In the evening European time? Sure, why not.

How's 6pm CEST/5pm BST/12pm EDT? Hopefully my time zone calculations are correct. :p

CEST = Central European Summer Time, BST = British Summer Time, EDT= Eastern Daylight Time.

Let's say 20:00 CEST and see who all is going to join.

17:34Team Fortress 2 Updates Released

Product Update - Valve

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Team Fortress 2

Added a Parasite hat to celebrate the release of Alien Swarm (http://www.alienswarm.com/)

Fixed a client crash when opening the backpack while running in a language other than English.

Fixed not being able to pick-up buildings in Arena mode.

Fixed an exploit that allowed team kills with Wrangled sentries.

Fixed a bug where teleporters could be given more than their normal amount of health.

Fixed old demos with different data tables thinking the SourceTV player entity was burning.

TF Bot Changes

Improved performance of bot computations that are done when a point is captured, a round starts, or a checkpoint reached.

Fixed Engineer bot infinite build-destroy behavior loop regression

Fixed Medic bots losing their charge if they touch a resupply cabinet

Fixed a crash due to having multiple types of bot systems running in-game simultaneously

Fixed bot behavior issue resulting in bot pile-ups near level 3 teleporter entrances

Bots no longer consider sapped sentries a dangerous threat

Bots will not try to navigate through enemy spawn rooms (unless they have won the round)

Bot Engineers will avoid building teleporters on steep slopes which can hinder teammate movement

Added tf_bot_pyro_always_reflect cvar. Set to 1 to make Pyro bots always reflect projectiles, regardless of difficulty level.

Anyone know if you will be able to get the hat after today (by earning the achievement in Alien Swarm)? I assume so but would love confirmation.....where I currently am its going to take me another 5+ hours to download the game.

It's based on an Alien Swarm achievement, so I don't think it's time-limited.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.
