What do you mean by that? The ball has always disappeared within seconds of hitting a person, did they make it disappear instantly now or something?

You're probably right. One time I had a scout bonk me as a soldier, then five seconds later he bonked me again. It could be possible he picked up a stray ball from another scout... it was a while back so I can't remember clearly.

Wow, there is a bug that lets engies build unlimited amounts of buildings.....I joined a random server and had 5 sentries up before people started destroying them o.O

You sure you didn't join a troll server like 4chan's? :p

I created my own local listen server to test it out. It doesn't seem to work on all servers, first server I joined it worked fine, but I couldn't use it to build tele entrances (probably just because I do not know the build command too well), second server, I could build 3 sentries at once, but that was it.....an admin might have disabled the build command after I started doing it or something though, after those 3 got destroyed I couldn't use the build command on that server any more. Third server it just plain didn't work (but the admins there are quite active and probably added something to fix it, similar to the 2nd one I was on).

But still, I created my own server through TF2 and dropped like 4 sentries, so it was NOT a server mod in any way.

For sentries, open your console, type "build 2 0", drop the sentry, get metal, repeat with "build 2 1", etc etc. You can do the same thing with Dispensers (build 0 x) and teleport exit's (build 1 x) but I couldn't get entrances to appear. Would be awesome putting an entrance at each spawn exit leading to 1 exit, or multiple exits with 1 entrance and see if the game picks the closest or crashes. :p

Again, it may not work on all servers, but it does work on some and it does work without any mods.

w00t, started getting drops again earlier today (right after I made that post earlier complaining about not getting any). Got about 3 items then a hat drop - Brigade Helm!......

As pyro is one of my top 3 played classes, I am happy, but I do not know if it will be enough to replace my rubber glove. o.O

I just tried it on an empty server and it worked, you might want to edit the command m8 I don't really want to be getting pwned by engis with 8 sentrys :laugh:

It will be fixed soon enough by Valve, besides, too late to edit that post anyway. Plus, if your on a server with any decent admins, people abusing it will be banned.

EDIT: Apparently you can also use the pain train along with 2 other soldier OR demo items to craft scrap metal, so no more waiting for 3 extra pain trains to craft them.

I just got a drop today so it looks like the cap was reset. It looks like this update brought back a lot of old bugs. The multiple sentries, dispensers etc. The invisible spy taunt kill bug is back, and earlier today I saw a spy running around with a toolbox getting ready to build a dispenser.

  • Fixed several issues with the Source SDK
  • Added new items to commemorate our 119th (or so) update
  • Scout's "Retire the Runner" achievement updated to be
  • "Kill a Scout while they are under the effect of Crit-a-Cola."
  • Added a 20% damage bonus to The Backburner.
  • Fixed the Flare Gun's afterburn duration being lowered by the Flamethrower's duration reduction.
  • Fixed the teleporter exit using the wrong particle effect.
  • Fixed HUD damage indicators not appearing.
  • Fixed Teleporters not reverting to level 1 when their other side is destroyed.
  • Fixed receiving damage not causing view-kicks on players.
  • Fixed Engineers & Spies being able to circumvent build restrictions.
  • Fixed Server Browser not saving filter settings properly.
  • Fixed a client crash in the targetID on clients running custom HUDs

Anyone who played within 3 months of release gets a gold medal they can wear, anyone who started playing 3 months to a year after release gets a silver medal, everyone else gets a bronze.

http://www.teamfortress.com/119/

EDIT: Some are reporting that they got the wrong medal and the date it says they were "Hired" is wrong. Mine however is completely accurate (date and all) and, like some who claim they got the wrong medal, I have reset my stats a couple times in the past. So, there is either a bug giving out the wrong medals to some people, or the people complaining about it simply think they have owned the game longer then they really have.

The medal can also be worn by all the classes, the icon on it changes to match the class you are playing.

Good thing they rolled out this update. The engineers building multiple buildings was getting a tad annoying. Good to see that the backburner got its damage nerf reverted and fire afterburn from the flare gun restored.

Also I think the heavies move a tad too quick now while firing.

There are some hidden links in the news post:

http://www.teamfortress.com/119/steam.html

http://www.teamfortress.com/119/teams_and_fortresses.html

Ohhhhh:

To get the 2 hidden links on the blog, you're going to need to click "Engineer buildings" and "multi-core machines"! I smell a hint on TF2's future

120th will be the engi update?

I also "lost" my silver medal. When I checked earlier, I could wear the medal. Now, it is not there. Valve fixing things?

I don't know if I'll get one because I bought it at retail and registered the Serial through Steam. It doesn't show a date of purchase. Does anyone know when this is going to be fed out? I want my medals D:

Edit, read the side of the post, it says this.

* For the record, you couldn't have done it without us either... Without us you'd still be running around in de_dust. Just sayin'...

Counter-Strike 2 at E3?

The medals are handed out based on when you first played the game so it doesn't matter how you acquired it. I hear this should be sorted out ...any minute now.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
