19-5-2010 update Improved crash reporting system to enable more detailed crash reports Fixed a client crash caused by a buffer overflow while processing temp entities Counter-Strike: Source Beta Fixed not being able to add bots to the game using the Create Server dialog Fixed some movement ConVars to match the current Counter-Strike: Source settings for default values and flags Fixed several rubberbanding/stuttering issues with objects and players Fixed several ConVars (sv_accelerate, maxspeed, etc.) being hidden Fixed bloom problems Fixed a server crash caused by malformed client autobuy string Fixed developer console output being on by default Fixed "Report Bug" in the main menu not working Fixed the missing icon for the desktop shortcut Fixed the "rebuy" command not buying the correct items depending on the order they were purchased in Fixed the clock image in the spectator HUD being clipped Team Fortress 2 Fixed a case where the Spy could start taunting and cloak at the same time Flamethrower changes Increased base damage 10% Afterburn duration increased (from 6 to 10) Flares that hit a burning player at mid-to-long range will crit Reduced Backburner damage bonus from 20% to 15%
The backburner did get buffed; it now does 101% of the damage it did before all these recent updates. The update notes may say the damage bonus has increased, but it runs off a higher base damage. (1*1.2 < 1.1*1.15)
It's been put back to where it was - yes sure it made for more skilful play, as you couldn't rely on the afterburn to take down a player (which is what Valve actually state you can do in the hints ingame), but it was a little too short to do proper damage. Personally I'd have put it to 8 - 6 was too short, but 10's too long again. Nothing more frustrating than showing a recently-respawned pyro on the killcam :/
ya, but its only happend on ph so far, but i havent really played on other server so mabye its not ph
