Look at the release date.

Ah right, since the original.

I thought you meant it was the 1 year birthday of TF2 :)

But anyway, in regards to the original being 12 years old, time still flies :p

My bets are on a Wrench that makes things build and upgrade faster, but does 25/50% less damage.

It would help encourage offensive engineers while making spies more deadly, as most engineers will try and wrench a spy rather than switch to thier shotgun.

I think we can expect a totally different weapon to replace the shotgun if the Flaregun and Sandvich are anything to go by, what they'll do with the Pistol i'm not sure, maybe another pistol that leeches the victims ammo on hit and gives the engineer a small amount of metal?

The classes chosen so far have been Support->Offence->Defence so i think we'll probably be seeing the Spy get his unlocks next, with maybe a homage to the guy that created the Spy hoax page.

I've read this mentioned before, and I think it's one of the safest bets for now.

The wrench is quite powerful for melee, it can take out a Spy in 2 hits usually, sometimes 1 if you crit.

And what you said is right, many engineers run around trying to wrench a Spy rather than some shotgun blasts.

im looking to get the unlock for 'play with 7 steam friends' so if you wanna help out then please feel feel free to join my server 208.122.53.178:27015 its gametracker enabled and we normally have people in getting unlocks and just having fun.

I'll be in the server for the most of the evening

added to my favourites too, hope to catch you online sometime and get the Steam friends achievement myself. :)

Anyone know a console command to turn off the big info bubbles at the start of the round?

I mean I've put over a 100 hours into TF2, I don't need a big ass balloon blocking my vision for 20 seconds explaining the game mode.

One of the admins on my server was talking about it. Basically a file notates how many times you play a map and after 50 times it will disappear. Most of the messages i'm guessing are on the new maps. Here is the answer to your question from a Gamespot thread.

Ohh thank god I fixed it. For anyone who would like these annoying messages gone:

"go to

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\XXXXXXXXX\team fortress 2\tf\media

open "viewed.res" with notepad

change the view number to "50" or higher on each map."

The multiple x's represent your steam name.

I'm guessing the next update will be the spy. They said the goal of the update is to get more people to play the least-played classes. According to this scout is the least played, followed by spy. Since the updates so far have been support-offense-defense, I'm guessing the next one will be a support class, ie. The Spy.

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
