Hopefully the last class to get upgrades is the sniper. Last thing we need are more ways for sniper ###### to keep going left, right, POW, left, right, POW, POW, and racking up 30+ more points than the number 2 guy on their team. :angry:

Here's a nice demo to show when sniper ###### get out of hand with hacks: Download here

(unzip the file to a convenient location, then start up TF2 and type 'demoui' in the console)

Maybe one day I'll finally get around to playing sniper. Until then, I'll continue cursing them off. :p

I've not come across anyone cheating, though I have come across plenty of accusations.

NEway, I've been having lots of fun since the latest update. I've already got all the heavy unlocks (it was great fun sneaking up on an engineer and killing him with a taunt). I'm really liking pl_badwater, which is much more fun than pl_goldrush - the Arena maps are also nice (I like the new theme for Lumberyard), though I can't say I play them much. I hope the next update is for the spy, as I rarely ever play it - I only got past an hour playtime last night and I pre-ordered The Orange Box to get access to the TF2 beta.

Sniper is still my most played class.

I don't understand why Valve can't block these aimbots and wall hacks, I hate playing against someone who is cheating :angry:

They've got VAC, the best bet is to play on a vac secured server, and make sure it's a pure server too (material based wallhacks are even easier to make, and have nothing to do with VAC)

I played TF2 last night and it seems everyone is a Heavy. I tried to play Heavy and do the achievements but it's really hard, I might have to go to an achievement server just to do it, though I would rather not do so.

I don't understand why Valve can't block these aimbots and wall hacks, I hate playing against someone who is cheating :angry:

It happen to me as well in the servers I play (Starhub, BolehVPN, GameArena) and when we find one is cheating, all of us just become spectators and wait for him to leave. I do admit it is annoying to play against these people but it's their choice if they want to cheat. If that's how they want to play, so be it, I don't care as sooner or later it will come back to them.

I sure do love the HWM (HardWare Morph) models, they are so expressive (more like Meet The * videos), I'm also using a few custom settings to make stuff look nicer.

// These next two settings need to match
// otherwise facial animation breaks
mp_usehwmmodels "1"		 // Use high quality models
mp_usehwmvcds "1"		   // Use high quality faceposing
cl_new_impact_effects "1"   // Use particle systems for impact effects
cl_burninggibs "1"		  // Gibs from burning person stay on fire

How do I get those to work? Some kind of autoexec?

I've actually played the demo and it was fun but I still don't see why Valve went lazy with the cartoony-graphics. Half-Life 2 looks simply amazing with the infamous new Valve engine.

The graphics style was extremely hard to pull off. You'd be surprised.

Look at the models when they speak. The facial expressions are very good indeed.

I love the way it looks. Its great fun. Not taking itself too seriously.

Remember back in the day when TF2 was going to be all serious? Where you actually had the option of feeding bullets into a machinegun while your team mate fired it? That was insane, so glad that never happened.

I also find the Pyro cute, is that wrong? :p

Can someone explain how the scoring works in TF2 to me please? Like I see you guys have a lot of kills and only get over 100 points?

I've played Scout a lot in the past and on some occassions captured/scored the intel 3 times to win a match, but I still got a crappy score. Then tonight, although not as good as you guys, I killed 29 times and only got 40 pts? Wtf :blink:

How the hell do you get high scores? Or is TFC/TF2 never meant to be like that?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps by Taras Buria In addition to releasing new Windows 11 preview builds, Microsoft announced that inbox Windows apps now have dedicated release notes in the official documentation. At long last, users have access to all the release notes for each app, with changes listed in chronological order. Microsoft used to announce feature updates for stock apps with each build. Now, with Windows Insider release notes hosted on the Microsoft Learn website, each app has a dedicated space for its changelog, which is very useful for those who want to track new features and improvements. Alongside that, Microsoft dropped massive feature updates for six stock apps: Clock, Media Player, Calculator, Voice Recorder, Photos, and Paint. Each app packs quite a lot of changes and new capabilities, so here are the release notes. Here are quick notes so that you can jump to the app you are interested in the most: Calculator Camera Clock Media Player Paint Photos Sound Recorder Here is what is new for the Calculator in version 11.2605.9.0: More accurate square-root results — Fixed rare cases where a calculation that should equal zero (like sqrt(2.25) - 1.5) returned a tiny leftover value instead. Readable text in High Contrast themes — Settings text now shows the correct colors in the High Contrast Aquatic and Desert themes. Fixed layout for right-to-left languages — For languages like Arabic and Hebrew, the graph, number pad, equation fields, and scroll buttons now appear correctly oriented. Reliable launch after upgrading — Fixed an issue where upgrading from much older versions could leave outdated settings that stopped the app from opening. Here is what is new for the Camera app (version 2026.2605.7.0): Zoom slider works on more cameras — The zoom slider now works on the latest cameras, respects your system zoom settings, and updates instantly when you change those settings. Full range of zoom levels — Fixed an issue where the zoom slider only showed three steps on some devices that zoom in finer increments. Front camera works on more devices — Resolved a problem that blocked the front-facing camera on certain wide-angle devices. More video resolution choices — You can now pick video resolutions that were previously hidden; the app shows a heads-up warning instead of removing them. QR links you can still use — When a scanned QR code points to something with no matching app, the link is now copied to your clipboard (with a notification) while still offering a Store search. Smarter default settings — When you haven't set a preference, the app now follows your system settings by default. The Clock app has a massive changelog with the following improvements in version 11.2605.9.0: Timers keep counting after they hit zero — When a timer runs out, it now keeps counting up (for example, -00:27:31) so you can see how far past the time you've gone. You can turn off the daily goal — Focus Sessions now include an "Off" option so you can skip setting a daily goal entirely. New 15-minute snooze option — Alarms now offer a 15-minute snooze interval. Run up to 3 countdowns at once — The Countdown Widget now supports three simultaneous countdowns, up from two. Timer Widget notifications now appear — Fixed an issue where the "timer finished" notification didn't show when the timer was started from the widget. Less clutter in Focus Sessions — Tasks you've already completed no longer show up in the Focus Session task list. More accurate focus progress — Fixed a rounding issue that could show your daily focus progress as a minute short (for example, 49 minutes instead of 50). Smoother World Clock comparisons — The World Clock compare page now loads dates as you scroll, so it feels more responsive. Up-to-date World Clock locations — Refreshed country and city names to match their current names. Correct sun and moon icons during midnight sun — Fixed an icon that wrongly showed a moon during all-day daylight in polar regions. Fixed back-button behavior in clock comparisons — Pressing back once now takes you back as expected, instead of jumping the date to 1926. Corrected the Newfoundland time zone — Newfoundland now uses the right time zone (St. John's). Disabled alarms stay looking disabled — Editing a turned-off alarm no longer makes it appear turned on. Cleaner timer cards — The expand button is now turned off on timer cards that have no time set, preventing actions that wouldn't do anything. Clearer theme setting — Updated the wording to "Choose your preferred app theme." Smoother Settings links — The "About" links in Settings no longer trigger an unexpected "switch apps" prompt. Fixed spacing in Spotify settings — Corrected uneven spacing in the Spotify settings card. Better focus visibility in High Contrast — The focus highlight in World Clock is now clearly visible in the High Contrast Aquatic and Desert themes. No more double announcements — Screen readers no longer read the timer value twice. Countdown names read correctly — Screen readers now properly announce the name of each countdown. Keyboard focus stays put — Focus no longer disappears after you press the Timer Reset button. Clearer alarm toggle for screen readers — Tidied up how the alarm on/off switch is announced. The Media Player app received plenty of changes as well (version 11.2605.14.0): Custom captions — You can now personalize how closed captions appear, with caption styling tied to your Windows caption settings, plus a quick link to open those settings directly. "Indexing" banner in the play queue — When your media library is still being scanned, a banner now explains why some items may not appear yet. Fixed the look of selected items — Corrected a layout glitch with selected items in lists. Fewer playback failures — Improved how the app recognizes supported file types, so more files play without issues. Playlists need a name — You can no longer accidentally save a playlist with a blank name. Cleaner look for empty playlists — Improved how a playlist appears when it has no items yet. More stable play queue edits — Fixed a crash that could happen when changing the play queue while the app was switching between sessions. Clearer "missing codec" message — Improved the dialog that appears when a file needs a codec you don't have, with clearer guidance on what to do. A big update is also available for Paint in version 11.2605.61.0: Adjustable eraser transparency — You can now control how transparent the eraser is. Cleaner stamp brush strokes — Fixed visible color shifts and artifacts when using stamp-style brushes. JPEG photos save in place — Opening a rotated JPEG and pressing Save now overwrites the original instead of unexpectedly prompting "Save As." No more crash on bad image files — Opening a damaged or invalid image, from within the app, by double click, or commandline, now shows a clear error message instead of closing the app. Classic selection behavior restored — The selection outline now hides while you move, resize, or rotate a selection, just like in classic Paint. Tidier AI image panel — Fixed missing spacing at the bottom of the AI image generation panel for a cleaner layout. Visible button hover in light theme — Toolbar split buttons now show a clear hover highlight in the light theme. Snappier toolbar — Streamlined how the ribbon lays out, giving a small speed boost at startup. Fewer background crashes — Fixed a crash that could happen while background tasks were finishing up. Stable app shutdown — Prevented rare crashes when closing the app. Fixed layer removal glitch — Deleting the active layer no longer leaves the layers list in an inconsistent state. Here is what is new in the Photos app (version 2026.11060.2004.0): AI watermarking — AI-generated or edited images can now carry a visible Copilot watermark. You choose Never, Always, or Ask Every Time in Settings, with a confirmation when saving. The watermarking is off by default in settings. Better viewing of small images and pixel art — Tiny images (like 16×16 pixel art) now zoom in far more to fill the screen and stay crisp instead of looking blurry. Select scanned text with the keyboard — When text is detected in an image, you can now navigate and select it using the arrow keys, Shift+Arrow, Home/End, and Ctrl+A, with a clear focus highlight. Fixed a crash in text recognition — Resolved a crash that could close Photos while detecting text in images; the app now recovers gracefully. Easier keyboard navigation — Tabbing through the navigation bar no longer stops on hidden controls, so it takes a single Tab to move past it instead of three. And finally, here is the Sound Recorder (version 11.2605.1.0): Waveform shows with Bluetooth mics — The live waveform now displays correctly when you record using a Bluetooth audio device. No more stray scrollbar — A non-working horizontal scrollbar no longer appears at the bottom of the waveform unless you've zoomed in. Mark button ready right away — The Mark button no longer looks grayed out until you hover over it after opening the app. Markers hidden for WAV files — Markers are now turned off for WAV recordings, since that format can't store them — so they're no longer lost silently. Smoother deleting — Quickly pressing Delete and Enter to remove several recordings in a row no longer triggers a "file doesn't exist" error. Fixed a memory issue — Resolved a memory leak that occurred each time a recording started. You can find all these changelogs in the official documentation here.

      From this very same article: "For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option."

      Or every other browser, because they all behave the same, at least the mainstream ones. Firefox does exactly the same: background updates, restart to install them. Haters gotta hate, I guess.
