take a look in your "tf" folder. Delete the backup Lawena zip files like you see at the bottom in the screenshot. They contain backups of all files that can be found in "tf > cfg" and "tf > custom". Those cause the "files not replaced due to backup folders still present" error.

move all the files in your "custom" folder to a new folder on your desktop so your custom folder is empty, then start Lawena and see if it can start tf2 without the 120 seconds error. If it has to back up less files it should take less long. Afterwards you can simply put the files you put on your desktop back in custom where they belong

If this doesn't fix the issue then the issue might be Lawena itself just not working on your PC for some reason I don't know

Doubt I'll be able to help you with anything if the advice I've already given doesn't work. I never really encountered any of the issues you've had and I'm not that familiar with Lawena

You can try redownloading Lawena in case you have an outdated version. I doubt redownloading TF2 is necessary

every time Lawena loads its own config it backs up your own config in a zip file in your tf folder. My backup zip files never delete properly, but I haven't had any issues with them still being there and I just delete them when 10 or so pile up. Take a look in your tf folder and remove the zip files if they're still there

Also I'd recommend backing up your own config somewhere else as well before you start TF2. Friend of mine lost his entire config because of Lawena having trouble replacing the configs with the original ones again

Never encountered the 120 seconds issue, but maybe this'll fix that as well.
If not: Maybe it just takes too long to back up your config because it's too big of a file? It usually says so when your cfg files are too big to back up but maybe you don't get the error message for some reason. Try placing your cfg files in Custom elsewhere before starting Lawena. Maybe that helps

the HUD still needs some updating for MM and Valve changes the HUD elements every other day.
I suggest using Improved Default HUD for playing MM until rayshud is updated properly

Ask in his stream. A lot of his viewers use it and there's a pastebin for it which I lost long ago. Maybe his bot even has a command for it. Not sure

You could even just make it yourself:
Google sites that turn images into text
convert raysFox to text
put "echo" in front of every line of text
then put it in your autoexec

Probably to avoid people from falling for the OP post. He posted the comment first, then edited because he realized it was for the best to edit the OP post and you can't remove comments yourself. he doesn't want anyone to fall for what's looking like something shady if they just so happen to not read the rest of the thread

@ConsoleWarsGamer could you post the steam profile of the owner in the thread again? Just to avoid them doing shit like this again in the future (without making new alts at least) and maybe someone will recognize the profiles and will be able to clear some stuff up. Maybe they've done shady stuff before

Works fine. I have an old laptop as well and did a test with random clips from some newbie mix. Quality is fine and I did basically exactly what's written in the thread here except I changed some settings to render in 60 fps in Sony Vegas

But like bearodactyl said it does take longer to record. I have nothing to compare it to so not certain what the difference is, but you'll have time to get a drink while recording (depending on the length of the clip you want), come back and still have plenty of time left before you can stop recording

Also do yourself a favor and don't have your headphones on while recording. It'll keep looping the same bit of audio over and over while it's recording (but the audio WAV it gives you afterwards is fine)

I started using the cozy camper 99% of the time ever since they removed the extra damage taken. Recent buff was not needed. Reverting that buff and making it always regen 1hp again is okay imo but maybe I'm a bit biased because I use it so much and an extra downside is needed. People weren't complaining about it before the recent buff though so I think that'd be fine with most people

I'd probably give the DDS +15% explosive resist instead of bullet resist. You'd die to other snipers, but you can take a bit more spam when you're peaking for a pick but it's not chargin' targe ridiculous levels.
The logic behind the DDS is the main problem "I can't sniper v sniper so I'm going to use the DDS" and then the other snipers just switch to the DDS as well and it's even again except sniper v sniper is more aids

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198126719007 found this guy hacking in a pub. He also hacks in centers
https://tf2center.com/profile/76561198126719007

Already reported him on skial and on tf2c with a demo i recorded. but he might be playing centers today before he gets banned so be on the lookout for him, I guess

edit: banned on skial now. He played a center today. http://logs.tf/1246972?highlight=76561198126719007

there is no ultimate "hardest" e-sport. All genres and all seperate games have gameplay mechanics that can't be compared. Some games require teamwork and communication which other genres don't. For example MOBAs vs fighting games. But fighting games can be much more complex mechanically. You can't compare the two

There is no objective answer to this question

Heard good things about HyperX Cloud as a headset

If headphones + mic is also an option you can try Superlux HD-668B headphones
for mics the most standard thing is the Zalman ZM-MIC 1

mwheelup: slot1
mwheeldown: slot2
e: slot3

j: alias that switches mwheeldown and e in case I switch between pocket/roamer/razorback sniper/smg sniper/etc

Using mousewheel is kinda meh, but I don't feel like changing my binds anymore

If it's just a couple of elements you want centered you can probably just center them yourself using Improved Default HUD. It's just editing some x and y values until you like how it looks
