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.
