Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
Made stats reporting less verbose in an effort to reduce server hitches at round end
Added a server convar "sv_noroundstats" for server admin to turn off stats reporting if the server is hitching at round end. This shouldn't be necessary since the stats have been made less verbose
Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
Added a server command line option called "-dumplongticks" which will generate minidumps when there are long server frames
