For the topic at hand though this is what I'd like to see a DDS do

+25HP
-80% afterburn duration maybe higher (would make afterburn last about 2s)
-50% explosive knockback

idk making it more of pyro counter/juggling counter makes it a whole lot less toxic but still useful than it currently is.

Hi, real sniper main here.
Assuming everything was unbanned for HL I'd run DDS
For 6s I'd run Cozy Camper

that is all.

-edit-
I guess I'll give an actual explanation.
HL is slower paced and your major threats as sniper are Sniper, Spy, Scout/Soldier with the sniper being the main threat making the DDS a no brainer, plus you get more health and more health from packs so even with the extra explosive damage it's not really a downgrade.
6s your main threats are a scout and soldier maybe a sniper but tbh most scenarios a scout or soldier will get you first so having health regen and steady aim makes Cozy Camper a obvious choice.

Have had same issue in both DX 8 and 9, been going on for the last week maybe? Usually engineers for me, I can only see their gun actually lol.

lol

Glad to see you got unbanned remedy looking forward to seeing you again on skial badwater sometime.

^what sola said

without using unsigned drivers you have really really shitty max tracking speeds with older mice

125Hz for WMO 1.1a and IME 3 you got about ~1m/s for your max tracking speed
500Hz or 1000Hz for those mice you got about ~1.8m/s for your max tracking speed

for reference https://youtu.be/0vO0IKY-0ig?t=15s
when I'm flicking back and forth their to see where the soldier is I'm moving my mouse around 2.5-3 m/s then again I was using a 20.5in(53cm)/360. I know when I was playing soldier with that sensitivity doing rocket jumps I'd regularly hit 3.5m/s or higher.

using those mice without overclocking them is nigh impossible for anything much slower than a 7in (18cm)
about the only way you could is if you used acceleration at this point and tbh source accel for the most part blows.

Some mice max tracking speeds I know
g400 ~3.8m/s
g400s ~4.5m/s
g303 ~7m/s (might be higher I can't move my mouse much faster than 6m/s without pretty much throwing it)
zowie fk ~3.5m/s
Zowie EC2-a benq ~5.5m/s

measured with a steelseries qck XXL

I'm going to assume if remedy was cheating it was more of the "for the lulz" kind of situation, that or he was using cheat engine to hack some other game like dungeon defenders 1/2 (see his recently played) and left cheat engine opened. The only other option I would think of is that he wanted to get vac banned so he would never play again.

I also don't watch B4nny stream that often was curious if anyone has any specifics.

are these the logs of corsa "...not doing anything."?

obviously their's nothing specific here but the 1st half looks pretty damn good, and the 2nd half looked alright.

Depends on the router, but usually you can setup QoS.

Truth

TF2 in 2008 had 0 multi-threading support. The game actually ran worse than tf2 just before the tough break update was passed through not so sure how tf2 compares to today but it's reasonable to believe it's just as good or better now.

to be fair of any of the class setups Soldier is probably the only class that you could have 7 or 8 (with medic being the remainder 1 or 2) of in a 9v9 format and still have a chance at beating a HL team. For a 6v6 format I'd like to think a balanced team would win, but if I had to pick a class that could win while being over populated I'd slightly lean towards soldier with scout not being that far behind.

It's quite sad that Kevin is willing to pay, or do all/most of the leg work to get these out and he still has only got 7 POVs in the last year, and there hasn't been one in 4 months...

I don't use a FPS cap and if I did it would be around 999 to avoid the timing issue.

My notes on my config were a reflection of when ever I tried using FPS caps I felt like I was be inhibited the entire time I was playing. It always happened to me regardless of using a 60Hz IPS or 144Hz TN. Which led to my reasoning that FPS caps should be used either to achieve more consistent temperatures for your CPU (mostly laptops) or to prevent the speed issue at over 1000fps. Honestly I'd rather deal with my variable FPS that's consistently over 220 in HL mid fights with no cap at all than have a 220/250/300 cap that being said some people do prefer a fps cap cause they're basically guaranteed the same experience of input at all times, even if it's technically worse.

it's a whole lot easier to boil water and also heat your house... or when you take a hot shower instead of turning on the air vent put a box fan by the door and have it blow through your house/apartment.
