Powerlord Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please use hldsupdatetool to receive the update. The specific changes include: Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM) - Added support for raw mouse input. Raw input reads directly from the mouse, bypassing Windows control panel mouse settings.

(Windows) - Updated mouse configuration UI to support raw input and acceleration; added tooltips to some of the options. (Windows) - Fixed UI tooltips so that they display correctly on first hover.

ParanoidDrone Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 So I've decided that I'll get Poker Night at the Inventory eventually, if only for that sweet watch, but is the preorder deal still on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self: Preorder Poker Night, and while I'm at it get a few keys to open the crates I keep forgetting to trade away. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well, you're probably going to see less of me in TF2 in the coming weeks. I'm really starting to get fed up with whatever connection problem exists between my ISP and our TF2 server. The constant lagging is really irritating. That and there's a new WoW expansion coming out. Also, I noticed my Lugermorph is now a Vintage Lugermorph... probably because people who play Poker Night at the Inventory can get a new one.

ParanoidDrone Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 After talking with the other team for the Highlander match, they're asking if we can make a 5:00 PM Eastern match time. Date's still Sunday. Yes/no? Also they're checking if some people they know in Portugal can let us use a server there. EDIT: Due to the time crunch and no one chiming in to say they can't make it, I went ahead and rescheduled the event to 5:00 PM EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gave people <1.5 hours to find out about the time change and get back to you. This after 2 weeks of planning to make sure everyone could make a specific time. I sure hope no one has a conflict.

I know it's absurdly short notice, but the other team flat out can't make the default time we were given. Even though it's only 11:30 their time. I find that odd, but whatever. It was either that or no match at all as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroZohar Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Boy this is going to be interesting tomorrow. If it's not jumbled times it's potential for extreme ping. Woof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks, but that's the purpose of a default time. But having agreed to a different time, I think you're obligated now, so hopefully everything works out.

ParanoidDrone Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 But can they prove we agreed to it? </lawyer> I was actually unaware of that, although it makes sense in retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpy Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Umm, I don't think I can make that. Also, assuming people NOT saying anything means they can make it, isn't very smart. Edit: Do you have the authority to say if the team can make a certain time, Paranoid? Otherwise, we might be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Due to the time crunch and no one chiming in to say they can't make it, I went ahead and rescheduled the event to 5:00 PM EST. I would not be able to make that time. The default time will work just fine. I know this sounds cold but we have tried to schedule the match for over a week with a server ready to be played on. They are still looking into renting a server and are trying to reschedule with less than 24 hours till the match. This team is acting disorganized and our team should not be penalized for it. The default time was set by a director of ETF2L and confirmed by the admin. A 5:00 PM time will severely hurt Bonzai as well as Frogg if I thinking of the correct schedules as well as the fact that we would still have to inform and confirm with the other 7+ people. We should use the default time and take a win due to forfeit if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Okay, point taken. Forget what I said about rescheduling the match. My apologies for acting rashly. Regarding the server, how should we handle that? Something tells me it's not kosher to just show up at some random server they don't know about and go "lol you didn't show." EDIT: Okay, here's the skinny. Let's congregate on our own server (206.217.135.94:27015, password = ocrscrim) 15 minutes prior to the match time. (That's 8:15 PM EST.) Although I haven't been able to talk to the other team directly regarding the starting server, this should allow us plenty of time to get together so we can more easily move to their server en masse if that ends up being how they want it. To be honest, I'm expecting a forfeit win, but we still need to have enough of us show up at the designated time at an agreed upon location and document that we were there and they weren't. God, this is such a clusterfuck... D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I just read the message that you posted on the ETF2L page and it sounds good, orderly, and justified. It sounds like a good plan since our server has been the only proposed IP to congregate at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 They will probably show up. Midnight isn't all that late. It's probably just inconvenient for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a good plan since our server has been the only proposed IP to congregate at. Yeah, my ability to write carefully worded walls of text is a minor point of pride for me. I just need to be in the mood and have a reason for it. They will probably show up. Midnight isn't all that late. It's probably just inconvenient for them. TBH, from the conversation I had with Ota in Steam chat, I got the distinct impression that it wasn't just inconvenient, it was flat out impossible. Granted, two of their team members are going to be participating in an unrelated match at 10:00 their time (so an hour and a half prior), including Ota himself, but I'm not sure if that's enough to explain all of their reluctance away. I do hope that we get to actually play, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
