Is that the American one? I get around 200 latency on there, or is there a European server?

It's located in the US, yes. I get a ~120 ms ping on it, which doesn't cause any issues lag-wise for me.

Just re-install it through Steam then.

But thats the thing Its asking me to purchase it again even though I have already installed it on steam the first time, I have the disk and the box just no key

plus I have the backup I am wondering if I can give valve details they will help me find my key through the backup I have, I really want play TF2 again!

Are you logging into the same Steam account? It shouldn't be asking you to re-buy a copy unless you're using a different account, or the key was bad (you did buy it at a local reputable store?)

I know that I am using the same account I only ever had one account and also now my copy of dawn of war 2 isn't working!!!?! I bought the games from ebgames which is like a major retailer with like 250 stores

This is very weird..

EDIT: YEP I FAILS HARD, I must have somehow accidently created another steam account once which it was automatically logging me into and I now I realize thankyou so much I never would have guessed

coz this other acc had nearly the same name! Silly me =)

YAY I CAN PLAYZ TF2!

Btw does anyone know how I can join the neowin server?

Contact Valve and ask them what's going on with your account?

Anyone else having problems with the Crime and Punishment achievement for the Heavy? Its like, I'm killing the intelligence carriers, but I'm not getting any progression on the achievement. Its stuck at 0. :(

Haven't tried that one as I don't play heavy much, but been having getting the Engineer achievement where you have to move buildings 1K. For some reason when I move stuff my total isn't updated, but when I die, it increments by one :unsure:

Yea, I'm having the same problem. Moving the buildings from spawn to Blu's gates is a lot more than 1 meter, Valve! :(

Damages (fire, explosions, etc), healing and walking achievements are registered when you die. That part is working for you. However, it should increment by more than one. Unless you move your stuff not very far.

I've played many hours as a Heavy, and I'm sure I've killed more than a few dozen intelligence carriers. But not a single kill has been registered for the achievement.

Not that I care that much for the achievements, but still, having a few left unearned is just... wrong. :p

That achievement could be broken. It can happen after some updates.

Btw, the server is full right now.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
