maybe somehow accidentally magnified?

start -> type 'display' (if your windows is english)
if it's set to 125% or 150%, then try 100%

edit: if only chrome has this issue, then this is probably not it. but if windows explorer, for example, also has the same issue, then maybe it's still worth a shot :)

i'd recommend seperate headphones + microphone.. most headsets are actually quite overpriced in terms of quality :/

but if you insist on a headset then i would definitely not get anything expensive.

do you have a budget?

i actually have the same problem, and it's only started happening recently. doesn't matter if i have 90 fps or 500 fps, it just periodically happens. i haven't uninstalled/installed/updated anything software or driver related and i haven't changed anything in my configuration files. it only happens in tf2. i'm using an SSD but since tf2 is the only game i get these short hangs/stops, i doubt the issue is my SSD?

i am getting huge red ERROR models with this mod, after the latest patch. even in sv_pure 0.

anyone having the same?

hail Harbls!

smobo's mentioned option is great in my opinion.
personally i use different configs for different loadouts, which has always worked great for me.

example: bind keys 7 through 0 to equipping loadout A-D + executing a script that supports that loadout.
in my case, when i select soldier, my 9 key becomes equipping loadout C (gunboats, RL, equalizer) and it executes soldierC.cfg.
in your case, you could do the same, and then just add a small script to soldierC.cfg (or whatever) that skips selecting slot2 with the mwheel, so your mwheel will then scroll only through slot1 and slot3.

for example, this is in my soldier.cfg:

bind 7 "exec soldier
bind 8 "load_itempreset 1;exec soldierB
bind 9 "load_itempreset 2;exec soldierC
bind 0 "load_itempreset 3;exec soldierD

(load_itempreset 0 is in soldier.cfg)

so if i select soldier, and then press 9 when in spawn, i will respawn with loadout C + execute soldierC.cfg. easy as that!

i'd recommend to create your own, to get it exactly how you like it.

almost every single mouse has a maximum speed it can keep tracking on - are you maybe going beyond this speed? (when set to 450 or 1150, the max tracking is a lot lower than when set to 2300).

since you're using 450, i fear it might just be the maximum tracking speed getting the best of you. try 2300 cpi (and lower your in-game sense accordingly) and just jump around a map for a minute, to see if you still have the same issue then?

also, why 5/11 windows pointer speed? ;p 5/11 will probably not do harm, but we all know 6/11 is the only truly flawless setting

edit: well, i guess wally beat me to it

after this update i see alot of huge red ERROR models on people their shoulders. i suppose it has to do with the no-hat mod i use. anyone else seeing these ERRORs after this patch?

devon is right unfortunately
