Jarate Piss Breaks Team Fortress 2

That Jarate sure is powerful stuff; not only will it have debilitating effects on a Spy, it will also crash a TF2 server! Lucky for Jarate throwers everywhere Valve is aware of this and just released a fix that solves the issue and addresses a couple more community gripes (Ambassador not killing with a head-shot...duh).

This is the third update since Valve released the Sniper/Spy update and some other changes and while that might bother some, I love how Valve is committed to making the game work and fixing gamer complaints. I've said it before but one more time won't hurt - Valve is saving PC gaming.

TF2 Update Notes

    * The Ambassador now does full critical hits on headshots, instead of mini crits

    * The Dead Ringer now fully drains the cloak meter, even if the Spy leaves cloak early

    * Fixed Spy disguise menu not being visible in HUD minimal mode

    * Server log improvements:

          - Added "player_extinguish" event for servers to log when a Pyro extinguishes flame with the airburst
          - Fixed kill descriptions for Force-A-Nature & Sandman, so server logs can distinguish them
          - Identified feign deaths in the events sent to server logs

    * Fixed server crash related to the Jarate

	... Always on the ball with the gamers. That's what made Epic games so popular on the UT series. You respond to the fans, they are happy, they give you money. LOL Well not exactly like that, but I think you get the point. Hmm...I wonder if they had an all out Jarate throwing fest to kill the TF2 server.
