[Jul 24, 2010, 09:36 am ET] - 10 Comments

Steam has yet another new automatic patch for Alien Swarm to further update Valve's just-released freeware shooter, among other things fixing the issue with GTX 260 graphics cards. The change list follows.

The Vindicator’s grenade explosion effect should no longer crash users running a GTX260 graphics card.
Fixed a bug where marines would continue to be buffed by the Damage Amp if they were standing in it when it expired.
Fixed ammo usage on the Tesla Cannon to properly decrease 4 times a second instead of 2 (doubled clip size to account for this).
Rebalanced Tesla Cannon’s damage to encourage it to be used more as a support weapon.
Tesla Cannon will now use ammo slowly even when it isn’t damaging something.
Fixed Unicode text chat
