- Fixed some issues for players who were experiencing stat corruption.

- Fixed several server crash exploits.

- Added server convar “sv_allowminmodels” that allows them to prevent clients from using “cl_minmodels”.

- Added a button to Options->Multiplayer that allows players to reset their in-game stats.

- Note:  Due to the nature of stats corruption, it is not possible to automatically fix all types of stats (such as weapon statistics reflecting usage of the wrong weapon).  Players who suspect their stats are incorrect and wish to start fresh may want to use the new stat reset feature.
