Team Fortress 2 gets a new update that is supposed to give honest players a breather. Previously, some tech-savvy users could use sv_cheats on secure servers, which was considered an exploit, which pushed Valve to deploy this update as soon as possible. However, that’s not the only exploit that was hurting the game. Instead, numerous others were addressed with the release of the June 22 update.
