In regelmässigen Abständen veröffentlicht Valve einen Update-Report, damit Spieler nachvollziehen können, warum gerade ihr Lieblingscharakter verbessert oder verschlechtert wurde. Auch am 19. September veröffentlichte Valve einen neuen "Info-Text", der dieses Mal ellenlang daherkommt ...
Tatsächlich gibt es dieses Mal lediglich eine einzige Textzeile zu bestaunen:
"Fixed a crash with some particle effects."
Hierbei handelt es sich aber lediglich um ein Update vom 19. September. Einen Tag zuvor hingegen, hatte Valve ordentlich an der Ausbesserungschraube gedreht und einen ganzen Batzen an Details verändert, abgeändert oder einfach entfernt.
