Valve has a released an update for the PC version of its co-op zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead.

The update, available on Steam now, addresses some minor bugs as well as introducing fatigue to the melee attack.

The full list of changes:

• Introduced fatigue to the melee attack in versus mode. You will see a HUD display when your melee swing is cooling down
• Boomer vomit will now pass through common infected
• Addressed some surround sound detection issues
• Fixed a rare crash when exiting Left4Dead on Windows Vista
• Fixed a case where the complete all expert campaigns achievement was not being rewarded

Dedicated server changes

• Corrected an issue where Windows based dedicated were sending spurious shutdown notifications to the master causing them to delist temporarily
• Fixed dedicated servers not resetting the versus team swap correctly--you could join a dedicated server that had a previous game that was swapped and arrive on the other team than what was selected in the lobby
• Renamed the tags for sv_search_key to use "key:" in the server tags instead of "sv_search_key." This should help with issues of the 63 character limit of server tags
• Fixed an occasional server crash related to voting
