XeroZohar Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Did a search and found no results so I'll just post here since it's the most likely place to get some crossover: Anyone play Nuclear Dawn? I'm having fun with it and think that if there's enough interest we could maybe get an OCR server of it going. Well, that's up to PL of course. Just a thought. And now back to your regularly scheduled TF2 hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 brushfire I will give you all of the crates I have in exchange for a widowmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroZohar Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 So, I dunno if this is the gift I was supposed to get as part of the new contest's first objective, but I have a steam coupon for 50% off anything Valve-published. That said, I already own everything Valve-published, so if anyone wants it, I'm willing to trade. Unless that's what everyone got. In which case... er, how about them local sports team?

Powerlord Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I discovered an error in the startup scripts for the current servers that made both servers use the same core. Now both servers will use both cores as needed (which shouldn't be a problem unless both are really busy). I'm hoping correcting this problem with fix the lag spikes that occasionally happen.

Bahamut Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think everyone gets some sort of 25, 33, or 50% off coupon for free for Valve games to start out in that great gift thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've received both 25% off Valve games and 50% off Rockstar Games. I'm not sure where the second coupon came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickomoo Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm too lazy... er, poor to afford keys for crates. Why couldn't we forgo them this holiday season? >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Bark Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think everyone gets some sort of 25, 33, or 50% off coupon for free for Valve games to start out in that great gift thingy. Not me.

Zerothemaster Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just did my very first uncrafting after purchasing a couple of keys. It was a Sniper crate, so I hoped to get the Sydney Sleeper or some hats. What did I get? Strange Jarate. ... I don't even use Jarate. I feel trolled.

Powerlord Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I had to restart the server BLU and RED are on for a security update. They're both back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If you were paying attention to your server list, you may have noticed that RED is now running the Prop Hunt game mode rather than Vs. Saxton Hale. I figured after two weeks we were due for a change. Having said that, is anyone interested in the Dodge Ball or Wario Ware game modes?

Powerlord Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.Team Fortress 2 - Fixed a Spy-cicle exploit - Fixed the Manmelter idle effects showing on other flareguns BLU appears to have updated correctly this time (it didn't for the previous two). I'm manually updating RED now. In addition to this update: People are reporting lag on the current server. I don't see anything in the server configuration that would cause that sort of thing, unless it's replays (but those are being offloaded to www.ocrtf2.com). I believe I can change what data center the server is in for no fee. Currently it's in a Chicago, IL datacenter, but I'm considering moving it to a Denver, CO or Dallas, TX datacenter instead... I'm trying to keep it near the east-west center of the US/Canada. I originally chose IL because it's also closer to Canada. Here's the kicker: Some lag yesterday may have been caused by routing issues that XO Communications was having yesterday. I know that my ISP was cut off from the majority of the Internet last night due to this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally chose IL because it's also closer to Canada. When the server was under Fireslash's despotic reign, the datacenter was Texas, and i didn't find it added much to the transit time( 'ping') for the server, since the major data pipe goes right from toronto down to Chicago and then on to texas.

Sir Prize Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Every five seconds you're told to do something. "Avoid the guy with the payload cart on his back." "Get on a small island" etc This actually looks like a lot of fun. o Ao Anyway, I've been away from TF2 the past week or so to focus on working on my project for college. However, I have started popping around again... and have been most amused by the new stuff from the Foundry and holiday updates. There's one thing in particular I've been making a lot of use out of, as some of you may know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=raBcVbWJD2A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
