This updates brought so many crashes to the game its not even funny anymore.
Just typing in 'timeleft' in the console causes a crash...Something seriously wrong there.

+The ingame gamma appears to be broken, reseting to default, which just makes everything a lovely shade of black for me.

There is a fix for this but its far from perfect:
1. Go in to options/video/ and open up the gamma window.
2. Press ctrl+alt+shift+B and then drag the menu items to suitable positions before saving.

Now you can use a slider to set the gamma. Unfortunatly it appears to be half working. The lower the number the higher the gamma, and vice versa.
1.6 being the lowest, which is just about useful in game.

I've submitted a few already but I'm waiting out on the next update before I try the game out again.
I forgot to mention that the main menu takes 20-30 seconds to pop up now as well. So it annoys the hell out of me when I crash and want to check something else out.

Tbh, this update's very amature to say the least.
