New hostage resuce map cs_compound
Added Source version of de_train
Upgraded version of the CT player model
Location names are shown in radio/team chat, and under the radar
Server tickrate can be specified with -tickrate
Added radio command aliases
Added mp_humanteam cvar [any | ct | t] (forces human players onto specified team – useful for humans vs bots)
Added new “match” mode for bot_quota -- If bot_quota_mode = “match”, bot count = (human count) * bot_quota
Bots no longer automatically follow humans (bot_auto_follow now defaults to 0)
Bots are balanced before humans with mp_autoteambalance
Bots can open simple +use doors
Bots change their names to match the prefix when bot_prefix changes
Several improvements to bot behavior when paths become blocked -- solves problems specific to cs_havana
Bots won’t throw grenades if something is blocking their throw
Bots are better at only breaking objects that are in their way
Fixed bug where a bot occasionally “dithered” rapidly between two or more targets without firing
bot_kick and bot_kill console commands use the bot's base name without the bot_prefix
de_piranesi - bots avoid the breakable crates better.
A bomb exploding just as the round restarts no longer kills players at the start of the next round
Grenades being thrown when the player dies no longer disappear
Increased mp_limitteams bounds to 0-30, where 0 will disable this functionality
Players’ arms and hands can be hit by bullets now
Target ID font is proportional, and it doesn't become resize incorrectly after a resolution change
Overviews don't show player locations when mp_fadetoblack is on
Players with spaces in their names can be selected in the spectator GUI
Observers can change their name at round restart
Throwing a grenade right at round restart no longer results in holding a “ghost” grenade viewmodel at respawn
Cool - new maps and they've fixed some annoying bugs (especially the nade one, that always happens to me).

Ooh, new level: de_port - coming soon!
There's a hand-drawn map on the Steam update, looks good.

I had my first ever problem with it this last update. I'd load it up, and when I tried to access monitor to see if anything was downloading it froze. Gave up after the 3rd time and just tried to join a source server and it downloaded the game and the problem was gone. Not much of a problem really...

I dont see why peole seem to hate steam so much. It was steam that gave us HL2, CS, CS:S, DOD. So what if sometimes on upgrading days the servers are busy, think of the amount of people getting it. Ive never had any sort of problem with steam.

Yeah, when I'm in game my favourites are gone but if I use steam from outside the game they're still there.

Excellent update.
Ragdol has somehow improved even more, seems a lot more fluid and even more realistic. New CT models look far better than before, new hit boxes are a welcome addition as well. Only got around to trying it an hour or so a go so I haven't bothered with the new maps yet.

Well, I try and play CS:S and it just pops up with a similar error.
Basically;
