0.0.16

• Completely eliminated thread pool bottlenecks by switching to C++ standard threading APIs for mutexes
  • This resolves stutters, frame drops, etc, due to poor scheduling within the Windows APIs
  • These stutters were very heavily associated with particle simulation, since that system was queued within the thread pool
  • Before, particle simulation start and finish could be delayed by up to 10 milliseconds!
  • There are still some frame stutters and drops associated with D3D9 device calls, but work is ongoing to fix these as well
• Fixed inefficient recursive thread locking in various places
  • When a thread already had a lock, in some cases, it would try to get that lock again, due to incorrect placement of locks
  • This generally makes locking/mutexes faster
• Tuned some thread timing parameters
• Removed debug overhead in threading from release builds
• Fixed MvM Heavy Rage voice lines not being used
• Optimized renderable bounds computation (now cached and only computed once per frame)
  • This optimization was ported from CS:GO
• Fixed all player animation being less efficient due to an inefficient check for the Passtime ball
• Fixed the Jag doing very low damage to enemy buildings except for Sappers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Poa-YjPFs9k)
• Fixed various crashes commonly encountered due to old settings from live TF2
• Now compiled with the C++latest standard (with MSVC permissive mode)
• Fixed some C++latest standard non-compliance (work is ongoing to be compatible with non-permissive mode)
• Set r_fastzreject back to 0 as intended

Known issues:

• Medigun heal sound does not play
• Facial expressions do not play (facial expressions)
