Nor have I, its mostly npc glitches they fixed looks like. But I never had a problem of the game crashing cause of a npc.
Heres what todays update did Lol
Fixed flying ragdolls
Fixed vehicle view offset
Fixed hulls not changing
Fixed broken achievements
Increased max particles
Restored OpeningURL HTML panel callback
Added HTML:RunJavascript()
Added HTML:GetHTMLMaterial()
Now what gets me is why the fuck are they added stuff? they should take the time to fix everything before adding crap...
