Have you tried the old trick of deleting the clientregistry.blob file and letting it remake it?

Already done that, all it does is it tries to download the updates, then fails again. I am this close to uninstalling it and reinstalling it again.

i think most pyros do that :p

someone accused me of cheating for killing a spy when he came around a corner, he soon shut up after i pointed out he ran past a sentry which didnt go off :p

i cant wait for the spy update, i'll be playing pyro 24/7 and setting everything on fire :D The demoman update on the other hand, i'll take a long time out from TF2

When is the spy update coming?

Someone got mad yesterday I was a spy, and ran up and face stabbed a demoman. he was ****ed.

Might be the best plan...although it is annoying :)

What the? I tried to uninstall it and suddenly the Steam window pops up, finishes updates and then asks if I want to uninstall Half-Life 2 :blink: . Now my Steam is working again, but I have no idea what I have done.

This was done on the server I frequent. Gotta love how they fire on "Can't Touch This" and screw up RED's feverish defense by wasting an uber :laugh:

I wasn't on then, but I caught someone doing it in Badwater Basin:

Hey, Audiobox, you need to try the GTFO servers ( http://www.gtfogaming.co.uk )

I found the skill level to be higher than Multiplay servers ;)

Yeah I quite like the GTFO servers although I'm on Wireplay the most! (DaVNiX!)

And LOL at your screenshot rm20010 :p

Well i usualy hang out on server 1 when i play, can be a pain to get on some days as the servers are SO popular. But it would be nice to see some neowin names on there some day :)

Team Fortress 2 blog update:

Makes sense now. I've always thought it was on an individual performance basis.

Leaving respawn times at their defaults keeps payload games balanced. On my frequently played server they tried fast respawn for everyone. Defense won 90% of the time, the 10% being when they really suck. Now that fast respawn has been removed, both sides have an equal chance of winning, assuming the teams are stacked evenly.

For CTF I like having fast respawn on. Makes for really long stalemates, perfect for gunning each other down repetitively. ;)

    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
