Fixed in issue that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.

Fixed a problem that caused environment mapping to not appear on
reflective surfaces.

Fixed a crash that happened when a client picks up a kit that doesn't

I don't know if it's me or what. But last night I played with this patch and wow was it much smoother. All of a sudden by kill ratio was like 3:1. Before it seemed like when I shot someone he would somehow be bulletproof, but not now.

Still a LONG way to go before Corporal though. I wonder when they'll release new maps?

Is this a client side only patch or will servers need to update too????

I believe the servers do need to update as well.

I agree, this patch made it much smoother for me as well. Much less lag/stutter than before. I did get an occasional "connection problem" in game which I hadn't gotten since the demo, but it cleared itself quickly. Last night was the first time I ever cranked the top 5 of a 40+ player match.
