A required update for Team Fortress 2 is coming. It will probably be available in about 30 minutes. The specific include:

- Players who are stunned by a Scout now take 50% less damage
- Increased the minimum distance to stun a player with the Sandman
- Fixed problem where clients were unable to join a team or maintain a connection to the server
- Fixed Scout taunt kill achievement firing for people who didn't actually qualify
- Fixed client crash in when creating muzzle flash effects
- Fixed client crash when determining which disguise weapon to use for a spy
- Fixed Natascha's chain not being drawn on the view model
- Fixed stun code regression that resulted in a subtle reduction of Natascha's slowdown effect
- Fixed rocket & grenade jumps not propelling players as far as they're supposed to

And with this update, you will no longer need to run with "-NoQueuedPacketThread".

am i the only that is crying about this update?
this update clearly makes the FaN even more useless, cause it was only good in combo with a full stun, now you cant even kill a scout with the FaN.

and well the sandman, its fun to use, but stun isnt good @ all anymore in a 1on1 fight because of the damage reduction. so bye bye sandman..

YAY, a useless update.. lets all equip the normal scout weapons and play with OP weapons that the medic(ubersaw/blutsauger) and pyro(axethingie), heavy(gloves, natasha in a lot of cases) did get with the updates.
YAY valve for fucking up the scout update.. YAY

If bonk actually made you faster, rather than people being able to follow you and kill you when you run out of bonk, then it might actually be useful. I think the FaN is beyond repair. I still think the sandman should be a daze effect without a -% to damage

- Fixed rocket & grenade jumps not propelling players as far as they're supposed to

Still does not stop spies backstabbing a stunned opponent which is actually quite a useful tactic...

I didn't even realise this was borked in the first place

has anyone noticed how big the difference is? I'm hoping it's more than just a few pixels

and well the sandman, its fun to use, but stun isnt good @ all anymore in a 1on1 fight because of the damage reduction. so bye bye sandman..

I wont be suprised, if further FaN and bonk improvements are incoming. Imho first failed class update this is - all weapons will be rather used for fun ( like flaregun ) not for proper use.
