A Team Fortress 2 update fixes unusual effect naming conflicts, missing hat styles, and war paint alpha channels.

Cosmetics and Styles

The Beachcomber's Brim gains a second style that was previously missing. Truncated style names on the Hard Hearing have been corrected.

Unusual Effects

War Paints and Textures

Alpha channel errors are fixed for the Sandwich Diner war paint, Sideshow war paint, and the Pyro's Overalls backpack image. Stray pixels were removed from the Team Union war paint.
