I hope they fix the fucking crashings before releasing the halloween update. I can't even select a class without crashing.
That's weird.
Since last update I did not crash once
but before I crashed every five minutes.
And even before that I never crashed.
I have no idea what is going on.
So, I suppose the big reveal of this year's Scream Fortress is gonna be on Tuesday or Thursday?
probably thursday, maybe even friday
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32938544]probably thursday, maybe even [B]friday[/B][/QUOTE]
But I can only F5 one page at a time! will that be facepunch or the blog?
Which site can I take?
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32938544]probably thursday, maybe even friday[/QUOTE]
Thursday seems more likely, since releasing on Friday, so close to the weekend, doesn't leave enough time to fix any overlooked bugs.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32938544]probably thursday, maybe even friday[/QUOTE]
why not wednesday? last year it was wednesday
I don't know, the blog implied around a week would pass before the update. Wednesday seems a little early in the week.
hows this its around mid this week
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32938970]I don't know, the blog implied around a week would pass before the update. Wednesday seems a little early in the week.[/QUOTE]
"the blog implied around a week would pass"..where do you read that? I see only "before we unleash next week's scare-credible" and "So, for the next few days". But we all know Valve time so its probably thorsday :)
[quote]Here are some quick facts about Halloween, quickplay, and server reputation:
* Please read this FAQ, which answers most quickplay and server registration questions: [url]https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513[/url]
* Having players join and stay on your server is currently the only thing that matters for server reputation. Passwords, crit changes, damage spread, mods, maps, etc, does not affect your reputation except to the extent that it affects client's behaviour. If you have an audience that is having fun, your reputation should be OK. There is no need to ask if doing XYZ will negatively affect your reputation, merely because we haven't specifically said, "XYZ is OK." Should this policy change in the future, we will let you know.
* Certain actions (those described in the FAQ) will make your server ineligible for quickplay. However, those criteria are only examined at the moment a client does a quickplay search. They have no lasting effect on your server (except, of course, to the extent that the loss of the extra players could negatively affect your reputation) and can be toggled at any time. Temporarily engaging in some activity that makes you ineligible for quickplay does not have any lasting penalty on your server or reputation.
* In general, positive reputation data is associated with your game server account, not your IP. You can move to a different IP with no problems.
* Valve *MAY* associate negative reputation data (bans, blacklists, records of abuse or cheating, etc) not just to the game server account, but also to the IP address or owning steam account. (*Not* just a specific IP:port combination!) We understand that not everyone has control over all the ports on their IP. Hopefully the reasons why these sorts of policies are necessary are obvious. Bottom line: protect the reputation of any servers running on your IP.
* There will be a special Halloween quickmatch option on the client. We will provide further details for how to receive the traffic later.
* We highly encourage people to register their servers. There is zero downside to doing so, whatsoever, and it takes 5 seconds. The Halloween gift drops are the first of hopefully many more benefits to come from registering your server.
* We will be watching for servers who are exploiting the gift and drop system, and reserve the right to take action against the account, game server, IP, and steam account that owns the game server. We are not going to provide an exact definition of exactly what is OK and what is not. However, here are two examples of abusive activity: 1.) Giving certain plays on your server special powers or preferential treatment with regard to gifts. 2.) Using automated methods to collect gifts into lots of free accounts, causing them to be devalued in the TF economy.
Thank you for helping to provide our customers a place to play our game.
Your humble servant,

Tonight is the night
Tomorrow is the night.
Yesterday is the night

The Night is the Night
how naïte of you.
I don't think tonight is the night...
since there's so many server changes coming, we'd almost certainly get a HLDS email
Tender is the Night.
(I love that novel)
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;32958078]Didn't we already get one?[/QUOTE]'
No- er, i guess sort of they did. The big change they've already told us to do.
Huhm. Might be tonight.
it didn't really say a date though, a change this big, they'll probably want to make sure the server owners know the exact date
[editline]25th October 2011[/editline]
tonight's the night!
...well not really, but it's something
[quote]We're going to have a required TF2 update coming later today. This isn't the update for the Halloween event nor is it the update that will require your server to be registered in order to receive gift drops on Halloween maps, but, as with all required updates, you will need to apply the update to your servers to allow players to connect.
Thanks,
Tony [/quote]
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;32960368]what is this[/QUOTE]Probably just some bugfixes and miscellaneous changes. Nothing to go "TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT" over.
more teasing us, that's what it is
I'm holding onto my belief of Thursday being the night.
However, this upcoming update probably IS just a few fixes.
[sp]That will make hl2.exe stop working even more.[/sp]
maybe a rocket jumper skin! :o
