Cinderwild Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 and the first year was the 29th, so they have a history of putting it closer to Halloween than further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bark Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 You are aware last year's event started on the 27th, 4 days before Halloween?Granted, that *was* on a Wednesday, so the precedent could go either way. so what do you think then? we start a pool, everybody toss a scrap in, closest to the date and time wins it all then?

Top Gun Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hopefully this finally takes care of anyone who was still having regular crash issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hopefully this finally takes care of anyone who was still having regular crash issues. According to someone on the hlds_linux mailing list: "Client crashes still occurring, my server just lost 5/12 players at once." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickomoo Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 started playing this game a few weeks ago... kinda addicting. Also the crashes are done, I've had quite a few long games this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 This might be old news but the Night of the Living Update happened: http://halloween.tf2mods.net/ I do hope a lot of this makes it into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all fan-made stuff. We won't know what Valve adds to their update until tonight or tomorrow. Side note: I won't be on until 7:30pm EDT tomorrow. If Valve updates before then, TEST will be out of date, but RED should auto-update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah, I know. A lot of it is showcased in the Steam Workshop, but there is whole lot of awesome stuff here. I'm specifically rooting and hoping for the Van Mundy and the Serpent Slayer packs to get added to the game. My apologies if I made it sound like this was the official Valve Halloween update.

Powerlord Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I haven't gotten around to testing my voting extension again since last week. I need to stop playing TF2 and actually test it. Of course, knowing my luck, the Halloween update will break it. On an off topic, 9 of you on my friends list have Back to the Future on your Steam wishlist, it's on sale on Steam for $10 through 10am PDT tomorrow.

Powerlord Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 euuggh come on update, get out already! I'm kind of glad they didn't release it quite yet, because I wasn't around to update TEST. Anyway, if you have all the OCR servers in your servers list, you may have noticed that BLU is now open while RED is locked. This was due to me not wanting to have to kick people from RED when I switch it over to the event server later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that 10 minutes ago. What's more, BLU is already updated and restarted. Must have beat the rush because Event (RED) and TEST are slow updating.
