The 
Team Fortress 2 branch is a newer version of 
Source 2013 Multiplayer, developed from updates to 
Team Fortress 2.
Features
New since the Source 2013 Multiplayer branch is:
- Swaying trees (only in ) (also in
) - A material parameter that gives the effect of trees swaying in the wind.
- 64-bit binaries (only in ) (also in )
- Allows the game to access more than 4GB RAM and have slightly better performance. Additionally, tools such as Hammer, map compilers (VBSP, VVIS, VRAD), etc... also have 64-bit binaries.
Note: 64-bit is not available on Mac.
Half-Life 2 was the first game to receive 64-bit update back in 2005, when it ran on Source 2004. It was later removed for unknown reasons, but it also had some technical issues at the time.
- VScript (also in
) - A powerful new scripting system primarily using
Squirrel or 
Lua. Third-party games may have different VScript implementation.
- WebM video playback (only in ) (also in
) - Used for game intros or cutscenes in some games. Replaces Bink video. WebM allows smaller video file sizes without significantly degrade the video quality.
- Vulkan renderer (also in
) - A low-overhead, cross-platform graphics API, successor to OpenGL.
- First introduced in 2022 with Half-Life 2 and Portal, and was add in Team Fortress 2 later during the 64-bit update. Portal with RTX also uses Vulkan as part of the RTX Remix runtime. Using DXVK, a library used to translate Direct3D calls to Vulkan. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled in supported games by passing -vulkan into the game's launch options.
