Speaking of loading times
I tried CS:GO and was amazed by the loading/connecting duration. Soo short compared to TF2 !Is that because CS:GO don't have hats and item servers to synchronize with ?
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39658515]I for one, do not want to wait 10 minutes every time I want to boot TF2[/QUOTE]
wts the matter fgt??? Ur mom cnt affoerd 2 get u a good pc???
lmao looser
Oh man I sure am bad for wanting my games to update parts of their files instead of redownloading everything amirite.
Don't forget the fact that they can make bigger updates with this too since update filesizes are decreased substantially.

Ideally a PC with an 8-core processor, 8GB of RAM, two graphics cards and Steam installed on a 128GB SSD shouldn't have to wait even half a minute. But I have to wait almost six times that long.
Hopefully this update will be able to match the load times I get in CS:GO (3 seconds to open the game, ~8 to fully load). I'm really impressed by that game's optimization.

I use an i5, 8 GB RAM, a single graphics card and a 1 TB hdd for it and it takes like thirty seconds tops to launch TF2.
I mean yeah that could be shorter but ultimately that really isn't that bad.
Hell, I used to use a single-core processor, an Nvidia 9500 GT, and 4 GB of RAM and it never took longer than that to launch TF2.
most of my time is spent validating
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39659418]most of my time is spent validating[/QUOTE]
I never deem to have that problem.
I mean yeah I am totally being the "no problems here ;)" guy right now but I guess I'm just really lucky? I've never really had problems with TF2 getting stuck validating files or anything, it's always been hit the button and thirty seconds or less later I'm on the main menu. I mean every time I install TF2 I always defrag it and validate it before playing it, so maybe that has something to do with it.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39659418]most of my time is spent validating[/QUOTE]
do you exit steam manually every time you shut off your computer? if not, do it. i started to and didnt have to validate since (3 months).
this sounds like a cheesy ad when reading this...
So what did I miss other than the new file format thing? And I actually like the new format, it honestly seems to make things a whole lot easier.

I hope you didn't get a Bulldozer/Piledriver.

My poor naive person was blinded by 8 cores of greatness. Bluescreen on every big budget new release on Steam unless I run a workaround program.
[QUOTE=Everything;39659111]8-core processor[/QUOTE]
say that to my face and not online and see what happens
Just gave a guy my steam account for a Tux, got it back in one piece. Thank the lawd Jesus Christ

I really hope they optimize as well, I shouldn't be getting horrible FPS problems with lower settings than I did with a shittier computer a few years back.

If you enter "Sniper", it comes out as Incest.
If you enter "Spy", it comes out as Ass.

I am not understanding, is steampipe I good thing? Because that's what it sounds like.
[QUOTE=thecuntsman;39655523]Gabe has been mentioning taunts in all of his recent 'lectures', and Valve have been improving their item importer tools for TF2 recently.
I could ask them if we can start working on custom taunts soon, in relation to the Boogaloo content? Then we might be able to get a direct answer on the whole subject. They might even find a way to export taunt animations from SFM into a TF2 compiler.[/QUOTE]
I can imagine somebody putting on workshop
This Heavy Taunt

In the SteamPipe update:
-The Portal 2 Box opens, containing an all-class melee weapon, the steel pipe.
-Gabe Newell resigns from VALVe, stating that they dislike bronies.
-Hale Life 3 is released.
Is anyone else sick and tired of those "gabe is fat" "lol valve can't 3" "hl3 will never be" jokes?
they're getting old though.
nvm

I didn't say Half Life 3. I said Hale Life 3, play as Saxton Hale.

Anyways
Scout = Feces
Soldier = Selfish
Pyro = Love (Twohoho)
Demoman = Bombing
Heavy = Decay
Engineer = Sore Loser
Medic = Noble
Sniper = Incest
Spy = Ass
Saxton Hale = Big Success

How long do you think it'll take for UGC/ETF2L to get all the medals out?
