This update will be a large download because we have reworked our coop maps and merged them into our main maps. This means we now have support for Outpost Night, Hunt Day, Survival Day. There are now over three times the amount of cooperative scenarios, and the game takes up 1.5 gigabytes less space.

Insurgency is also being featured in the latest Humble Bundle[www.humblebundle.com]. If you are interested in further supporting us, you can donate to the bundle and select “Developers” and then “Insurgency” in the sliders below.

SteamOS and Linux support

End-game map voting now shuffles the map selection by default. Server admins can revert to the old behavior by setting sv_map_voting_shuffle to 0.

Camera smoothing for the free fly spectator camera, disabed by default. To enable it enter the following commands. The amount of smoothing is configurable for every setting and the maximum banking angle can be adjust as well using spec_bank_angle (negative values make it bank in the other direction)
spec_interpolate 1 (smooths mouse movement)
spec_interpolate_position 1 (smooths out camera position changes)
spec_bank 1 (enables yaw-based camera roll)

Stability Improvements
Replaced Chromium HTML implementation with the one provided by Steam. This should resolve an issue that a limited number of users were having where the game would freeze on exit.

Bug Fixes
Fixed crouch and stand transitions when leaning.
Fixed grenade launcher not being dropped when a weapon with a grenade launcher was swapped with another.
Firefight will now trigger the hero cap voice over.
