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: !

    • 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.
