#25 check your match times in TF2 General Discussion
breloomsleepwalkerESEA may have a bug so double check you match times etc, but storing the match times in UTC is fine. UTC won't change with daylight savings, it's our offset to UTC that changes with daylight savings time.

In the summer, the eastern time zone is EDT which has an offset of -4 from UTC. In the winter, the eastern time zone is EST which has an offset of -5 from UTC.

Now, ESEA may have screwed something up, but using UTC is fine. And I agree DST is stupid.
the utc time doens't change

I agree, it doesn't change. It's our offset that changes, which is what I was saying. The offset is the number of hours to subtract from UTC to get your local time.

It does cause the match time to move, which does seem like a nasty bug. I guess the web site needs to have your timezone when you schedule the match, look at the date of the match and use the right offset. This weeks scheduling should have been made with the -5 offset, but it sounds like it was using the -4. It is a little bit of a tricky problem.

I was thinking about this more, and it would cause the match time to move. It is a bit of a hard problem, since not everyone observes daylight savings - and their times wouldn't move. Although most of the US does.... anyways :)

If this is primarily for roll outs, disable the push away for the first 5-10 seconds of each round? Allow time for players to get out of spawn, and away from each other - but reenable it before they get to mid.

Just a thought, in case totally disabling the push away changes too many other things.

Having a family limits the amount of time I can play. But, family > tf2 :)

#18 tf2 crashing computer in Q/A Help

I had the same issue, black screen and sound loop, running in DX8 fixed it for me also. It's ugly, but it no longer crashes hourly.

I have a Nvidia gtx 265. There are only certain nvidia cards that were affected. If other people are seeing crashes on other cards, it may be some new bug that is manifesting itself in the same way.
