MAJOR TF2 update for 10/29/13 (Fifth Annual Scream Fortress) - Games

Aaaand the Vaccinator is broken. You can not switch modes. Also, WHY did Valve have to pick Hightower, its one of the worst maps, along with 2fort.

how many weapons got added

I've had exactly 0 crash issues on this map, and only very slight fps issues when magic spells are used Either you're all overreacting or you need better rigs

So, this update in two pictures: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/523835521305112068/B4295BE477BC6141F26A9E3B4E5D568DC0DD5112/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/523835521305127101/B28BF2D0B645211657BE89375238C34E742FE00A/[/t]

[QUOTE=HyperTails;42696942]I've had exactly 0 crash issues on this map, and only very slight fps issues when magic spells are used Either you're all overreacting or you need better rigs[/QUOTE] i have a 2 year old graphics card thats direct x 11 and runs the game perfectly fine at max settings with my i5 2400 not over clocked with 4 gigs of ram.

Are the skeletons using the tf_zombie entity?

As I'm writing this I was only able to play Helltower creating my own server, since every SF 2013 server I try to acess either kick me out due to lack of connection or lags far beyond playability The map is rather fun, I must say. On a side note, Pyro's new voicelines are ... a little off, to say the least I also don't like putting a restriction on all those wonderful items. An honorable mention goes to the Spy's cowl: I'd really like to wear it all year, but alas Also, my deepest KUDOS to the user who did those bird heads. I followed their birth on the Halloween Event Emporium, but when I actually saw them in-game ... well ... shit ... (NOTE: I was a member of the largest Italian Facebook fanpage of TF2. The Magic Mercenary has put all the members ablaze because they quite don't get the parody nature of said item. I tried to explain such thing to them, I was insulted. I quitted the page shortly after. That's Italian videogame communities for you)

Wonder when skeletons will stop crashing the game.

Skeletons aren't even crashing the game Nothing is, it's all you and whatever you've done to your TF2

Why, valve couldn't make event map out oflast stage plr_night fall. Also I wish that all older maps, would be updated featuring new and old gifts, that you could find in one gift, spell or coostume piece from prevoius years. I am still sick of eyaduct and harvest is almost noramll map.

[QUOTE=TomZa;42696903]how many weapons got added[/QUOTE] No weapons were added

Its a shame the samurai soldier outfit is restricted. it would fit in the game 100% fine, but sadly valve didn't think that far ahead of tagged HW2013 stuff.

Do ANYONE KNOW WHATS THE POINT OF THE FANCY SPELLBOOK????? I HAVE AN UNFILLED SPELLBOOK AND I GOT 1x SPELLBOOK PAGE SO 2 left to fill the book BUT WHATS THE FILLED BOOK DO?????

are they going to update the the update to, you know, make it not broken? just froze and got an engine error message when trying to start up on a server

"omg its totally valves fault that they were restricted how could the poor contributor have known ;___;"[/QUOTE] Still sucks though. Basically all the content is strictly only available for Halloween, and we still didn't get a proper Spookyvision to let us bypass this issue

Apparently Eternaween is a single-use item that calls a vote to disable halloween restrictions temporarily. So much for that.

[QUOTE=Trixxter;42697988]I mean they "could" have had a quick glance through some stuff and thought "hm... maybe that'd be better NOT restricted."[/QUOTE] If you submitted an item with a Halloween '13 tag, it was pretty much a contract stating "I am completely willing to have this item be restricted". It's completely nuts to blame Valve for doing exactly what they said they would do. If you want to have a childish gripe with someone, have it with the contributors. They were the ones who willingly accepted the restrictions.

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;42695434]Because your game is getting too spooked. I know this isn't related, but would anyone happen to know the song?[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W1wpBqqaj8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W1wpBqqaj8[/URL]

They were the ones who willingly accepted the restrictions.[/QUOTE] My gripes is more with the Eternaween not only requiring votes to pass and only being active for a short time, but also being single-use. This is a very disappointing solution compared to our hopes of getting a Hallovision. Hell, I'd be fine with the Eternaween if it wasn't single-use rather than maybe only use-able once a week.

Eternaween should have just been as the name implies. It's not eternal if it's temporary and requires consent from other players (who can easily just tell you to fuck off and not consent to it). What it should have been is an option to locally disallow visibility of Halloween items outside of Halloween/Full Moon. So if you are a big baby who doesn't want to see a unicorn hat besides the 3 days a month the full moon is out, you can see nothing in its place. Of course the way the response rules are set up mean that the voice lines will still play but that's not that much of a big deal.

Do the bird head lines play at all or are they very rare like the unicorn head? The lines for the second opinion medic head play so often, heard the same line about 30 times in the same life, they will get boring so quickly.

But didn't we speculate before that they added a new type of Vision into the game files somewhere? (not pyro/rome vision)

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;42698310]Of course the way the response rules are set up mean that the voice lines will still play but that's not that much of a big deal.[/QUOTE] Disguised spies clearly show that different responses can play depending on the client. It'd be easy to replace those voice lines with their regular counterparts if the whole thing was properly implemented (which would be very improbable coming from Valve, I'll give you that).

The game is so crash-tastic that it is unplayable for me. Way to go, Valve.

For example, being a Spy with the Spy Voodoo Soul and then disguising as a Soldier or Scout will prompt your disguise to use their respective Voodoo Soul lines even if the disguise lacks the item.

Seriously, am I the only one who hasn't crashed at all?

the game is crashing all the time and some of the weapon animations are seriously fucked up wtf valve
