Team Fortress 2 July 19 Update

Valve addresses binary locations, unusual effect bugs, and map exploits across multiple stages.

A new Team Fortress 2 update moves binary files, fixes visual issues on cosmetics, and repairs map geometry.

Binaries and Cosmetics

The 64-bit Steam binaries move to the correct folder. Updates fix the equip region for Free Mann's Fashion, scale and trail issues on the Butterfly Season unusual effect, visibility on Distant Drift, performance for Fiesta Royale and Grand Jubilee unusual taunts, and positioning on the Botler 2000.

Maps and Fixes

On koth_megaton, the finale no longer cuts off early, players blow up properly during the end sequence, roof edges stop trapping players, and optimization improves. Cp_canaveral_5cp fixes out-of-bounds exploits, stuck spots, and hovering props while adding missing overlays. Cp_overgrown stops players from building in RED spawn, adjusts clipping, and removes an extra shadow control entity. Pl_odyssey closes an exploit letting BLU enter RED spawn and fixes lighting in the first BLU spawn.

Why this patch matters

This patch resolves map exploits, visual bugs on cosmetics, and binary placement errors.
