Things Valve claims they fixed, but not really:

Civilian Engie (see my video above)

Mini level 2/3 sentries. They are still quite possible, here's how...

1. Open up PDA and select sentry, but don't build yet

2. Switch load out to Gunslinger, touch supply cabinet

3. Build, Upgrade to level 3

4. Pick it up, and place where you would like

5. ???

6. PROFIT!

That still works? I didn't even bother trying after they said it was fixed. :p

is the gunslinger a random drop or you have to do something to get it?

You get each new weapon when you complete a certain amount of achievements and reach the appropriate milestone.

They've made it much easier to unlock the weapons with each update too, so it doesn't take long. I've unlocked everything but the Wrangler and I've only been playing casually (no achievement farming) since the update was released.

Mini sentries are awesome. Fast rate of fire, and despite their inability to be repaired they're quick to rebuild and spam everywhere. :D

The following videos are linked in TF2's news feed in Steam, but here they are again - just freaking amazing.

:rofl: at this one:

and the most amazing one for last:

(the demoman one sucked in my opinion)

Yep, this works perfectly. People don't like it when you drop a level 3 mini-sentry down on a choke point.

Especially if you have The Wrangler.

I managed to get the third Milestone achievement by taunt-killing an unaware sniper by bashing his head in with the guitar. I've never had a more satisfying taunt-kill :laugh:

You might find this video a bit hilarious then :laugh: Specifically the last kill!

I need 2 more achievements for Milestone 2. I've already got the Wrangler through random drops :p

Haha, priceless XD I've already managed to get the new Engineer items. Melee kills are the hardest if you ask me :p

I just assumed it was for a new bunch of misc items, but it does make sense to allow you to equip 2 different misc ones (Like the medic mask and the badge)

I thought that too, but when I thought more about it I figured they'd want you to be able to equip your badges/medals as well as any other misc item, such as the medic mask or spy beard. Plus I don't really expect an influx of new misc items before all the other stuff they have planned (like the modding update).

a little, but I'm still trying to tweak it to run well. TF2 just runs like utter crap on my system, where I get like 20- fps on the move, but if I die and it freeze frames someone, it shoots up to 300+ lol. Going to test horrible dx8 settings tonight to see if it will be playable.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
