No pubber is going to be in their comfort zone for their first few 6s. Stock maps won't change that.

That argument has always been nonsense. compTF2 should use the best maps for compTF2 and pubs should use the best maps for pubs. There need not be any crossover. There is very little you'll learn about badlands, viaduct or granary on a pub will be useful for comp.

Do you consider the difficulty defending teams have pushing out of last, and the ability for the assailing team to park the bus with a heavy and sentry at spire a flaw? Or is it something players are able to learn/figure out how to overcome, and last stalemates are simply a feature of the map?

1) Viaduct was changed from the white snow to the green grass theme for good and popular reasons.
2) I don't think anyone has complained about badland's orange desert theme and a pro version needn't (and likely wouldn't) bother changing that theme.

Nothing to do with what future improvement attempts would involve.

Someone one ETF2L put it better than I might.

Browser based network test tools like pingtest.net can miss problems with your connection so aren't great for your purpose unless it's really really bad. A better tool is something like mtr (my trace route, it's a linux thing but it's so simple there's almost certainly a windows port). But you said "cable internet" which doesn't answer my question really, does your computer connect to your router/modem by wifi, or by an ethernet cable/powerline/some other type of wire?

What's your internet like? Are you on a crowded cabinet? More importantly, are you on wifi?

Old post is necro, but this map looks alright. Did the dev give up? Has anyone actually tried it?

You can hide there on blands last? :o

timedemo benchmark1 (from that benchmarking thread) gives 136 fps with 6 fps variance, up from 104 fps with 10 fps variance. But it's fixed now.

I hope you weren't thinking I literally have a dedicated server instance running on my machine to connect to and knew I was hitting "create server" in the main menu. But regardless, I threw that command in my cfg in the hopes of preventing that again.

So then, what caused it? I restarted my game 4 times while trying to fix it and it persisted through the restarts.

Is it a broken map? After moving to cp_reckoner then cp_badlands, the maps were rendering in fullbright, but restarting the server fixed that too. Is it the config?

Edit: Also host_timescale 1.0 was already there from the start.

Edit: After more testing, it seems to be the map. Good thing tr_juggle_final looks like a working update.

WTF? This fixed it? (was busy fixing the no-bots-spawning problem)

sv_allow_point_servercommand always

I installed rayshud minimal and comangila's high end max fps config last night and saw an awesome fps boost with no trouble.

But today, starting up tr_rocket_shooting, it's like the game is on fast forward, or is on a higher than 66 tick rate. The round clock runs fast. I walk, shoot and fall too fast. Just a little, but enough to be very noticeable.

Only on local servers though. No problem in mge or pubs.

I've tried -autoconfig -default in launch options. I've tried looking for anything that would set the game to higher than 66 tick rate. Never seen anything like this problem before, and I've no idea where to begin.

Btw I run linux.

I felt like shit waking up this morning. This news was better than any caffeine. My day has already been made.

Yo don't actually listen to me I don't play sniper.

IDK how 75/20 ends up as 1:1, but I guess zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1.0 uses a ratio of 75:20
