Steam Update Released

Valve has released a new Steam update fixing various issues.

Steam Client
  • Added new filesystem for use with Red Orchestra - users will be automatically converted on launch. Improves load times in Red Orchestra on low-end systems
  • Improved Steam startup time
  • Reduced CPU usage/processing time during downloads
  • Improved content download rates
  • Optimized downloads to skip unused files
  • Updated reliability and usability data collection
  • Localized country names in purchase wizard
  • Fixed case where downloader could stall
  • Fixed case where the steam:// protocol handler wouldn't get restored on launch
  • Fixed purchasing issue if the user had an expired logon ticket
  • Fixed rare crash when browsing for servers
  • Fixed cybercafe's not being able to use the 'Do not save personal information on this computer' settings option


They forgot to fix the film grain bug in Day of Defeat: Source - even if you turn it off it will come back on everytime you start up Steam. I can't say I like that effect much.
