Mine reset today.

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;21621410]Mine reset today.[/QUOTE] Odd...Mine still hasn't...What timezone are you in and what time is it?

tis been over a week for me ;_;

Items reset.

[QUOTE=Xelatomis;21621998]Items reset.[/QUOTE] What timezone are you in? I'm trying to see if it's based off timezones.

Actually, idk if it reset. Sourcetools just bugged and excited me. [img]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1144/omgq.jpg[/img] -5 EST btw.

GMT -8, or pacific time for me.

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;21624287]GMT -8, or pacific time for me.[/QUOTE] I'm GMT -8 as well..I don't think mine have reset either though (haven't played for 2 hours though..might go double check even though I probably won't get items) [editline]01:24AM[/editline] My drop cap just reset! Found a jarate :smile:

[QUOTE=Xelatomis;21622113]Actually, idk if it reset. Sourcetools just bugged and excited me.[/QUOTE] Probably because of the update. Steam made TF2 crash and it couldn't be relaunched because "servers are busy". Since the drop rate reset for everyone on Thursday, I have doubts about the daily cap we first reported last week. [b]Remember how on Wednesday, everyone hit a cap already, and then it started again on Thursday?[/b] This might have been because the Wednesday after the update was the last day of their "weekly" system. So the weekly cap may be a lot smaller than we originally thought :(

In 3 words : "Weekly Cap sucks."

finally reset for me.

I have already found 2 hats since the new system was introduced. None before that.

Odd. I cleaned my list of dropped items in SteamItemManager, and a few minutes after that an ambassador shows up, but it doesn't show up in the "found items" list.

mine reset today, idling results: [url]http://www.tf2items.com/id/wilsan[/url]

[QUOTE=Clint Cavanagh;21630421]mine reset today, idling results: [url]http://www.tf2items.com/id/wilsan[/url][/QUOTE] Yep mine reset today as well. I guess I'll be idling on Thursdays and Fridays only.

My Sourcetools are kinda fucked up. The SteamItemManage endlessly Auto-Updates, launches, Auto-Updates, launches and just keeps doing that. I know I can type SIM stop to make it stop, but now I can't manage item in game.

I know I can type SIM stop to make it stop, but now I can't manage item in game.[/QUOTE] It's SIM crashing over and over, probably because Steam Cloud was down for a bit. I use TF2 Item Manager instead of SIM because of the recent instability with the steam cloud network, but I had SIM running on the side anyway and it crashed during the day. Now it's working again. I hope the steam cloud downtime explains why my drops stopped 5 hours ago....

If I idle, I get tons of items. If I play, I get nothing. Great drop system Valve.

Know how I can switch it for the time being?

Great drop system Valve.[/QUOTE] One of my worries about the new system is this: If you're connected to a server that's not connected to steam cloud... Or you're just running TF2, but not connected to anything... Does it cost hours from your weekly allocation while giving you no drops? I doubt it, but Valve tends to not think much ahead. [QUOTE=Eva-1337;21634160]Know how I can switch it for the time being?[/QUOTE] It's in the Item Tracker add-on options. There's a setting for choosing the item tracker application. Value 1 = SIM, Value 2 = TIM
