Valverespondedto players’ concerns at the end of May about the flood of bots affecting TF2, saying they were “working to improve things”. As such, two of the most critical changes in the update are the altered vote system, which now allows players to kick bots out of matches faster, and a fix preventing players from being able to change names during a matchmaking game. Both teams can now have a kick vote running at the same time, and a global vote can be running while a kick vote is happening.

It actually took a TF2 parody account to tweet news of the update though, as Valve’s account remained silent:

Many of the players discussing today’s update onRedditandTwitterhave approved of the changes so far, particularly the updated vote system.Othersdon’t think the update has done much to tackle the bot problem. Some playerscommentedthat they hoped Valve would continue to support TF2 with more updates that actually countered bots rather than leaving it in players’ hands.

Team Fortress 2 is still free to play onSteamfifteen years since it launched. It might contain fewer bots now, fingers crossed. You can check the full patch notes for yourselfhere.
