An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Matchmaking Changes
- The initial load time into a match no longer counts against a player’s abandon timer
- Changed the timeout before a missing player is marked as having abandoned a competitive match to be three minutes from the first time a player disconnects from the server, rather than from the moment the match is formed
- Queue times should now be significantly faster when dealing with large numbers of placement and recently-placed players in queue
- Moved the Competitive MMR change notification so it no longer overlaps your rank
- Fixed continuing to receive the prompt to rejoin a match after you have been dropped from said match
