So..say if I wanted to trade some TF2 items to have a game gifted to me, what items would I need to trade and how many for a game? I have tons of items and crates and a couple keys, I'm looking for either a Portal 2, Deus Ex: HR, Lost Planet 2, Prototype, Assassins Creed II, or AC: Brotherhood.

Go here http://tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.com/ to find out how much your items are worth to traders in refined metal. Each refined is worth ~$0.90, so multiply the value of your items in refined by $0.90 to find out how much they are worth in dollars. Get enough items of value to match the price of the game you want. Of course this will depend finding someone who actually wants your items.

sigh no one can help me :(, guess imma uninstall this crap..

Sorry didn't notice your TF2 problem,

Solution:

1) Right-click on TF2 in your game library

2) Click Properties

3) Click the "local files" tab on the window that pops up

4) Click on the button "Verify integrity of game cache..."

If after all that it still doesn't work then just uninstall tf2 along with steam, and then reinstall again starting with steam.

Ever since the update TF2 is crashing every ten minutes to a half-hour for me.

At least you aren't the only one, thought this crashing was because of some driver issue on my front, I get crashes quit frequently as well, especially on 2Fort 32 player servers. It began happening after the manniversary update. Lots of rage on that crappy hat valve gave us from the experienced users I have noticed.

It was more-or-less stable prior, but currently it only exacerbates the crashing introduced in the Manniversary update.

Disabling multi-threading definitely seems to have helped. I've only crashed once since where as before I was crashing about once an hour. Hopefully Valve can push out a proper fix soon.

This game frustrates me, I don't know what it is but I can't aim worth a crap. It's also bull that someone can be almost directly in front of a rocket and be able to jump out of the way without taking damage, didn't know mere humans were faster than rockets/bullets. Also something that gets me is that some weapons are crippled in ridiculous ways. I don't know if there is some kind of lag but I can be out of the line of fire behind something and still get shot, the freeze cam shot of the person that killed me shows them in a different spot than I saw them. I headshot/bodyshot an opposing sniper and he would not take any damage until the fourth or so shot. I don 't get why I have so many problems yet others have near perfect accuracy and rarely miss a shot.

Looks like some connection problems, though freezecam shots are taken a little bit after the kill, as for the rockets, you should almost always aim for the feet, that way it's almost impossible to escape all the damage.

Maybe or maybe I just have no coordination at all. I thought I was fairly good with accuracy when shooting or sniping in other games but I have major problems with this game. I guess it will take some time, I've just started playing earlier this year, my first few or so weeks were spent playing on regular servers and after those few weeks I started playing on an idle/trade server.

Got to play the Halloween update last night. I love this map, but damn there are so many items now(have not played since just after the public crafting was added) For some reason I went on a hot streak with the sniper and was getting head shots like no bodies business. Wish this map was around longer then just this time of year as I love it.

I have a question, does the dead ringer and pocket medic get dropped by the item drop system?

Also the Dead Ringer can be earned by achievements. A total of 17 from the Spy Achievement table.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
