Go ahead.

Mine. Just take into account that I reset my stats a while ago, I still haven't touched any records I had before, namely 40 Kills with Engineer. D=

Also, how do you make class configs? I'd love to activate auto-reload for Soldier and Demo, and keep it off from Spy.

I play with Vsync on (I know, stop laughing at me) and I haven't really had any issues with keeping 60fps. But, things just felt like they were a tinge off, especially lately. So, I felt like messing with the settings today. I left everything else as high as it could go, but I turned the High Dynamic Range to none. The game doesn't look horrible without it, and it's so ridiculously smooth now that I have to figure out some new mouse settings.

Put on your hype/speculation pants. From SPUF, so take it with a grain of salt.

Another big update next week? Steam sale? Team Spirit paint glitch fixed?

in your team fortress 2 folder go to "tf/cfg" and there will be a config file for each class (sniper.cfg, heavyweapons.cfg, etc.).

Just keep in mind that any changes you make for 1 class you'll need to undo for the others. Easiest way to do this is to put all of your default settings in autoexec.cfg and then just put "exec autoexec" as the first command in each class file.

Er what's wrong with Vsync on?

Vsync adds input latency. Some people don't notice it, some people do. If you normally play with VSync on try playing with it off and see if it improves your aim any.

Nowhere does it say another big update. Just another update.

I joined a thunder mountain game Java was playing on one of Valve's servers earlier and he, I and another guy were pretty much destroying everything. So then, on the last map while we were defending, during setup me and Java (he was playing medic) went up to the overlook near A so that we could surprise the BLU team when they tried to get on the cart. Then when we got there I turned around to see that the entire rest of the team had followed us. It was adorable. Too bad I didn't even think to save a replay.

I know you've already gotten an answer, but you should really try turning it off sometime. It's like playing in God mode, except someone is slicing your eyes with razors and you have to just take it like a man. I used to be able to take the screen tearing. But now, for whatever reason, I cannot.

Tearing can be annoying, but depending on your specs you can get stable frame rates with no tearing. I have VSync off and never get any tearing in TF2 with my max frames set to 121. In single player games and games that don't need such fast reaction time I always turn VSync on.

Nope! I actually joined to kill Javaman (since tha tis my pastime), but then he switched over to my team. Also, we ended up losing anyway, because no one on our team other than me and Java knew how to handle sentries, but the other team had like 5 engineers.

Sure thing.

You're welcome.

Good looking out, I might need to check into this. I've just stuck with Vsync for so long now because of how bad my tearing was. I'm only a fake member of the master race of PC gamers and just assumed I had to live with either having tearing or input lag. I should google these things more often lol.

If you have to depend on auto reload to 'complete' the disguise, you're playing spy wrong.

I don't think that's he said. It's just that the reloading animation for the revolver while shooting is fucking annoying.


Thanks Yeef.

Yeef, You should add a donate button on the front page when joining the server... maybe get some of that free 2 play money since the server is always full.

They're in the directory Steam\SteamApps\(your steam name)\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

autoexec.cfg is what you want applied to every character, and the individual names are the ones you want applied to just that class. I use this so that when I play Engineer, I have some of my num pad keys bound to building items (and one for quickly destroying my sentry, which is a part of playing Gunslinger with Frontier Justice): (engineer.cfg)
Code: 
bind KP_HOME "build 2 0"
bind KP_UPARROW "build 0 0"
bind KP_PGUP "destroy 2 0"
bind KP_LEFTARROW "build 1 0"
bind KP_5 "build 1 1"

But with Spy it becomes a quick disguise list: (spy.cfg)
Code: 
bind "kp_home" "disguise 7 -1"		//Pyro
bind "kp_uparrow" "disguise 4 -1"	//Demo
bind "kp_pgup" "disguise 3 -1"		//Soldier
bind "kp_leftarrow" "disguise 2 -1"	//Sniper
bind "kp_5" "disguise 5 -1"		//Medic
bind "kp_rightarrow" "disguise 9 -1"	//Engineer
bind "kp_end" "disguise 8 -1"		//Spy
bind "kp_downarrow" "disguise 1 -1"	//Scout
bind "kp_pgdn" "disguise 6 -1"		//Heavy
bind "kp_ins" "lastdisguise"
bind "kp_del" "voicemenu 2 3"

(The voice menu is just being silly.) I'm still playing with the order on that list, but that means I can just tap one key and pick any enemy disguise.

What I did was enable autoreload in-game, and then in each cfg file put in whether I wanted autoreload (1) or not (0). The command you want to put in your Spy.cfg is:

Code: 
cl_autoreload "0"

The reason I did it the way I did is because I think it "sticks" between characters, so if you only put that in your Spy cfg, then switch to Soldier without putting cl_autoreload "1" in his cfg, autoreload will stay off.

Edit: Slow to reply. Maybe this will still give someone some ideas, anyway.

Probably, but I am going to lie and say I was tweaking on some designer drug and was playing out of my mind.

Server didn't crash, all your clients did (except mine!). Then I went and dominated Furo's limp body 40x before capping the cart and ascending to the Heavens. Aww yee.
