optimizations:
  • Improved the performance of sprite rendering
• Further improved the performance of animation and facial flexes
• Fixed a bug that was causing animation performance bottlenecks on listen servers

1.0.0

Initial release on new patches base. Here are the optimizations and other changes:

• Particle optimizations:
  • Collisions no longer do duplicate traces with collision mode 1
  • Third-person particles with attachment constraints no longer force an animation update
• Math optimizations:
  • SSE2 is now enabled. This enables much more optimized code throughout the engine.
  • Optimized math with new functionality provided by SSE2 (using DirectXMath and CS:GO backports)
  • Cleaned up some legacy functionality
• Animation optimizations:
  • Animation is now optimized to reduce redundant work
  • Added speedy animation code using SSE2 (backported from CS:GO)
  • Flex view targets no longer force an animation update
