Another of Valve’s usual Team Fortress 2 auto updates has become active. While most of the little bug fixes are not really news worthy this version sorts out one issue and it’s a big one. It fixes a big that prevented accurate Arena mode user statistics from being uploaded.

If this means that user scores were not uploaded for future record and achievement unlockables then that is a serious issue worthy of note. Considering how many hours it takes or the fluke occurrences that happen to make an achievement and a weapon unlockable it could take months to regain what should already be yours.

It’s a good thing Valve run their own patching service via Steam as by normal means in almost any other game but MMO’s it could take months for enough glitch fixes to come around to make a standalone patch a worthwhile thing to publicise and update with on the companies end. For Team Fortress 2 users the next time you go onto Steam the download will begin automatically and take just a jiffy.

As a big guy we always wondered how our old friend in Valve’s Team Fortress 2 manages to keep in shape and it turns out to be a steady diet of sandviches.

As one of the big announcements to the heavy update for TF2 the sandvich is a health supply which when properly used can provide valuable emergency health. The only downside to this is you must stay in one place for a number of seconds making considerable noise while eating your sandvich. Just like a sitting duck indeed.

If you have Team Fortress 2 you can try out the sandvich right away by downloading the heavy update now.
