Steam News announces a new patch is now automatically available for Team Fortress 2. Also, the Team Fortress 2 Website has details on how to access the training and offline practice modes in Team Fortress 2, in particular looking to help get owners of the new Mac edition of the teamplay shooter up to speed as quickly as possible, and there's also a new trailer highlighting the Mac Team Fortress 2 release (thanks Ant). The change list for the new patch follows.

Engine

• Fixed a crash related to model caches.
• Fixed a crash related to empty proxy files.
• Fixed a rare crash involving corrupted voice-comm playback.

Team Fortress 2

• Fixed some issues with the community submitted tips.
• Fixed a case where servers could get stuck in an infinite loop while spawning bots.
• Made the training HUD code more robust, so it doesn’t crash if the client has modified HUD resource files.
• Fixed a potential crash in the HUD during startup.
• Fixed a level change crash related to Bot navigation meshes.
• Disabled quickswitch UI in training to reduce confusion.
• The Demoman's battleaxe now sounds like a sword.

Missed a note from yesterday:

• The Eyelander now collects the heads inside Eyelanders of Demomen it decapitates.
