ok so I play TF2 randomly, but have really gotten interested lately. How can I find out my achievements and/or how much more I need to unlock things etc.. So I know what to work towards?

Click on "Achievements" in the main menu to check your, well... achievements. It's under "Character Info and Setup". ;)

Anyway, the Team Fortress 2 forums are quite slow. I assume a lot of people are over there to find out about the update's precise release time.

Like me! F5 spam, FTW!

EDIT: Ok, my index finger is numb. No more F5 tonight, I'm going to bed!

There is supposed to be a free to play day for this game, right? I preloaded this game but it wants me to purchase it. How can I play it for free this weekend?

Yes. The free weekend starts Thursday (today). It's only 8:03 PM EST right now. It's possible that it'll start later tonight, before 12:00 AM EST.

Got the update at 1.2mb/s, seems ok so far although it's a bit hard to play while being sniped or backstabbed :p

Atleast you can play. I managed to get it to download the update after 20mins of spamming it to do it, then when i get into the game i can't do anything else cause it wont connect to steam.

Sigh.. such fail steam is.

IDK what the hell happened, but apparentlly the update has screwed up my ability to join any server let alone the steam network(yet once in the game, it will connect to the friends list....)

i now get the error/disconnect: "Server is enforcing file consistency for this file: particles\water_dx80.pcf"

googling/looking around people have said find the file, delete, if you can't find it, then it's in the TF2 GCF file, which means to delete local content/the TF2 GCF file, and reinstall(as Validating apparentlly is totally worthless)....thing is i keep hearing other people having same issues since the update dropped....

any ideas?

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
