If you're talking about that Chris' fps plugin thing, then forget it. It didn't work.

have you tried running your game in DX8?

 

[Alienups]

If he's running a Chris config than it should already be in dx8

 

[Cloudius12]

If he's running a Chris config than it should already be in dx8

He still has to set it in the launch option if he hasn't.

 

[Yasae]

RIP Borgnine

Finally the old bastard keels over. He left me everything - don't ask why or how.

 

[Wendel Clark]

there's a DX9 config too.

 

[Cloudius12]

Oh? UGC today? Good luck whoever is playing tonight.

 

[Professor Beef]

have you tried running your game in DX8?

What is that?

 

[Cloudius12]

What is that?

Direct X 8

in the launch option in Steam for TF2, type:

-dxlevel 81

Launch the game, change the vid settings to your liking, join a server to see how well it works, exit game, remove the said command from launch options.

inputting -dxlevel 90 will change it back to Direct X 9 if 8 doesn't suit you.

Go to your steam library, select TF2, right click on it and click properties, click 'set launch options' and paste -dxlevel 81 into the box, click ok

 

[Professor Beef]

What is that going to do, exactly?

 

[SteveWinwood]

You mean Chris Winwood? YOUR FATHER?!

My dad's name is Lawrence.

 

[Alienups]

Disable dx9 effects so the game will run (in most cases) much faster

 

[Sianos]

Good luck with C analzone, remember to keep capping and recapping the outlier points and to run the Pain Train. Focus on strategy and I'm sure we'll do great!

 

[Professor Beef]

My dad's name is Lawrence.

Of Arabia?

 

[ExMachina]

Nvm, got it. One of DEX's players is streaming the UGC match tonight:

http://www.twitch.tv/MnBran6

Has their team comms too! I want to hear them cursing all of KSRF's players in frustration, lol.

 

[Bauhaus]

I just got the Source Filmmaker beta.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Of Arabia?

No, he was a foundryman.

Edit: I hate everyone who gets into the sfm beta before me.

Edit 2: Nvm fuck all y'all just got into it. GO ME

 

[natethegreat409]

The RIP Borgnine thread scared me at first!

I listened to your music constantly yesterday. It's really good stuff.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

 

[Alienups]

gg lads (and oreo)

 

[Pancakes]

The RIP Borgnine thread scared me at first!

Had the same reaction when I saw that thread.

Also, how the fuck do I play this crazy game? I forgot everything .

 

[thefro]

gg lads (and oreo)

It was basically the KSRF season in a nutshell

Round 1: We rolled em, DogWelder says "there's no way we're going to lose on Red" in the Mumble spectators chat
Round 2: Got rolled in embarassing fashion (other team actually capped all 8 points, which should be impossible).
Round 3: Edge out a win

 

[Oreoleo]

I take it back, I'm not sorry.

Good win tonight guys.

 

[Sianos]

Great job on our fourth win! The "hardest" map is behind us now.

Blue team has a slight advantage on C analzone: they have less points but an easier time pushing and holding.

Did you have an "outburst" and use some naughty words, Oreo? :O I kid, I kid. I'm assuming you did excellent as always.

 

[Blizzard]

Good job blue team. I'm sorry for being annoying on Mumble and mean to Oreo.

 

[AcciDante]

I take it back, I'm not sorry.

Good win tonight guys.

No need to apologize, that was some serious dumbery.

 

[MatthewB92]

Good job blue team. I'm sorry for being annoying on Mumble and mean to Oreo.

This is never allowed to be talked about again.

 

[Yasae]

This is never aloud to be talked about again.

Not aloud, at least.

 

[tangmaster96]

Not aloud, at least.

But my conscious is so.....LOUD!!!

 

[MatthewB92]

Not aloud, at least.

No only quietly.

 

[fallengorn]

Stupid cable modem crapped out and I missed the end. :\

THANKS FOR PAUSING YA JERKS!

Spoiler

Hurray us!

 

[dragonlife]

Congrats, guys.

Not aloud, at least.

So you like it quiet?

My laptop always gets really hot to the touch while it's running games. I just closed TF2 and ran Speccy, and this is the temp reading:

Is that bad?

Seems really high to me.

 

[Alienups]

That's pretty bad yeah. Running that hot ain't good for your parts and drastically shortens their lifespan. Try cleaning your laptop out with a can of compressed air.

100 degrees Celcius is the boiling point of water.

 

[sixghost]

Try elevating the laptop off the table, so that the vents aren't blocked. That helps keep my laptop from overheating.

I'm surprised it's not painfully hot. Elevating the bottom of the laptop, lowering some settings, and/or using one of those silly laptop fan cooler plates can all help.

I'm no expert but my general feeling is that anything over 60C is the danger zone for a CPU, and anything over 70-80C is the danger zone for a GPU. For short periods of time or with different parts you might get lucky (I had an old card that I'd forget to crank the fan on, and it would end up at 100C or more). But especially with a laptop, if one part goes down you are probably unlikely to be able to just swap that part, so be careful if you can.

 

[AcciDante]

After watching the other teams' demo's stream, I think we definitely only won because we were blue twice. They stomped us good when they were blue (wasn't because of the pause), and kept it relatively close when we were blue.

 

[Alienups]

I was wondering how they select maps to be used in highlander since it's pretty fucking obvious that it's an unbalanced map.

I don't think it helped that we were pretty disorganized on red. We should've played more defensively at first. But yeah, it's unbalanced.
