Day of Defeat: Source and Source Engine Updates Available
September 27, 2005, 7:09 pm · Alfred Reynolds
Updates to Day of Defeat: Source and the Source Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Source Engine

* Fixed some video cards being incorrectly set to DX9 when they should have been DX8. This would cause a significant performance problem for affected hardware
* Changed refresh behavior of server browser. Old behavior was generating too much traffic when list was not open
* Fixed bug where VAC would sometimes hold onto .dlls after a game had been shut down completely
* Fixed a crash which could sometimes occur immediately after launching a game


Day of Defeat: Source

* Added the default mapcycle.txt to servers running Day of Defeat: Source
* Fixed crash bug when using %s in your player name


Source Dedicated Server

* Fixed bug in dedicated server engine that incorrectly displayed their anti-cheat status (servers were showing as insecure, but were running in secure mode)
