Valve has had a reputation for great customer support, although this usually means only if your a PC gamer. After months of waiting, Valve has released a patch to fix some Team Fortress 2 exploits and resolve hosting and lag issues. The patch also made some balancing fixes. It might be a little late for some, considering the speed and frequency at which Valve has handled the PC version of TF2, but at least the fix is here. Fire up your copy of Team Fortress 2 and finally play some smooth games

On to the good stuff; according to a Valve representative posting on the www.xbox.com forums the patch fixes/changes the following:

- Fixed a medic invulnerably exploit.
- Fixed grenades going through players or buildings.
- Fixed exploit with rockets causing damage through thin walls.
- Fixed exploit allowing snipers to fire faster than intended.
- Fixed exploit allowing players to teleport with the intelligence.
- Fixed exploit attaching sappers to buildings through walls.
- Fixed spy backstab exploit.
- Fixed spy being able to attack without dropping his disguise.
- Medics no longer heal enemy spies when they're not disguised.
- Tweaked auto-balance calculations.
- When an engineer dies in sudden death, his buildings explode.
- Fixed stats sometimes not reporting correctly.
- Added a dialog to indicate when the host shuts down the server.
- Added rumble to Team Fortress 2 weapons.
- Fixed ping column sometimes getting hidden in some resolutions.
- Added 10 and 14 player game sizes.
- Prevent hosts selecting game sizes above their bandwidth limits.
