I dont think you get five full secons of crit when you add in the time to switch weapons ('q' buton is the fastest) and the minigun's warmup spin before firing.

exactly..

They should have added some sort of speed boost with natascha to compensate for the lack of power.. and OBVIOUS lack of slowing down the enemy..lol

Try going Pyro and attacking a Heavy armed with Natascha instead of Sascha, the difference is huge, you can't even get close enough to set him alight compared to running rings around a Sasha'd Heavy and getting all those sweet crits from behind.

The server I play on all of the time (Jiggly's Fun House) decided to have a sandvich party today:

:laugh:

Haha, yeah, we did something similar to that in our clans server today as well.

Good times. ;)

Got 19 of the achievements from playing heavy today (just regular playing, nothing out of the ordinary - well except eating a lot of sandviches during the setup time! :laugh:).

I have to say, they've nailed the alternative instead of upgrade with Natascha, and the Sandvich is more of a situational choice than anything else but definitely not overpowered.

I'm still making up my mind on the KGB as i only just got it, and i'm tending towards thinking it's an upgrade but the loss of the killtaunt is quite a tradeoff, it has a huge range compared to the Hadouken.

...

Oh okay, thanks. So I should first defrag inside Steam, then use another defragger if I want to?

Yeah.

Natascha does slow down people, it's quite obvious once you see it. (I was on the receiving end of it last night, it's hard to turn and run for cover)

So I've got a bit of a problem that maybe someone can help me with. Firstly, my specs are Athlon X2 64 4400+, 4GB of DDR400, nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX.

On this system, XP Pro w/SP3 plays TF2 just fine, no problems whatsoever. Using Vista (both 32-bit and 64-bit), I get extreme lag issues. I have the latest drivers for everything. I'm getting ready to build a new system when Core i7 comes out, but it would be nice to move to Vista x64.

saying that since the heavy update i have TF2 crashing on me while ive been in game, i had another update last night (cant find any news about it) but when i played last night the game hasnt crashed so far

anyone else had issues?

I had this problem as i had the same spec as you a few months ago, and the problem went away with a new gfx and processor, i know it doesnt really help, but thats what fixed it for me

kept crashing before the valve 'video' at the start finished after playing once with the update

Still doesn't make sense why it works in XP, but not Vista. I haven't tried any other game, but I still think it has to be something with my drivers.

That is weird. There might be a problem with your local cache. Might want to consider posting that on the Steam forums and see if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it.

Finally got it to work today. I got so frustrated with it hanging and restarting that I shut off my computer for a day. When I turned it and started Steam, it finally downloaded the update at a steady rate. Took about 3 minutes to update as a whole but I'm still mad it took this long.

Scirwode

Godamit, Source games **** me off when they do this.

I load up TF2 and theres 1 server on the server list. I untick non empty, non locked and so on and still only the 1 server.

I have to go to a site to launch the game and get the ip for a server.

Don't understand why this keeps happening.

Got all unlocks with a simple download. I really cannot be arsed to grind.

Twas on a server today with 90% heavies. Serious yawn fest. After about 4 minutes I suited up as a pyro and strolled out to the 2fort bridge, to whence I decided to cook all those fat heavies. Truly, wonderful. Odd though how I was the enemy for trying to play the game and not allowing them to stat up wasting my time.

This is why Valve should release all the add-ons in one go, not one at a time. Be prepared for heavy filled servers for weeks to come.

On a side note, nothing more fun than roasting a useless heavy to death while he is eating his SANDWICH. Yes it has a W. Booo

Alot of people were having that problem.

just got Stage 2 unlocked with the Heavy, im hoping to get Stage 3 shortly, but i think stage 3 will be difficult to get

you biatch lol, I need that, I still need more Pyro stuff!

If anyone wants a Guest Pass for 1 month (expiring 9/21/2008), please PM me.

I think most people that have had this game for a few months have 1 guest pass. I also have one as well; anyone want one?

    • Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.
    • These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
