Valve has just issued an update that improves the Source engine performance, on the Linux platform, for a few of its games.

Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch are the three titles that received an update, and the Linux version is the sole beneficiary of a performance boost.

Here are some highlights of the update released by Valve for the three games:

• The performance for the Linux version has been improved; • A problem that was preventing some older demos from being played has been corrected; • A client/server crash, which occurred when a flamethrower gets destroyed while firing, has been corrected; • Missing buttons have been fixed on the item import tool; • The promo restrictions from the Shred Alert, the Brutal Bouffant, and the Buck Turner All-Stars, have been removed; • The Vaccinator has been updated with its own uber-off sound.

More details about this new update can be found on the official website.
