Hi. Ask ANYTHING TF2-related here.
pls use search function to see if your question has already been answered.
Why did I make this thread?
-To reduce the number of help threads that only have 3 posts in them.
-To reduce the number of help threads with undescriptive titles, such as "how do i fix this?"
-To encourage people, especially newcomers, to ask questions. Believe it or not, I've had people tell me that posting on tf.tv can be intimidating. I don't blame them, especially with this community. (no offense)
-Because making an entire thread to ask a simple question is silly.
Why do I care?
-I frequently read and post on tf.tv. I hate it when the sidebar has too many simple question threads with only a few posts in each of them.
Disclaimer: In case anyone gets offended and thinks "LOL this kid thinks he's good at TF2 and can answer questions", I am asking people to post their questions here so that anyone can answer them.

-Is there a way to have more than one "real" (non-hud) xhair on your screen at once? If so, how?

I mean you can have achievement panel crosshairs that are toggleable but you cannot have more than 1 ingame crosshair if that's what you're asking.

Has anyone tried use vaccinator (banned in EU, but not in NA)? It could theoretically help hold last at a disadvantage when you know you aren't going to get uber in time. Haven't ever seen or personally tried it so I'm ignorant about this.
Also, why isn't black box used more in 6s when it's used a lot in highlander? Again, not saying it should be used, just wondering about the reasoning.
Also, whats the reasoning behind banning the reserve shooter and the whip in ESEA?
These are things I've always wondered, but never thought were important enough for their own thread.

That movement got him a ban on etf2l (Apparently it was ~1000apm and the ac team thought that was inhuman). He contested the ban and won but having that kind of parkinson movement could get you in trouble 8)

I always thought just "counting" APM was stupid. It's more like 2 actions being done repeatedly, he's just spamming them. If he was conciously thinking about which strafe key to press and for precisely how long, then they would be separate actions.

Even then ~16 key presses per second are surely impressive

i remember a bust video showing +moveleft and +moveright were still flipping back and forth in a consistent pattern even when he was respawning, cant find it right now.

because pocket doesnt really need the extra heals per shot, and its hard to bomb and only have 2 rockets to deal damage as roamer.

Wirelessfox succesfully used it last season in IM playoffs to defend last after they wiped at mid. I've also seen a few teams run it if both meds die at mid. It has it's uses but isn't very good after the initial surprise use of it.

Black box is amazing on gullywash, and I've started running it on coalplant. It's totally viable but it makes bombs a lot less effective.
PowerofTowerAlso, whats the reasoning behind banning the reserve shooter and the whip in ESEA?
Reserve shooter, I dont know. I guess it would be really easy to deny jumpers with it but I don't think it should be banned. The whip basically forces each team to run it to mid, because if you don't you'll be at a huge disadvantage.

I've made a separate thread for this problem but it couldn't hurt to post it here.
When the Scream Fortress 2013 update came out yesterday my TF2 was fine, but today my TF2 is now giving me 20 frames or less on every map I go on and I'm out of ideas on how to fix the issue.
So far i've tried: verifying my game cache, re-installing the game, running the game without my HUD and configs, disabled and enabled multicore rendering, run in dx8 and 9 (9 is what I run the game in by default anyway), running in windowed mode, checked dx levels 80-98, changed all my graphics settings in options from the reccomended settings to the ones on the fps config aswell as changing options on the nvidia control panel, enabled and disabled vsync, running in windowed mode, tried out every fps config from chris, defragging the TF2 files.
None of these fixes have worked for me so far. So if anyone can give me some suggestions i'd be very grateful.
Should also note that before this error I was getting around 200-400 frames but now I get around 100 on spawn then as I head outside into battlements/rest of the map my frames get lower than 20

If reinstalling and running without any of your custom stuff, AND starting the game with -autoconfig as a launch option (remember to back up) doesn't fix it, try doing a basic reinstall steam. To do this without having to reinstall every game you have, exit steam, then delete everything in your steam folder besides steam.exe, steamapps, and userdata. Then run steam and let it do its thing.
