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

Team Fortress 2 blog update:

http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1872

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. ;)

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
