An update for all Steam games has just been released. See below for a list of what's included. As always, Steam will update your games automatically. Dedicated Servers will be required to restart. If you're a server admin and you have trouble using the HLDS update tool, you can download the latest dedicated server updates here.

ENGINE (all games)
Small CPU optimizations
Stop motdfile from having "..","","/" or ":" characters in filename
Added new command line option "-dll"; Syntax is -dll [game_dll_to_load]
Fix for updated files on the server not getting to the client when using compression
Fixed extremely large rcon packets not being returned correctly
CSTRIKE
Increased hit damage for elite pistols (slightly)
Decreased price for elite pistols to $800

Fix xm1014 and m3 from making endless empty clip sounds when out of ammo

I try not to stay in IRC for too long because it distracts me from other stuff
