Source Engine Update Released

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

Pure Servers

• Servers can now force the client to match the server's files, by becoming a pure server. When a server enables sv_pure, clients who connect and play on the server cannot gain an advantage by modifying the game content. For more information about Pure Servers, click here.

Source Engine

• Cheat protected many cvars and commands
• Removed cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent clients from being redirected
• Fixed user names reported as "unconnected" when greater than 32k players had connected to the server
