Miscellaneous fixes in the subtitles
Updated system tray icon

My crashing (and others) were magically fixed on one of the last updates - even though they calimed it was an individual pc proble - not a software problem! ugh.

For the split screeners the water shader issue was making 3 of the 5 campaigns completely unplayable, so it was nice of them to address that (since it was reported in the first week after release). Been a while since I played this, but there definitely was a patch that improved assist prioritization with the SurvivorBots. Try sb_escort 1 on your server (using SourceMod will prevent it from being counted as a cheat) as it improves a lot of SB functions in one cvar. I don't know why they don't use it as the default, in fact, but it's in there.

Nor any word of improvements to the friendly A.I., which is incapable of actually helping you in many situations! Now admittedly, the people fixing the subtitles and changing the icons are not going to be the people fixing the A.I., so I don't mind seeing other fixes going on, but it would be nice if they actually gave the game-breaking issues some kind of priority.

Great... loads of miscellaneous bullshit and no word on a fix for the chronic issues plaguing multi-GPU users. Getting 20fps at a level start is unacceptable, especially when all it takes to get back to 200-300fps is to alt-tab out of the game. Come on Valve - sort your act out!
