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. ;)

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
