I have actually done production in the past. It does not "fuck your config." He just repeatedly failed to put his prec folder back in at the same time he put his normal config back in.

He was not banned for cheating. He was banned for not recording demos. RGL is being completely consistent in enforcing that rule.

Your assertion that anyone would stop worrying about being asked for demos FOR THE FOURTH TIME is ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Theyre not "wildly different scenarios," exactly the opposite, they're consistently enforcing their own rules that are the fucking basis for their anticheat system after giving multiple warnings. No joke, you people either really can't read or are insane. Maybe "have some empathy" with the admins who will get a bunch of shit when they have to enforce this rule again in the future.

I have never ever ever ever heard of casters or producers getting special treatment and being allowed to repeatedly break rules before now, it boggles my mind that you think they should be.

this thread is wild. antlers runs production. he knows what he's doing. it's literally a 10 second process to swap out production configs. being forgetful is understandable but if you've had multiple warnings thats just fucking tough luck. if he quits over this that's hilarious; it's entirely his own doing.

my 5g conspiracy brain says you people want to/do cheat and are actively trying to weaken the ruleset so you can do it more easily

You're effectively claiming it makes sense to use global data to determine downtime windows for just the US (European servers have been up this whole time according to steamstat). I'm not seeing any charts that differentiate by location.

I think I remember something about clients needing to ping Valve servers for validation and automatically disconnecting if they can't.

Why do the servers require "maintenance" on a weekly basis? Why do all the servers have to go down at once? Why does Valve think it's a good idea to perform maintenance at the exact time people are getting home from work to play games, instead of early in the day?

Games like Eve Online managed to figure out how to run with little to no downtime, why can't Valve?

why in the almighty fucking heavens would anyone still respond to anything this asshole says. man is linking a fucking gigantic list of commands with barely any context like it's helpful somehow

like do you actually find him funny or?

i wish i lived in a world where valve gave a rat's ass about sourcemod

ok so years in, there's still no visible progress on the bot situation other than... making them very slightly less offensive. k thx valve. meanwhile they've effectively nuked community servers for now, so even the ones that people have put up have bots in them. also they're taking down mods.

i just want to be able to enjoy a game ive spent hundreds of dollars on, is that so hard

oh and i just watched a bot change its name to another player's

so this is either broken, or not what it sounds like and completely inconsequential

Am I understanding correctly that we can no longer see if someone left due to timeout, on purpose, or by ban? That is often useful information. Why do this?

I Love Downfragging People Because They Say What I Dont Want To Hear

They don't lose money on people playing HL tributes. HDTF is $10 on Steam, so they actually make money off that garbage. If people go to play improved versions of TF2 they aren't being forced to stare at crate roulette; Valve can't have that.

It's sad that there are any longtime members of the TF2 community, and especially the competitive subset, that think Valve sees TF2 as anything more than a casino from which it can leech money by adding more hats. These mods remove the main source of income in TF2, so it's extremely unlikely they're interested in incorporating them into the main game.

In all likelihood, they utilize leaked source code and Valve isn't cool with that. Why else would it be necessary to suspend new downloads? The reason twitter says "temporarily suspended" is imo because they're still figuring out the legalese of these mods existing. Until one of these mod devs explicitly come out and say otherwise, you are just setting yourselves up for yet another disappointment by believing anything else.

this man derails literally every single thread he posts in with nonsense jargon and people are still like

He has spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to ruin the mastercomfig thread with page after page of people trying to interpret his bullshit. permaban him for fuck's sake.
he's just a tf2 version of this guy and somehow you people haven't figured it out yet

Wow. I've never had anyone so blatantly ignore what I said, invent a strawman, and go for that instead. Incredible.

lol and I didnt even get to vote on the poll, fuck it mang

Adding my voice to those complaining about autobalance. It's incredibly annoying: it happens too often, it is disorienting to switch colors so frequently, and it is both capable of happening invisibly between lives, and of killing you mid life. I am so sick of dying mid jump and mid fight for no reason.

Even worse is that balance is a total non issue in DM, both in practice and in a more literal sense. In practice because even if you're getting steamrolled, you respawn so quickly that you will still get into fights alongside your teammates, get good practice and accrue kills--and then literally, because neither team wins in DM, making the entire concept of team balance irrelevant. Just remove it altogether, please.

this is the only conspiracy theory i believe

What Is Project ??
