So am i the only one who's quickly growing kinda tired of how this game's based purely on luck due to how there's absolutely no consistancy whatsoever in weapon damages, with how every hit you take or give is a random dice roll on if you live or they die?

Can't say I am. Yes there is an element of luck with the crits and stuff but I haven't particularly noticed weapon damage inconsistency.

The latest update changed how damage was done, before you had a variable range of 25% (25% more or 25% less), now that's 10%. Random crits are now less likely, but normal crits are more based on your recent performance.

Also, the soldier now has 20 rockets instead of 16.

As do I.

@Anaron - Have you tried turning the "Multicore Rendering" setting to disabled? I've heard certain configurations do not like running in Multicore mode.

I've always left that option enabled. I'll give it a try though.

Wow. valve musta read my mind. Perhaps now what should kill someone will actually have a chance to kill them, instead of leaving them with half health while you die from the same amount of hits that you dealt to them.

I also notice they re-did the slowdown code for natascha. I guess the slowdown was indeed not 100% like i thought it wasn't.

I hated the day they reduced the amount of ammo the Demoman has, maybe they'll give him a few more stickies? Please? Purdy please???

Ugh. Sticky spam is annoying enough as is. This coming from a spam happy demoman. (and a trigger happy pyro :p )

His current ammo count is enough to take down fully fortified buildings and a few enemies in one swoop before requiring a resupply.

I'm looking, looking... looking.... and not seeing it. The SG is in a no-build zone?

Sentry aside, Look at the hud. Notice i'm on blue, yet everything is red when it should be blue. Even the names on mouseover of teammates.

Yea. I've only seen it a couple of times myself. But when i do it kinda confuses me a little cause i'm like... "wait, i thought i was blue" and i still am but my hud says otherwise.

Edit: ^There's a command to fix that? I didn't know that. I'll have to keep that in mind.

I've had a bug where I sometimes lose the HUD altogether whenever I move to the other team, or tab into Windows and back again. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Source games don't handle tabbing well at all, it can cause strange glitches like that (in my case every member on my team had the ubercharge texture and was stuck in the reference pose, everybody on the other team was invisible)

Never had it when changing teams though.

It happens with me though, so whenever a control point is being taken away, I have no idea which one it is simply because I cannot see it :laugh: !

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
