There's another update, but no release notes yet. Maybe this is to fix the bomb cart bug?

Yeh I saw my TF2 updating, but no new release notes :p

Had a looksee on the interwebz, found this:

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Team Fortress 2

* Fixed overheal particle effect showing up incorrectly on disguised or cloaked spies

* Changed the achievement tracker to only be available in Team Fortress 2

* Added new teleporter sounds for upgrade levels 2 and 3

* Fixed engineers being able to upgrade the bomb cart's dispenser found in Payload levels

* Fixed bomb cart's dispenser being solid to players and projectiles

Looks like no more dispensers on carts :rofl:

I miss the level 3 bomb cart.

Interesting things landed in one of the updates (people just noticed a few days ago), There's now a red bomb cart (to go with the blue one) and a silver intel case, no team assignment (king of the hill style gameplay?)

I wonder how many people are playing this on the 360. I just don't have a PC that's capable of doing too much in the terms of modern games anymore (Athlon64 3700+, 128mb 6600GT)

Upgrade (Y) You get more updates for the PC version and much more people playing.

So you suggest spending a few hundred bucks to play one game? Yeah, no. I'm good, thanks.

You sure TF2 won't run on your rig in lower settings?

The source engine is vary scaleable.

As for TF2 console vs PC, don't even go there. Not only does the console version lack all the content of the PC version, it just sucks in comparison.

I'd give the game a go on your rig next time their is a free weekend (Y)

The idea is, I'm more or less done with PC gaming. Dealing with drivers and graphics settings just became annoying. This is the only game, and maybe Day of Defeat and The Ship, that I would ever want to play on the PC and it's not worth the investment.

To each his own.

Use low settings, low resolution. You won't regret it ;).

That's the problem, though. Why should I have to deal with lower quality graphics? That's why I got out of PC gaming. I loved Valve games, but I couldn't afford to keep up with the hardware and I couldn't stand to deal with sub-par graphics.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
