In the evening European time? Sure, why not.

How's 6pm CEST/5pm BST/12pm EDT? Hopefully my time zone calculations are correct. :p

CEST = Central European Summer Time, BST = British Summer Time, EDT= Eastern Daylight Time.

Let's say 20:00 CEST and see who all is going to join.

17:34Team Fortress 2 Updates Released

Product Update - Valve

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Team Fortress 2

Added a Parasite hat to celebrate the release of Alien Swarm (http://www.alienswarm.com/)

Fixed a client crash when opening the backpack while running in a language other than English.

Fixed not being able to pick-up buildings in Arena mode.

Fixed an exploit that allowed team kills with Wrangled sentries.

Fixed a bug where teleporters could be given more than their normal amount of health.

Fixed old demos with different data tables thinking the SourceTV player entity was burning.

TF Bot Changes

Improved performance of bot computations that are done when a point is captured, a round starts, or a checkpoint reached.

Fixed Engineer bot infinite build-destroy behavior loop regression

Fixed Medic bots losing their charge if they touch a resupply cabinet

Fixed a crash due to having multiple types of bot systems running in-game simultaneously

Fixed bot behavior issue resulting in bot pile-ups near level 3 teleporter entrances

Bots no longer consider sapped sentries a dangerous threat

Bots will not try to navigate through enemy spawn rooms (unless they have won the round)

Bot Engineers will avoid building teleporters on steep slopes which can hinder teammate movement

Added tf_bot_pyro_always_reflect cvar. Set to 1 to make Pyro bots always reflect projectiles, regardless of difficulty level.

Anyone know if you will be able to get the hat after today (by earning the achievement in Alien Swarm)? I assume so but would love confirmation.....where I currently am its going to take me another 5+ hours to download the game.

It's based on an Alien Swarm achievement, so I don't think it's time-limited.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
