and now it's talking about frickin "next level live updates to your fantasy football team during the games you watch on your xbox"

i feel like this is all just a really clever ruse

WHERE THE VIDEOGAMES AT
I DONT WANT A LIVE TELEVISION HALO SHOW

owned tornados
also it's been like that for a long time tagg, they want to override the sony audience of people who buy the PS3 to play movies and whatnot.

this developer OS sounds like something that could be exploited and turned into some really cool modded system. are there no longer dev consoles?

you could just fake dying as a roamer/scout, let them roll in and backstab them.

yea you spelled a lot of words wrong according to that spell check

Is there any way to kind of pre-focus where our team goes (like a team survey where it asks where you think you are, the members of your roster, etc)

I love the matchmaking as I think I've said before, I wonder if they plan on having an informational feature where individual members clarify their main class so later you can consider implementing a way to find ringers for teams too?

Also it'd be cool if they allowed teams to screen ones they're about to scrim if it's really obviously too high or low. Maybe this is already a feature, I dunno.

I do have high hopes for this site though. If it doesn't pan out I might be interested in making a tf2-specific one. Doesn't seem like the guy knows much about TF2 if the system thinks points matter in it...you should consider signing up in the mean time though. There isn't much reason not to.

if you're relying on your CPU to do a lot of work, install a program called process lasso. Unfortunately TF2 is really crumbo when it comes to utilizing all 4 cores: instead it puts the most emphasis on the first core and less on the rest.

You can download process lasso, go to options, and set it to set hl2.exe to a higher priority in options>>configure default cpu priorities.

then go to options>>configure default cpu affinities and enter hl2.exe for using all 4 cores and then enter another value, *.exe, and instead choose to let that use only cores 1 2 3 and not 0.

What this will do is set every program that isn't tf2 to use the other 3 cores while tf2 gets sole usage out of the first core, core 0. fights in particular will always cut your fps down but hopefully this will give you a really good boost.

make sure you use povohat's surfaceproperties.txt file to reduce the dust and stuff that comes from hitscan so fights wont be so laggy.

i have no idea about the 7470 in particular but you could also try changing the option "r_fastzreject" in your config to see if maybe using more of your gpu could fix things.

edit: got asked, and yea *.exe is what you enter for the affinities screen as said above. It's a wildcard character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_character) which basically means it can be any ___.exe that isn't hl2.exe. If you have any other programs that would ever need to use all four you can select that, and you can disable the feature when you don't play tf2 so it doesn't cause any problems either. It's a good fix for any computer, just not crummy ones.

Have you guys considered putting the 6v6 games on Wednesday instead of Thursday to allow a simpler transition for players to compete in it? When is the deadline for turning in game info?

Also where are the general ingame rules? I mean whitelists, specific measures to win a game, class limits...I wish there was a simpler way to find these.

I use a Leopold with brown keys and it's great. Simple design but there is a lot of feedback and a better thunk than most other keyboards and it's resilient (I've definitely stupidly dropped it many times and once on a wood floor...still works!) Also comes tenkeyless if you want and no real crazy dumb features either. Every key is individually designed as a part of the keyboard too.

unforunately a lot of the better ones don't come with macro keys, just get a numpad and then bind those. http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Bindable_keys

it's a free weekend for csgo too if you don't even have the game.

that's disappointing and reassuring.

make him put tracert ##.###.### into console (obv replacing #'s with ip address) and then see if there's a specific issue at one part of the routing that is making the ping spike to make sure its just not shitty routing

sorry! It wasn't a tf2 topic so I only checked offtopic before posting. Let this die then. Thanks for the heads up.

beaten to the punch, look at this thread
