The patch's largest additions include adjusting the game's Phong shading and adding SourceMod support, and its largest removal was that of the native Linux client. A new [[CTF]] map named [[Penguin Peak]] was added, which is a winter version of [[Pelican Peak]].

** Parallax-correction applied to the map's cubemaps

** Other minor visual tweaks

* Updated [[ctf_2fort]]:

** Water appearance slightly adjusted to be more clear

* Updated Game Instructor:

** Now has a stylized, team colored background, akin to the one used by {{code|game_text_tf}}

** Hint text now properly supports localized strings and can include newlines

** Added filters for class and team to {{code|env_instructor}} hint

* Updated {{code|tf_logic_arena}} entity:

** Added {{code|RoundTimeOverride}} keyvalue for overriding round time

** Added {{code|switch_teams}} keyvalue. If enabled, teams will be swapped around on a new round

* Updated {{code|item_healthkit_small}} entity:

** In [[Arena|Arena mode]], small health kits assigned to a specific team now have unique assets to signify which team they can be used by

* Updated {{code|tf_logic_domination}} entity:

** Added outputs for each team that trigger every time team score updates

* Updated {{code|math_counter}} entity:

** Now uses float values for I/O instead of integers

** Added {{code|SetMinValueNoFire}} and {{code|SetMaxValueNoFire}} inputs

* Added several math related entities from Mapbase:

** {{code|math_counter_advanced}}

*** A special version of math_counter with advanced inputs, outputs and keyvalues for advanced operations and specialized calculations

** {{code|math_clamp}}

*** Clamps input values between the specified min/max, which can be integers, floats or vectors

** {{code|math_bits}}

*** Performs calculations involving bits and bit operations

** {{code|math_vector}}

*** Allows for operations on vectors like "0 0 0" or "2509.677 384.001 204.5"

** {{code|math_mod}}

*** Modifies and outputs input values with the specified value and operator. For example, it could be configured to add 2 to each value sent to this entity, outputting the result each time. This is to create I/O "pipelines" that demand instant operations limited by, say, using a math_counter with delays

** {{code|math_lightpattern}}

*** Replicates baked light patterns and fires outputs accordingly

** {{code|math_generate}}

*** Generates numbers from a variety of algorithm, mostly taken from material proxies. (e.g. a sine wave)

* Ported several soundscapes from Left 4 Dead 2 and Alien Swarm

** These are in scripts/soundscapes_canada.txt and are unlisted by default. The pack intends to cover unusual environments that weren't adequately covered through preexisting soundscapes, such as for caverns, mineshafts, volcanoes, snowstorms, extremely large interiors, and swamps. It also includes numerous utility scapes that can be used when creating custom ones, and entries are all documented to make it clear how they're meant to be used. Read the file's introduction for more information.

* Added {{code|[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/CAreaPortalOneWay func_areaportal_oneway]}} to the FGD

* Added new entries to the {{code|game_sounds_tf2c}} soundscript:

** {{code|Ambient.Lightning_strike}}

** {{code|Ambient.Thunder}}

** {{code|Ambient.LargeFanLoop}}

* Backported {{code|[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Beam_spotlight beam_spotlight]}} from Left 4 Dead

* Implemented loadout page grid and pagination

** Can be toggled via {{code|tf2c_loadout_grid}}

* Implemented {{code|-defaultscheme}} launch options

** Allows for loading any custom client schemes. The game will append the value to the file name of the Scheme it loads

** The default value for Wine/Proton is "linux", so the game will load "resource/ClientScheme_linux.res" instead of "resource/ClientScheme.res" by default

** For Wine/Proton users, this may break Custom HUDs. For backwards compatibility, passing no values to {{code|-defaultscheme}} reverts to the old behavior

* The [[Civilian|VIP]] no longer instantly respawns all dead teammates if they change loadout in spawn or use the respawn command

* Added support for closed captions (currently in English only), by SilentFox03/Kiri

* Updated bot_teleport command:

** Passing no arguments will now select a random bot to teleport where the crosshair is aiming, as long as one exists

* Re-implemented {{code|tf_bot_reevaluate_class_in_spawnroom}} from live:

** When another player changes class, friendly bots currently inside a spawn room who are that same class will switch to another class

** Uses same logic as {{code|tf_bot_keep_class_after_death}} set to 0 to evaluate a balanced team roster

** Respects {{code|tf_bot_force_class}} value

* Added {{code|cl_load_custom_item_schema}} command:

** Allows loading any item schema on demand

** Takes the file name of the item schema as an argument. Please note that the file has to be present inside a /maps folder

* Added {{code|cl_print_item_schema_items}} and {{code|cl_print_item_schema_attributes}}

** Prints names and IDs for all currently loaded items and attributes the console

** Use alongside {{code|con_filter_text}} (and {{code|con_filter_enable 1}}) to search for specific lines in the output. Useful when using {{code|give_econ}} or playing on devtest_equip

* Added {{code|tf2c_allow_maptime_reset}}

* Added {{code|tf2c_sapped_building_outlines}}

* Added {{code|tf2c_vip_persist}}
