Model Changes

• Added all new security Jeep models
• RPG and Tau weapon viewmodels can now have blood on them
• Fixed MP5 tracers originating from above the gun

Programming Bugfixes

• Fixed the ragdoll T-pose bug. There should be no more instances of ragdoll corpses standing up in the T-pose position when loading a save.
• Re-added the cool Tau and Gluon gib effects from the mod. Now the gibs get their fizzy electric effects, as they did before!
• Disappearing weapons bug is fixed in multiplayer. We believe we have resolved the bug related to your weapons sometimes disappearing in multiplayer when you respawn. Please report it to us again (with steps to reproduce, if possible) if you experience it.
• Fixed voice chat in multiplayer
• Fixed “double crouch” bug, aka “schrodinger’s crouch.” Fixed a hitbox bug related to rapid crouching that would make the player’s hitboxes always stay crouched, even while standing
• Reduced physical scale of player viewmodels to ⅕ their original size. This has no impact on the size of the viewmodel in game (as it’s a scaled projection), but means there will be no more weird lighting bugs on the weapons, as their scale is now accurately represented. We also rescaled all the particles and associated weapon drag cvars to match the new weapon scale
• Crossbow Bolt is now a simulated projectile with a speed of 8000 (from 2000). The old Crossbow bolt moved at the max speed allowed by the physics engine, so we switched it out for a tracer with a simulated speed. It is now far more useful as a long range sniping weapon, as intended. Cvar viewmodel_lag changed to cl_viewmodel_lag now using different scaling
• Fixed violence_hgibs and violence_agibs options
• Implemented SetPointsPerFrag for mp_gamerules
• Updated engine internals to Valve upstream
• Fixed multiple crossbow bugs
• Fixed multiple minor crashes and bugs

Singleplayer Level Design
