Release Notes for 7/10/2014



[CSGO]

- Introduced the new eSports 2014 Summer Case.



[OPERATION BREAKOUT]

- Added quick link to Operation Journal on player profile.

- Added several new missions to the mission drop list.

- Journal will auto-close when a competitive match is found.

- When exiting a lobby, the mission panel now enables properly.

- Fixed an overlapping mission panel in Play With Friends lobby.



[GAMEPLAY]

- Adjusted penetration system to have bullets lose less damage for travelling through mass and more for the initial impact.

- Increased penetration bonus slightly for penetrating objects that start and end with plastic and cardboard surfaces.

- Penetration Power for AWP, G3SG1 and SCAR-20 has been lowered slightly because their damage naturally gives them higher penetration.

- Fixed bad penetration results with surfaces that started bsp and ended displacements or vice versa.

- Fixed bad penetration results when penetration exit surface was a nodraw surface.

- Penetrating a glass surface no longer erroneously consumes more damage on impact than other more solid surfaces.

- sv_showimpacts_penetration now shows how far a bullet penetrated before it terminated and stopped travelling.

- sv_showimpacts_penetration now shows when the bullets stops.



[SDK]

- Added key "Only Spawn-Valid Destinations" to trigger_teleport that allows mapper to ignore teleport targets that are not valid player spawn positions ( blocked by geometry or other players ).

- Added new demoinfogo.exe command line tool. Run this on a demo file and it will dump out demo packet info to the console. The source code is available in demoinfogo.zip.



[MISC]

- Added context menu for all items that tells you how many items you need to fulfill a trade-up contract (entry links to the marketplace, pre-filtered for items that can fulfill the contract).

- Fixed overview images not loading for custom maps with the dds embedded in the bsp.

- Added a default image to the loading screen.

- Additional work on memory savings for servers. Memory consumption should now be 50% or less of what it was two weeks ago.

- Additional work on memory savings for clients. Memory consumption should be about 165 MB less than it was two weeks ago, which should improve stability on 32-bit Windows.

- Fixed async rcon socket connections from OSX clients to be fully compliant with standard (thanks protonic86).

- Fixed a bug that could cause packet loss on Windows servers.

- Suiciding players or players who died naturally (like world damage) can no longer "save" another player.
