Rocket Jumper + Gunboats + pain train = Stupid fun. I dont even neen the Gunboats but I just rub that in 2 Fort Sniper's faces

Yeah, it's good fun until an engineer wisens up and sets up a sentry to stop you. Then you go back and blow it up as a demo. Wash, rinse, repeat. ;)

Better yet, how about being on a team that's so incompetent they allow the enemy team to get up two wrangled sentries on both sides with snipers guarding each one.

Whats the point of that? Rocket Jumper = no rocket damage therefore no need to reduce self rocket damage with gunboats, might as well use the shotgun so you at least have backup if you have a smart enemy.

"[unlock Problem!]: You cannot use both the Holy Mackerel and the Bonk Atomic Punch together due to stability issues!"

Same message with crit cola. Strange, it was fine last time i used the set.

Is that from Steam/Valve, or from the server? Didn't the last patch log said they fixed a scout exploit that crashed servers? If so (I may be wrong) but what you are seeing is most likely a server mod blocking that combination because the owners haven't realize it's been fixed.

I doubt its a message from Valve though, they would fix it and not block it all together.

Because its stupid fun telling them I have gunboats and the rocket jumper together killing them with the pain train (more damage from bullets) or frying pan.

Despite the fun gained by killing inferior opponents, I simply do not have enough fun doing so to stand playing on 2fort or any other 24/7 server. Honestly though, you have fun killing people unable to kill a soldier using a melee weapon and taking more damage from (most) ranged weapons? 2fort on its own is bad enough to cancel out the amount of fun I would have in doing so....

I have 2 spare Degreasers and 2 series 1 crates if anyone wants to trade a polycount weapon for each (already have GRU, Shortstop, Mackerel, Mad Milk, Degreaser, and the Vita-saw, looking for soldier/pyro unlocks mostly).

I also got 2 nametags, any good names for the scattergun/shortstop or the rocket launcher?

I play on other maps trying to win and sometimes play around on others like 2 Fort. But more importantly, dude its just a game.

I know, but I prefer my prey to at least put up somewhat of a fight, that way when I beat them it feels like I did a good job, not just "Hmmm, another one bites the dust"....it just wouldn't have the same feeling, preying on helpless 24/7 2fort snipers for free kills...

There is no vintage vita-saw, the vintage items were items found BEFORE the polycount pack, the vita-saw was added with the polycount pack.

Ah. I thought it was released prior.

I have a vintage jarate I can give for it, but not much else. :/

I don't see why the "vintage" weapons are desired, unless you're a super new player.

Hats I can understand, but the "vintage" weapons have been handed out since the first class update.

I don't see why buttons or stamps are desired by so many, but they are.

In short, collectors. Vintage weapons use different colored text for the name, and they have Vintage added to the front. Anyone who wants to collect Vintage weapons are therefore going to pay more for them then they are worth. Same reason I will not pay more than a polycount weapon is worth when trying to get one....I am not a collector, I am not willing to overpay just because someone else thinks its worth more.

Today, Valve said that community content creators Rob Laro, Shawn Spetch, Steven Skidmore, Spencer Kern and Shaylyn Hamm took home initial royalty payments ranging from $39,000 to $47,000 each from the first round of Team Fortress 2 content creation. And these are just the checks from the first few weeks of operation.

    • 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.
