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.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I'll be on, hopefully.

To those that are wondering which server we're going to play on, see here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/902556-neowins-official-team-fortress-2-server/

A backup of the install the first time I installed it.. I wonder if ther was a way to get a cd key from it somehow...

Just re-install it through Steam then.

[azz0r_wugg]

Neowin has a TF2 server?! Whats the ip?

[danisflying527]

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

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?)

[LOC Veteran]

That Polycount pack thingie they are gonna release on Steam looks pretty slick. Some of the community weapons are neato, especially the Soldier's Tank Buster :D

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. :(

/me glares at gigapixels, the sniping b**t**d

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:

[Lewism]

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.

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

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

[ramsy66]

Had to leave early :( but had a few good games, enjoyed playing with you lot!

[AimLXJ]

Every time when I check the server it's population is 0 :(

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

Btw, the server is full right now.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Good times :shifty:
