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.

    • 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.
    • <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...
