The formula is TF2 accel = Quake accel x FPS / 1000.

Your amount of accel is influenced by your current FPS so unless you have a max fps set in place and a decent computer your real accel will be constantly changing by a small amount.

Sounds like the problem is with DX8. A few weeks ago I would crash whenever someone joined the server and the only way I found to fix it was to change to playing on DX9. Also mat_viewportscale seems to be bugged as well, if it's not at 1 all I can see is a giant checkerboard on my screen.

Sounds like you might need to be playing with shitty FPS until TF2 gets patched.

Try deleting your TF folder and put -autoconfig in the launch options and remove all your other launch options that don't have to do with resolution. You can re-add these afterwards (if this works, of course) to try and find what the problem was.

If the default settings don't work then the problem is more likely your hardware or a third party program. Is this problem solely with TF2? Can you check if this happens with other games, or more specifically Source games?

Depends on your definition of "somewhat populated". Unless you're playing with friends or in an IRC pug channel at peak hours, it's very unlikely to find an NA populated CPMA or Warsow server.

That being said, they're both fun if you can get friends to play with you. If you're into dueling you can find opponents pretty easily in Warsow. The problem is that the people who duel Warsow regularly are people who will fucking tear you up. I can only duel against Lo and Dodson a few times before I begin to cry.

The Spider-Waffle HL speedrun linked is probably my favorite. I really like this RTCW speedrun as well.

Last day sale is today, involves all the previous weekly sales.

Baldur's Gate 2
Planescape: Torment
Neverwinter Nights

Fallout 2
The Witcher
Deus Ex
Half-Life
Total Annihilation (for nostalgia's sake)

Couldn't really pick one.

The premise sounds like Natural Selection with ships. It sounds cool, but going off these screenshots alone - it looks way too cluttered. Is there any customization in that aspect? The bottom third of your screen is reserved for all your ship information, the top third is chat and location, and then the middle is just a clusterfuck of information.

Super with mj, low with everyone else.

Just got an email and figured it's worth sharing. Almost every game on GOG is on sale for up to 50% off right now. It basically functions similar to the Steam holiday sale where there is daily deals that are 50-75% off and then there's general sales on all other titles.

Duke Nukem 3D is free on their site if you get it within the next day.

Sounds really nice, this is something I'd listen to. I agree with justus though that some of the transitions are pretty abrupt.

Best in the world.
