Who cares if it works or not if I can't spam voice commands? :<

Mine hasn't stopped working. In fact I've put in many a TEEF hour this week.

Might be worth verifying files and checking drivers are current, etc.

That team of people dedicated to fixing Gunslinger's problems is obviously not earning their wages.

The required Team Fortress 2 update is now released. Please run
hldsupdatetool to receive this update. The specific changes include:

- Added Custom Tab explanation dialog to be shown the first time the
server browser is opened
- Changed Medigun Ubercharge meter to drain faster for each target that
still has Ubercharge beyond your current target. This means there is a
penalty for having multiple people being Ubercharged at one time
- Fixed crouch-jump exploit that allowed players to get outside of the
world
- Fixed bad characters in the chat string when achievements are
announced in languages other than English
- Fixed a few instances of truncated text in the menus and dialogs for
languages other than English
- Fixed problem that was preventing some dedicated servers from
uploading gamestats
- Fixed scoring bug during Sudden Death when the map timelimit is
triggered
- Added the string "(extra slot was added for SourceTV)" when maxplayers
is increased for SourceTV

This was bound to be fixed, a good medic was rather useful with the multi-uber. I thought it worked quite well, they still couldn't capture a point.

I predict a rollback.

Dedicated servers are crashing as soon as anyone joins them. Valve FAIL.

Post by **HereComesPete** » April 30th, 2008, 1:49

I guess I'll update it, not that I play anymore.

The new achievements, weapon and map are rather fucking fun. Much more than CoD that is.

Post by **FatherJack** » April 30th, 2008, 10:34

Think I'll wait til next week if it's a bit buggy. Also, is everyone basically a medic now?

new map is fun, new achievements are... impossible. or very hard at least.

anyone tried achievement_unlock_all yet?

Post by **HereComesPete** » April 30th, 2008, 17:04

I have seen no buggy at all.

I got quite a few records defending the final bomb capture point, medic and I as a heavy casually cut a swathe through about 8 people hunched behind the bomb truck. I enjoyed it all over again and we should play.

I have two medic achievements so far. some of them re pure fluke or being a cheaty bugger, like healing a guy in mid-air so when he hits the ground he doesn't die. Others are super easy, getting ubercharge before the round starts gives an achievement.

I have. I got bored of running around with a bonesaw trying to hit medics after about the eleventh.

Yes they are and bloody annoying it is too! I like playing medic (cos I'm a shit shot) but now I connect to a server only to find 7/12 medics. Should have given other classes unlocks at the same time to avoid this.
Goldrush is win btw.

The quick go I had last night was a bit lame with at least 50% medics on each side. And many people I came across were uber'd, which was annoying.

The new map is quite nice though, but I couldn't play long because it was annoying.

Post by **deject** » May 1st, 2008, 14:44

the kritzkreig is insane really, especially if it's used on a good demoman. it's also not that apparent that someone is using the kritzkreig, so I think they need to tweak that somewhat.

Post by **HereComesPete** » May 1st, 2008, 15:10

That's the grant critical damage instead of invulnerability whilst the ubercharge is running isn't it?

The super syringe gun is a fucking 'mare too. I've been shot apart by people using that and steadily regaining their health as a result. So I've put a lot of time in recently as a heavy, that many medics means it's quite hard for me to die.
