Ah, yeah that can happen. Most of the time though the engine just hitches for a couple of seconds and returns to normal, with the proper GUI.

Yeah, that's what it does, sorta. The game does hitch up like it's trying to reload. But then it just crashes instead of resuming the game.

Egypt made me go :woot: .

That looks amazing!

That may actually pull me back into game.

That and the fact I'm getting a new computer!

If they don't include the multi-core support with this update your new computer will probably run the game as bad as the old.

As for the new maps..eh, am i the only one who thinks egypt looks kinda ugly? Hopefully it plays better than it looks.

After the beneficial effects of the radiation wear off, drinkers have reported experiencing feelings of lethargy that can last several seconds. Reading this sentence absolves Bonk! of any liability for killing sprees inspired by or deaths resulting from the ingestion of Bonk! Enjoy Bonk! responsibly? Or by the case!

Lol'd.

Updates to the Orange Box Engine have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Orange Box Engine

Fixed stats and achievements not working in Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Portal

Fixed incompatibilities with MODs

seems like a rather big-ish update for only those two..

Same. Looks too much like Dust at first glance.

Wow he is good.
Played against this dude yesterday and the team he was with was imba (all pro players, t'was a pug). He just ran through our team..

Holy crap, he's amazing with the Demoman. :omg:

Wish I could play like that :| .

Anyway, I would really like to play against Neowin members after seeing so many people commenting on it. As of right now, I don't really care about my slow connection or that fact I can't really enjoy playing it on the PX at the moment, I just felt like getting into the action, so to speak.

My STEAM ID is... wait for it... Scirwode :laugh: .

Might be sad watching the videos, but I find them entertaining ;)

Good to see he doesn't just sit there and camp. (Y)

Some things never change though eh?

I lol'd. :)

Don't know if anyone has mentioned the professional known as Reptile, I might have missed it, but if you haven't seen his movie then watch it now :o He has got to be one of the worlds best Soldiers, wish I played for Pandemic. :(

He may constantly be with a medic and have quite a few crits here and there, but you can't deny his aim or reflexes. I also hear a guy known as Frozenshift is an insanely good Soldier but I've never seen him play.

Steam: Nervex - Add me :D

Try and watch Fragga's videos, some of his airshots are just amazing (That doesn't mean he's one of the best soldiers, its just cool to see), there are quite a few soldiers better than reptile now it would seem. I personally think crits in 6v6 kind of suck, don't really want luck in competitive games.

Of course these guys aren't going to be able to pull off double and triple airshots consistantly though ;) This guy (appe) is one of the best soldiers in 6v6 leagues:

Just finished watching a video of Fragga's airshots, I have to admit, some of them are amazing, but I dont think his accuracy is as consistent as Reptile's. I agree completely, I've played a few competitive games and I hate it when situations change almost instantly, all because of one crit, on say - a medic or a well placed SG.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
