Please stand by. (It's working now.) Source Engine Changes (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM) Added ConVars sv_rcon_maxpacketsize and sv_rcon_maxpacketbans to allow server admins to control the maximum RCON packet size and whether or not users get banned for exceeding that limit.

Clefairy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So is Sourcemod particularly unstable with this patch? Or is there something else going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Oh maaan, all those existing weapon changes. I think some of those have been in the beta for months. My poor Equalizer isn't game-breaking anymore. I approve of the increased burn damage and Scout sodas, the Quick-Fix should now enable all sorts of great shenanigans, the GRU change is interesting, the Crusader's Crossbow might actually be usable now, and the Tomislav is now worthless. Quite an overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So is Sourcemod particularly unstable with this patch? Or is there something else going on? I heard that the update broke Sourcemod, or perhaps it was just a warning that like most major updates, it had the potential to break Sourcemod. I'm not sure. Either way, apparently the server crashes on map nomination of all things, so it's disabled for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Played last night on another server for a while. Man, there really are a lot of people out there playing TF2 who seemingly have no idea that Spy even exists. The sheer lack of any kind of spy-checking was both staggering and delightful.

The sheer lack of any kind of spy-checking was both staggering and delightful. Spy thrives on inexperience. And most pubs are full of inexperienced players. Also, bugfix update. Lengthy changelog but nothing fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So I realized something tonight. I really like TF2 with 4-8 people per team, but a full server fills me with incandescent rage. With a moderate team size, it's possible to play intelligently and actually feel like you, personally, are accomplishing something. With a full server, it's just a meatgrinder; there's too much going on to keep track of it all, so you shoot in the general direction of the other team until you get blindsided by something (usually about 10 seconds after you respawn). That, combined with the fact that a full server only makes the normal issues (lag compensation and the like) that much worse (I swear to Christ, I got facestabbed more times tonight...) and people become incapable of using teamwork once the team gets over a certain size, full server games just end up pissing me the hell off.

WindStrike Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Keep in mind that every time a large update releases for TF2, there are pubbies everywhere. The regulars didn't start stacking up on the server until after a few hours passed, and prior to then, yeah it was a meatgrinder. Even when it got to mostly regulars, well... new stuff releases, people want to just try it out. The game will probably return to normal in a week... maybe. Also, this is genius: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadofsky Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I swear, I rage quit this game far too often. I have little experience with dealing with Spies, and they drive me insane. Especially the same players who just come after me constantly. I guess they have to dole out on the noob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Go ragePyro instead of ragequitting. Even the best Spy can't do much if you're obsessive-compulsive about burninating everything around you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleck Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The best thing to do against a good enemy spy is to convince your whole team to play as Heavy. This is also the best thing to do in response to anything else happening ever on TF2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with an interest, just poke me on Steam; I'm willing to entertain any reasonable offer. You make me sad that I just got rid of my last spare pair of earbuds & max set items.

Clefairy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) You make me sad that I just got rid of my last spare pair of earbuds & max set items. Assuming that I remember which profile is yours, I notice two things: -you've recently set the aforementioned profile to private -again assuming my memory is good, you have a mountain of rare stuff according to TF2Items If you're serious about wanting that hat, give me a poke anyway. :3 I'm sure we can hammer something out.

Top Gun Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd do a lot of things I'm not proud of for the Big Kill or Max's Head, though I could really care less about buds except as a means to get said items. I was extremely fortunate recently in getting one of those #40 "salvaged" crates to drop...I traded it for 7 keys, and after saving up a bit of metal, I finally got myself a Bill's.

Setting your profile to private is a good way to tell them to fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This is how Mrs Bark learned to play...... just ask Paranoid or Powerlord about it....... This is true. It's very difficult to do much as long as there's a Pyro around dedicated to flushing out Spies. The hardest thing for a Spy to take down is a Sentry nest with an attentive Engineer and a pet Homewrecker Pyro. That's when I say "fuck it" and switch to Demoman.

Bahamut Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I missed a new big update? Bah. Also even if there's an attentive pyro & engineer, you can instead focus on the rest of the enemy team and trust your teammates to do the rest.
