Sometimes the item backend can be delayed, and occasionally is offline for maintenance/etc.

Could you provide a link to you Steam community profile?

That's true also, but on the plus side if the system is down when you get a milestone you will get that item for the milestone once the system comes back online.

That seems to be the case, actually. When I booted up TF2 last night, I had a 'new item' notice, and the Equalizer was in my backback.

All is well.

Good to hear....I had the same issue when the WAR update (soldier and demo) went live, as soldier is one of my main classes, it was pretty annoying that I couldn't get any unlocks for him.

Behavior can be really inconsistant at times, items not assigning themselves despite having "dropped" or items just plain not dropping at all; good to hear you got your item. If it happens again you can use one of the handful of web-based backpack viewers to see if your item is in your new/unassigned queue. In extreme cases, Steam Support will sort out will sort the problem out for you.

For example, this is the current state of my backpack: http://tf2b.com/athernar

Replace "athernar" with your id/profile number that shows up in your Steam community URL to view your own.

New update for the TF2 beta:

Gameplay:

  • Player health increased 25% (over normal – not the previous 100% increase)
  • Damage against buildings no longer reduced

General:

That's mental :blink:

No, that's what happens when your enemy is oblivious.....Someone should have saw him flying through the air, and people should have heard the death screams behind them......the only one who noticed the guy was the soldier in front AFTER his medic got killed (well, others did notice him and turn around, but they didn't see him or fire back)...

Even so, it's still an epic run.

Epic video. No denying it would take some luck and a bit of a dosey team to pull it off, but he executed it pretty well :p

Yeah, I have done similar feats with the equalizer (had an awesome one back before the damage was nerfed, killed half the team and made it back alive to my own team on a KotH map). He had well aimed nades, I'll give him that, but first blood crits combined with him taking advantage of the sticky jumper to take no damage from his 1-hit kill weapon made it pretty easy for him to take advantage of an unaware team.

good, that 100% increase was ridiculous. The last time i played on a beta server I went 4 whole rounds without even being killed once.

Yeah and I've already wasted a lot. Crafted a random hat (3 refined metal), and I got a wig, for a class I never play which is Spy. If I'm not mistaken that cost me 54 weapons. I also can't trade it, because one of the weapons I used was not tradable. Pretty damn crappy that the whole concoction then becomes untradeable.

I really need to get into this crafting and trading system. :laugh:

You could probably still sell it using Gift Wrap, but you have to buy it from the shop.

Eh, I must be the only one to like the Loch and Load. It has its uses, and can be very effective. I guess you're just trying to use it like the Grenade Launcher and aren't actually trying to lead your targets. They both launch a little to the right of the viewmodel, so if you can get that then it is quite easy to aim.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
