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?

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
