Take note:

Multiple reports from people state resetting your stats DO in fact reset some achievements. Any achievement you have not earned yet, but are in the process of earning, such as Pyromancer, will be reset to 0.

Just a fair warning to everyone.

The whole random attribute thing thats in there was in the game since the scout update (and possibly before that even)......though I have a feeling this is something they will be adding considering you can delete items "permanently" I'm sure there will be a way to earn them back.

Oh, snap. We might see grenades in Team Fortress 2.

I doubt it, they have stated on many occasions that they will not be adding TFC-style grenades to TF2......chances are the grenades refer to demo-specific items or there just left over from some testing.

I found out the hard way. :cry:

As already said I'm sceptical with what Valve are reportedly adding to the game. We'll just have to see how it pans out. Hopefully it'll work out well as I don't play many games at the moment. TF2 was the one I was really in to :p

Agreed.....I actually wouldnt mind a system with random drops as long as they are balanced and offer different combinations than the original weapons and unlocks. TF2 is one of the few games I've been playing recently and in all honesty they would really have to botch whatever it is their doing to drive me away from it.

random.. hats.

Am I reading this right!? What in the world is valve DOING!

I'm sure Valve has a better idea of what their doing than you think.....remember, their professional developers who have a reputation of releasing good games/content. Don't judge until the content arrives.

I can't seem to keep the Model Detail setting to medium. Every time I set it, play, quit the game, then launch it again, it goes back to High. Anyone else having this problem? And, any solution for it?

Are you using any launch options like -dxlevel? If so then remove it because it resets your video settings each time.

Hunted is cool yeah! :D

I hope they'll bring use more Payload maps too. Great gametype imo!

By the looks of things, they haven't finished that "competitive payload" mode yet. (the weird map in the background of the Scout Bonk teaser page)

Can anyone explain what the backpack/head stuff is?

And can anyone say, reset stats? I missed that.

Yeah I wouldn't mind resetting a few of my stats, my medic points got screwed over when I went to an achievement server. I don't want to reset everything though so I guess I'll just have to put up with it :(

    • 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...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
