Summary
v2.8.0 shipped July 16–17, 2026 on the public Steam branch. Headline: official map Death Burger, safer nameplate/chat filters, and two UI fixes for spectators and paint mode.
Superseded for paint/taunt features by v2.9.0 and for the latest map pool by v3.0.0 — update past 2.8.0 if you are still on it.
What changed
1. Official map — Death Burger
A new official stage Death Burger (burger-shop / amusement-park theme per community reports) joins the base map list as the 10th official map. Full spots guide: Death Burger Map Guide. Browse other stages on the Official Maps hub.
2. Nameplate & chat word filter
Inappropriate words and region/stream-restricted terms are blocked in player nameplates and text chat — useful for public rooms and streamer lobbies.
3. Spectator UI — Ctrl+Shift+H fixed
Control + Shift + H now correctly hides the spectator interface for clean captures and broadcasts.
4. Paint Mode — mod download buttons fixed
Buttons no longer become unclickable when the Mod download screen appears during Paint Mode.
Player checklist
- Confirm v2.8.0+ (prefer v3.0.0) on the main menu.
- Host a new lobby before loading Death Burger.
- Streamers: retest Ctrl+Shift+H and chat filters in a private room.
