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 :(

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC by Sayan Sen Windows enthusiasts often look for ways to extract as much performance out of their systems as possible, and it's often the case that they try and do so while trying to minimize the heat and power consumption. This is especially relevant in the case of mobile Windows PCs since laptops and notebooks tend to get hot and management of that heat and power is harder in such a form factor. As such users often turn to techniques like under-volting which can be used to squeeze out the maximum capabilities of a chip while also maintaining lowered power levels. There are official apps from AMD and Intel with the likes of Ryzen Master and XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). While these are quite handy, most enthusiasts probably prefer to dig into the BIOS and play around with settings there like Curve Optimizer on Ryzen, which lets users set various frequency-voltage scaling values. These are essentially called P-States. If you are not familiar with them, Processor Power Management is done through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) P-states and C-states. While P-states or performance pwoer states handle CPU voltage-frequency scaling, C-states deal with CPU sleep states so that some of the CPU functions, which are not necessary at that moment, can be disabled. The P-states and C-states work together to make the processor run more efficiently. It helps the OS and apps determine which cores can be parked and which should be boosted. Of course not every user is an enthusiast or knows the technicalities and integrities of how things like overclocking or undervolting work. Thankfully for them Windows itself offers something pretty cool, though it is hidden by default on all systems. By default, Windows only has two P-States, "Minimum Processor State" and "Maximum Processor State." However, this can be changed with a Registry trick to expand the options under a secret "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown. This essentially enables the HWP or hardware P-States available on a device, and these are not controlled just by the OS itself as the underlying hardware gets involved too. In total there are five Processor Performance Boost Mode profiles that control how Windows requests and allows CPU turbo/boost behavior under the different power policies. They are: Disabled: In this mode, processor boosting is effectively turned off. The CPU will avoid entering turbo or boost frequencies and instead operate closer to its base frequency ceiling. This can significantly reduce power consumption and heat output, but at the cost of reduced burst performance and responsiveness in short workloads. Enabled: This is the standard behavior where boost functionality is allowed under normal conditions. The processor can opportunistically increase frequency when workload demands it, balancing performance gains with power and thermal constraints as managed by the system. Aggressive: Aggressive mode favors performance more heavily, allowing the CPU to enter higher boost states more readily and sustain them longer. This should in theory improve responsiveness under bursty or heavy workloads but increases power draw and thermal output compared to the default enabled behavior. Efficient Enabled: This mode still allows boosting, but with a stronger bias toward energy efficiency. The system attempts to use boost more selectively, avoiding unnecessary frequency spikes when the performance gain is marginal. Efficient Aggressive: This is a hybrid approach where boost is still performance-responsive, but the system continuously weighs efficiency more heavily than in Aggressive mode. It aims to deliver noticeable performance improvements while reducing wasted power in less demanding scenarios. Here's how to enable the Processor performance boost mode: Open Registry Editor: Press Win+R, type regedit, and click OK. Go to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 (where HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_) Modify the value of Attributes from 1 to 2 (you can find modify option by right-clicking) After that, exit Registry, you should now be able to see the new "Processor performance boost mode" dropdown menu: As you can see there are now five new P-States or CPPC states or power profile available that help define the boost mode processor setting on your PC. Wrapping it up here's a quick run-down of the settings as defined by Microsoft itself. Setting Description Disabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is disabled. Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) behaviour is disabled. Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is enabled. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Efficient Enabled The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Efficient Enabled. Efficient Aggressive The corresponding P-state-based behaviour is Efficient. CPPC behaviour is Aggressive. Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows calculates the desired extra performance above the guaranteed performance level, and asks the processor to deliver that specific performance level. Efficient Aggressive At Guaranteed Windows always asks the processor to deliver the highest possible performance above the guaranteed performance level. In the next part we shall be comparing these settings to explore how much of a benefit or regression they can provide in terms of performance and power efficiency. If you decide to change the values on your system and are experiencing problems like crashes or an overheating PC, make sure to revert the steps back to the original state.

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
