I think we're getting a massive update, both spy and sniper.

I agree, it will be kind of funny though to see the servers full of spies and snipers hunting achievements :p

On another note though, anyone think that second watch is a bit OP? Stand still for indefinite AND recharging cloak? You could edge your way into the enemy base without ever having to uncloak.....you could cloak to get away from an enemy and not have to worry about your cloak running out as long as they aren't heading in your direction.

I have a feeling the spy is only getting one of those watches....why would he get two unlocks for the same item when one of them is so powerful it is identical to the normal cloak watch, but it ONLY drains when your moving?

Maybe it drains twice as fast as the current one?

Meh, who knows......the way valve just played everyone its hard to tell. o.O

EDIT: Also, the update release was delayed by 2 days, long enough to reveal 2 more spy unlocks along with the rest of the package (last sniper unlock, 2 spy unlocks and a meet the team video or something for the final day).....which only goes to support the dual-class update theory even more.

EDIT2: Even more evidence of a dual-update:

The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks.
Updating 2 classes at once would definitely be quite a large update.

EDIT3: Then again, the second watch says its the "Cloak and Dagger" watch, which means maybe you lose the loss of your revolver AND sapper when you use it.....making you better at backstabbing and getting around unseen but making it impossible to deal with engies, anyone backed into a corner and anyone chasing you down.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
