#5 frames. help. in Q/A Help

The max CPU and GPU temps in those screenshots aren't from a game/loaded state. Make sure HWMonitor is on during your game and check the max temperatures after you've experienced those 40FPS drops.

Do you get the same drops in a synthetic benchmark like Unigine Heaven? If you're playing in windowed mode, does switching to fullscreen mode help?

#45 Essentials.TF Labs: 133 Tickrate training servers in TF2 General Discussion
SenpaiArieI've modified 3 EU serveme.tf servers to run at 133Hz:

133Hz - BolusBrigade #1
133Hz - BeretBrigade #1
133Hz - KroketBrigade #1

Just tick "Enable plugins" when making your reservation.

is this temporary?

Depends on the results of the test. Personally, I hope people won't find 133 tick a big improvement since it will increase the CPU load on the servers and I have serious doubts that my two 12-core machines can run 133 tick all the time for 6v6, let alone 9v9.

aurahi think the trick is to switch it back to 66 tick without an announcement to weed out the placebo

It's really easy to view the server tickrate (net_graph 5 in the client), so it would be hard to do a blind test.

#2 can't connect to tf2/mumble servers (sometimes) in Q/A Help

Check if the modem has a firewall log, some go into a blocking mode if they detect portscans (even outgoing).

Whenever you open the TF2 server browser or Mumble server list, your PC will send out a bunch of UDP packets trying to get info on the servers, some stupid devices with built-in firewalls consider this port scanning and will block connections for a while.

#30 Essentials.TF Labs: 133 Tickrate training servers in TF2 General Discussion
mastercomsBut there's no point for that extra load/delay on packets being compressed.

The point is reduced transmission times and fitting all packets within sv_maxrate, it's a trade-off. The time you lose (<0.02ms) to compress a packet is gained by having to spend less time transmitting it (because it's now smaller).

I'd stick with the defaults (both client and server) over lists of TF2 client and server cvars with no data/benchmarks.

mastercomsnet_compresspackets 0 - Disables using more CPU to reduce packet size by a little bit, since they're so many packets being sent, this reduces load by a lot

We're talking kilobytes per second here, this will not cause >1% CPU load on any CPU made since TF2 was released. Also, only large packets are compressed (net_compresspackets_minsize).

#73 OH SHIT in TF2 General Discussion

Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'free' that I wasn't previously aware of.

Was excited for a little bit, thinking NA would get a free, well-run, prestigious league option to give comp TF2 a boost, instead it got slightly less expensive, which won't do much, if anything.

#20 RIP Net Neutrality in World Events
KEVCHEVthe internet belongs to the free markets not the gov

That free market was carefully carved, divided and swapped by the US telco's to create local monopolies back in the "summer of love".

Services that compete with products from your ISP will be blocked or throttled. This is not hyperbole, it has already happened wherever there are no strong net-neutrality laws, including the US as recently as 2013.

#42 Big announcement from tfcl (Free lan travel) in TF2 General Discussion
pine_beetle If you want a good stable league you're going to have to pay for it pure in simple.

#11 Bought new pc and it won't run tf2 on highest in Q/A Help

Verify your build and software installation is OK by running a benchmark like Heaven and checking your scores against similar builds.
Your build should be more than strong enough to run TF2.

all of the above accounts have the same IP address hits, and are all added to each other. Probably not the same person likely a group of friends/family. Found via a database miggy gave me access too awhile back :)

Thanks! I've banned those steam IDs and associated IP addresses.

#20 People using Miggy's passing to troll in Off Topic

They're just trolling idiots. Report and don't pay them any more attention.

Also, two of them played on serveme.tf at one point and both had static IPs. https://github.com/Arie/serveme/commit/febc44fb79e8e3abd18515380ac3baba46354378

I encourage all community projects and server owners to get rid of these idiots and find any possible alts.

#21 Shared home internet without lag and ping spikes in Off Topic
MouldWill buying a router help if our connections all look like this constantly? I know nothing about networks

this is with only 2 computers (nothing on wifi) connected to a superhub 2

If that's a graph of an idle connection, no, it will not help. If that's a graph of your connection while someone is downloading/uploading, yes, it might help.
If your connection always looks like this you might have a problem in your local setup or live in a very congested neighborhood with too many people on cable.
Don't upgrade to the superhub 3, it has the awful puma 6 chip inside
