Day of Defeat: Source and Source Engine Updates Available

Updates to Day of Defeat: Source and the Source Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Source Engine
  • Fixed some video cards being incorrectly set to DX9 when they should have been DX8. This would cause a significant performance problem for affected hardware

  • Fixed a crash which could sometimes occur immediately after launching a game

Day of Defeat: Source
  • Added the default mapcycle.txt to servers running Day of Defeat: Source
