So my friend cannot play Mann Up MVM. Every single time, he will "crash" early on Wave 2. The game will just minimize on him and refuse to come back, but he still gets audio and is unable to move or anything. It is very annoying and he's verified his files. Has anybody heard of anything dumb like this

Is it the update screen you get when you try to launch the game with the checkbox to have it launch automatically when its complete? Mine was resetting and I just clicked play game and it launched.

This is living Nobody would play them because when you load koth_badlands everybody just complains that we should play the real badlands instead. Despite it being the best koth map and having a health kit under the point!

CoolCab posted:When you're far enough away from a rocket launcher it stops drawing it as a proper circle, it becomes a simple pentagon. Has it always done that? Yep, those are known as LODs for Level of Detail. It's done to save processing time on rendering the details of something from a mile away when it's going to be a tiny blob of pixels on your screen. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Model_optimization explains it nicely and has a bunch about what models do and don't have LODs defined in TF2. As well as this nice demonstration

Magypsy posted:I think that there were files relating to a Team Spy Balaclava and Team Engineer Goggles, so I assume wearing one or the other would contribute towards either team. A team full of Soldiers and Demomen is nothing compared to one full of Spies and Engies, so they probably made those to prevent it. This is a fun idea and means I can be a true backburner pyro spy

ninjewtsu posted:I'm pretty sure defensive playing has always been a core part of the Team Fortress gameplay and not just a random thing that got thrown at the wall. It is Team Fortress after all. In pub play the engineers and medics effectively dictate the entire match. Medics control when pushes happen and engies control where they are forced to happen, and I don't think that aspect of the game is just something that's just stuck around because of grognards. I want to frame this post because it's the first time in 7 years I have seen the emphasis on Fortress and not Team.

Lobsterpillar posted:I was playing on a randomizer server today, and they've changed something since last time I played: if you spawn as an engineer and build buildings, those buildings will hang around even when you die and change class. I think that's always been the case, at least on the randomizer I play on. It's supposed to be "balanced" by the fact that you need to luck into a wrench or gunslinger to be able to upgrade stuff. Randomizer on non-koth/arena doesn't work very well though since you need to luck into being able to do something useful. QwertySanchez posted:My fondest memory of randomiser is spawning with the sticky jumper, gloves of running urgently (back when they used to deplete your health rather than just mark you for death) and the gunboats, and finding out that if the health tick killed me it counted as suiciding and made me respawn with the same loadout so I had to stand outside spawn completely still while a scout bobbed and weaved back and forth and kept completely missing me with everything he had until I finally got killed by a sniping engineer. One of the most fun runs I had was spawning as a scout with a caber and just kamikazeing into people with it, and cratering from fall damage to suicide and get the same loadout again

Magypsy posted:For those of you who like the Demoman to be about demolition and not pirates, knights or demonstrations, there's an excellent new set up on the workshop, and an amazing new stickybomb launcher. Give me a sticky where launcher detting only blows up the last sticky fired, but any other of your stickies caught in its explosion explode with it letting you get some weird in between of stock and SR.

My favorite part of super fast grapple hook mode is when you have the intel and have to wait 5 minutes for your team to kill the person with your intel so you can actually cap it. Except they never do, and after several minutes of nothing happening a vampire scout or something gets the drop on you and you die and they cap instead.

Fojar38 posted:Ways to take down a short circuit engineer: This game is 8 years old and people still think you can't discuss combat in the game without saying something like PL_UPWARD: Final point. 3 minutes and 37 seconds remain on the clock. The cart is currently just outside the final room of the map. It has 18 sconds before it begins moving backwards. RED TEAM: 1x Engineer - Shotgun, Wrangler, Jag - Level 3 sentry on top battlements by the crates. Level 3 dispenser next to it. Level 1 entrance outside spawn door. No exit. 1x Engineer - Rescue Ranger, Short Circut, Gunslinger - Dispenser next to other engineer's. Minisenty located by the medium health pack on the final point. 2x Scout - Stock loadouts 1x Medic - Overdose, Kritzkrieg, Ubersaw 1x Sniper - Machinae, Jarate, Bushwacka 1x Demoman - Base Jumper, Sticky Launcher, Caber 1x Demoman - Loch n Load, Tide Turner, Skullcutter 1x Pyro - Degreaser, Reserve Shooter, Powerjack 1x Pyro - Degreaser, Detonator, Axtinguisher 1x Heavy - Minigun, Sandvich, GRU 1x Soldier - Original, Shotgun, Escape Plan Note: The medic is pocketing the soldier exclusively. BLUE TEAM: 2x Demoman - Stock + Caber 3x Sniper - Sniper rifle, Razorback, Bushwacka 1x Medic - Crossbow, Medigun, Vita-saw 1x Soldier - Black box, Shotgun, Disciplinary Action 1x Soldier - Rocket Launcher, Concheror, Disciplinary Action 1x Heavy - Minigun, Sandvich, Fists of Steel 1x Spy - Ambassador, Sapper, Knife, Cloak and Dagger 1x Spy - Enforcer, Sapper, Knife, Dead Ringer 1x Scout - Back Scatter, Pistol, Sandman Now that we know the teams we can discuss what blue should do to push the cart and use this to address any balance issues there may or may not be with the short circuit.

IronicDongz posted:You're correct, it's odd and sorta dumb. It seems like they intended it to be a backup weapon when you're about to be killed, but... a normal shotgun is way better at that because you don't need to take the time to load it. And you won't have the spread penalty. And it's better in all other situations as well Yeah if you actually panic with it you will have to patiently wait to load it first and just get killed. If it started with 4 shots and just had a super long reload time it could be a lot more viable at least.
