Großes Half-Life 2-Update veröffenlicht
In regelmässigen Abständen veröffenlicht die Spieleschmiede Valve Updates zum neuesten Titel Half-Life 2. So auch am gestrigen Montag - das neueste Update beseitigt nicht nur Bugs in Half-Life 2 und Counter-Strike: Source, sondern soll auch die Performance der Source-Engine geringfügig verbessern.
Dabei lag die Gewichtung dieses Mal deutlich auf der Performance-Verbesserung. So gibt es bezüglich des Gameplays in HL2 beziehungsweise CS: S nur zwei Veränderungen, während die Changelog die Source-Engine betreffend doch etwas dicker ausfällt.
Changelog des Steam-Updates
Source Engine
- Improved the performance of writing out save games. This will reduce the pause when you pass over an autosave trigger in Half-Life 2, or when you press the quicksave button
- Improved the performance of writing out the thumbnail image for save games. This will also reduce the pause when passing over an autosave trigger or pressing the quicksave button
- Increased cache memory usage for machines that have greater than 512MB of physical memory. This will reduce hitching due to cache thrashing.
- Optimized the sound cache manager, which will reduce hitching as a result of sound cache thrashing
- Minor optimization to the world renderer and world collision
- Minor optimization to the way that asynchronous sound files are loaded
- Optimized the way that sounds were loaded that are trigged by acting sequences
- Optimization to reduced the number of times model sequences are iterated on per frame
- Fixed rcon packet bug that was accepting negative packet lengths
- Fixed rcon server failing on server restart
Half-Life 2
- Weapon script files are preloaded at startup, instead of when they are accessed. This will reduce some hitches while playing Half-Life 2
Linux Server
- Added "-pidfile" command line argument to output a pid file on startup
Condition Zero
