Personally, I use http://www.tf2wh.com . It's completely automated with trade-bots. Trade items for credits, then later trade the credits for other items. Only downsides are, there is usually a queue you have to wait in before a bot gets to you, and you get less credits selling then buying, other than that, it's a great system.

Yeah, I'm aware of tf2wh. It had a big surge in popularity followed by a bit of a negative slump.

Personally I view it as a different service to sites like TF2OP and etc entirely. Nicer for a quick simple 1:1.

The item drop reset was last night but I am getting zero item drops. I played last night and this morning but no items are dropping for me, yet other players seem to be getting items..

Working for me. I had a week were I swear my account got zero items, though. No idea why.

I don't care for what this game has turned into....

Last night, after about a 3 year absence from the game, I reinstalled it. And I was just instantly lost and confused. The whole start menu has changed, and there are about 20 different options one can choose from. There is very little information about how and what you can do with everything, and it is just way too much for one like myself, who just wants to hop on and have fun, to deal with.

I used to really like this game, but it seems to have turned into a grind fest and all about items now. :(

The menu is even simpler than before, there is even a "Quickplay" feature now that'll automatically find you a server.

As far as items/etc go, as The_Decryptor said you can avoid all the cosmetics, and weapon-wise stock is still usually the best or a valid option with the exception generally being with melee.

If you're confused, I'd also suggest flipping through the Official Wiki and just familiarising yourself with the key points.

In other news, last night I was lucky enough to play a couple of rounds of TF2 with Robin Walker:

Anyone know of any glitches or exploits that cause a medic to fire a needlegun really, really fast?

I'm just about convinced this one guy was using a hack. Really annoying. If only we could report players as we do with servers. :pinch:

You can. Just press F7 and select the player you want to report. It'll collect a bunch of info and send it to Valve.

I assume you get to select what to report after pressing F7? I did that yesterday and it gave me the option to submit now (J) or later (K). I thought I was reporting the server (which wasn't at fault!) so I cancelled the dialog.

Yea, it takes a screen shot and you can select to report the server or player.

I'm really starting to get back in to TF2. Took some screenshots recently at surround resolution thought some of you might enjoy them. Need to edit a lot of files to centre the HUD like in these screenies if any of you want help doing that for your own surround setups PM me :)

Seems like in a recent update, they finally made TF2 restore almost instantly upon an ALT+TAB or the Windows key. After three years they finally get it right! No more sitting there for half a minute hearing voice chat loop over and over, and then seeing weird glitches after you're back into the game.

Also, there's this. http://www.teamfortress.com/truemeaning/ - just the engineer and pyro. Hmm... the last Meet the Team coming? :D

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
