Valve is on a roll lately. In addition to breaking manimod and sourcemod, and earlier today apparently breaking (practically all?) TF2 servers so that no one could play until the servers updated again, Botolf and other people are apparently having some weird problems with the source engine editor tools, and he was working to finish a contest entry. :lol

Still working on it, actually! I found a suitable workaround, I just switch to the Episode One version of the SDK (close hammer and press a few buttons, more or less painless) to edit my brushes and all that, then switch to the Episode Two version to do my compile. Works flawlessly so far and I'm not going to miss the deadline.Blizzard said:

Really THAT bad? We had someone on with 500 ping...and when I commented on it, it jumped to 700 ping. Though he was a scout and seemed to be magically dodging my sentry gun
Honestly, sounds like you may need a reinstall.

I was that way too... then it broke me and I had to format. haha I already posted this but, I tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling graphics drivers, defragging the hard drive, dragmenting cache files, several commands within TF2, etc.

No Mercy looks kind of cool.
Yeah. I'm definitely going to run it tonight. I've also got lazytown_night to mix things up a bit. It's a fun but a bit too channeled map.
Twig, have you tried reducing your gfx to a minimal to see if the delays still happen? Maybe some value got stuck out of norm and changing the setting will reset it. There was a minor bug fix in the latest patch to fix some kind of graphics glitch that runs rampant.
He's too good for us. He's playing the SC2 beta. I bought that SOB chili!Javaman said:
This game has hard-crashed on me twice, caused some funky sound bug when I switched from 2x AA, and has memory crashes every so often (Kuro knows this one.) It's not the most stable thing on two legs, or how many ever legs it has. I suppose there are downsides to having a steady stream of updates.
Either the teams were really balanced, or the lack of changing spawnpoints made it last a long time. In the end one team got coordinated and got the last point fairly convincingly, however.
*edit* Okay, after trying 8v8 or so for like 30 minutes straight, I say let's not do that again. ;____;

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Lazytown, great map or the greatest map?
Well we had a teleporter on the 3rd/4th point for part of that, and still didn't get the last point, since if the defending team actually tries, they have like...5-10 second spawn, a giant hill with cover for engineers/medics/snipers, and a really slow-to-capture final point. And their spawn hill even has direct line of sight onto the next point...Javaman said:
Two quick observations from me burning myself out sucking at TF2 today:
1. The minicrit boost for pyros reflecting regular rockets...didn't seem to help me so much. The increased damage and knockback meant that twice I launched soldiers like 50 feet in the air at the bottom of the winding hill on cashworks. One landed next to health, and another landed on some weird little outcropping, though I managed to kill that one with a flare. Later on something like goldrush I hit a soldier and he went flying like 20 feet backwards so he could run away and heal. :lol
2. Has anyone else seen the cloak and dagger or regular cloak messed up lately? I heard someone say that only the dead ringer is worth using right now, like the latest updates broke something. I asked because I could have sworn I had 1/4 cloak and dagger left, I was sitting nearly still next to a wall near no one else, and a sniper suddenly started running towards me tracking me as I moved sideways (like looking directly at me). He said he saw me flickering.

Attn Twig/others with fps problems:
Have you seen this thread on the TF2 forums? http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1093560
If you're running anti-virus software in the background it seems like a safe bet.

My FPS drops have been cured thanks to this thread from the Steam forums (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1043281):
* Open regedit
* Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
* There will be an entry for network performance throttling, default value is 10; set it to FFFFFFFF hex (willl look like 0xFFFFFFFF to the right of the entry)
* Reboot
Seems to be a networking problem rather than a grahics card problem.

God I wish you could save multiple load outs for quick switching! I made a mock up of what they could do.. would people support the idea?
Basically hold the cursor over your Mercenary and a drop down box will appear showing you 2-3 saved load outs while on the left it shows what is in the load out.
or alternatively have it on the far right.
It shouldn't be hard to do this and I would love it. Would you?

Was this problem suddenly caused by an update like Twig's was? He also described it as consistent slowdown rather than intermittent stutters.snack said:
There's some ghost in the machine with TF2. It's also reset my key bindings three times, mainly when I use HLSS, though I only map sounds to F1 through F8. The W key suddenly gets unmapped and I have to go back and rebind it.
This game is screwy.

1. Aim better when airblasting?! There are videos on how to do it better!
2. Broken...same thing happened to me. Also easier to spy check though!
I'm awful at timing. Learning to aim with weapons is something else I'm awful at, but I need to get my timing fixed first.Kuro Madoushi said:1. Aim better when airblasting?! There are videos on how to do it better!
And at any rate, where would you aim except at the ground? If you're a pyro who can consistently bodyshot soldiers with their reflected rockets without hitting any ground or walls, I'm impressed.Hey guys, I got pl_swiftwater to work using the 2nd DL link...

Even better that you only can reserve the next statue with a validation from the heavy statue. So 8 months per class makes 6 years to collect them all. That makes no senseDechaios said:

I think it'll be up for a tiny bit at least. And yeah, that site sucks serious balls. It will pretty much crash I'm guessing.derFeef said:Even better that you only can reserve the next statue with a validation from the heavy statue.

Ugh... I expected this to be kind of costly, but having us blindly wait to preorder without telling us the price, when it's that high, is just going to blow up in their faces. They'll still probably sell out, but they're going to piss off plenty of people this morning.
Edit: I just got in, to a degree:
So "serious face" Heavy even costs $15 more.
