  • Sudden Death mode is now a server option (a convar) and defaults to OFF
  • Sapped buildings now take slightly less damage from the Spy who sapped them

  • Fixed the flamethrower stuttering when firing directly into a building
  • Fixed a rare crash that can happen when a player being healed leaves the server suddenly
  • Fixed rocket trail effects sometimes existing permanently in world

  • Improved the console in the graphical UI version of the dedicated server
