For those unaware, the linux version of TF2 is still 32bit, and runs on ToGL - a DirectX to OpenGL translation layer.

A few days ago, Valve published a TF2 private branch called "x64_linux_test": https://steamdb.info/changelist/21975149/

Then a few hours ago, Valve update TF2's "App Config" to include references to x64 Vulkan TF2: https://steamdb.info/changelist/22010846/

Looks like it's coming soon, in theory should bring some nice performance improvements. But "soon" in Valve Time is... who knows

Not currently playing tf2, but I saw people on reddit complaining about the item server being down for extended periods of time, I just want to see the extent of the issue.

Fixed a server crash related to PASS Time and the round timer at the end of a round Fixed overlapping texture for the Panic Attack's kill icon Updated the Winning Spirit Unusual effect to fix problems with clipping and the control points Updated cp_brew Fixed missing textures on a truck Fixed unintended sentry spot on top of the HVAC pipes at the Brewery Updated pl_camber Fixed respawn room exploit Updated plr_hacksaw Fixed teleporters being able to be placed in spawn Removed hint nodes from the hacking sequence Updated plr_hacksaw_event Fixed teleporters being able to be placed in spawn Updated to match layout changes to plr_hacksaw Updated ctf_pelican_peak Removed skybox bridge for dx8 users Adjusted cow Miscellaneous fixes Updated pl_corruption Fixed an issue with the 3D skybox

also for those interested about any medals being added: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-TF2/commit/af7b0736315f2feb37bc8dfca4543228b5becc04#diff-01ba957b0f0d55d164301650591ac7b823c999924daeb46879eaef57f9646731

they've added medals for asia fortress for last year and they've added the medals for the brisbane summer brawl (australian lan tournament)

A lot happened for TF2 in 2023, with more content than the "usual". This is also my second year playing TF2. I want to see how everyone felt about TF2 in 2023 in general.

Really like this one, as it's A) actually a "taunt" taunt, where you're making fun of the guy you just killed, and B) both Halloween themed and all-year-round Medic themed.
