Team Fortress 2 Fixes a Teleporter Exploit and Cleans Up koth_dryfield

Team Fortress 2’s latest update is live, fixing persistent view jitter during long sessions alongside Halloween and custom-map issues. Valve’s official update notice says the patch will apply automatically when players restart the game.

The patch also fixes a crash tied to snd_mix_async and addresses sv_parallel_sendsnapshot. Its new sv_wallbug convar lets community servers use the previous movement behavior.

Halloween fixes touch Marshlands contracts, the TrainSawLaser objective, Scaredy-Cat bonus objectives, and Outburst (VSH) quests. The October 2 update had already changed contract objectives on cp_wildcat_event and ctf_medi_evil. This patch also fixes out-of-bounds exploits involving Zombie Engineer’s Beacon on five maps, raises limits for new custom maps, and adds an option to VBSP.
