mathsadStaticVoidWell, I'm extremely excited to see Valve taking interest in optimizing the game, however, I think they should focus next on not having item servers dying everytime there is a major update :(i mean, there's not much they can do besides try to reduce downtime on the item servers. major updates for csgo and dota will also bring down their item servers for an amount of time.
and the item servers are still down for me but up for others so i have no idea whats going on there.
ya they were fucking up really weird for me earlier, I had my original but no other items for like 35 minutes
