HOLY SHIT. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I DID IT. AND IT'S A NEW HALLOWEEN EFFECT. GREEN GHOST MANS THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.[/QUOTE]

Thats such a good unusual + hat combo. Day of the Dead and a Mexican hat? Perfect.

Out of all the items I could get as a Strange Haunted, I get the Facepeeler. Unsettling as fuck.

[Electrocuter]

I got Strange Haunted Wings of Purity in the free cauldron but it seems they're bugged, can't equip them because of conflict even though I stripped my medic clean.

[editline]30th October 2014[/editline]

Oh it's the QuickFix that it conflicts with, makes sense but lame that I can't use a weapon with a cosmetic.

[Roo]

I'll play the update tomorrow, but there's one thing that already caught my attention.

There's an item called the Roo Rippers.

Welp.

I thought fully, cleanly reinstalling TF2 would fix this.

Silly me.

[Minelayer]

i have a problem. a harmless 5 dollars became 15 dollars and disappointment.

Be sure to have Steam completely closed when you attempt the SteamService.exe repair. You'll want to verify your files after that step too. After that, you're set.

Also, did you get a link to a Steam Support article in your message?

so is this a weapon or what.

[MrCasual]

I did some of those but that command sounds different than the one I tried. I'll try anything at this point, I might have to reinstall Steam.

Also, nah, just a disconnect. I've been getting this issue for a while, I'll try anything at this point.

Then try the two (three after verification) steps. I had this issue as well, which got me slammed for 30m from CS:GO competitive. Irony is, I thought it was something with the Win10 TP (since I was in it at the time).

[MrCasual]

It takes around 30-45 minutes, which is fine, to see how the map works and all, but its still annoying.

EDIT:

Oh and Im I supposed to be using command prompt for these? Steam repair just seems to take a while, but I can't really tell...

I used run before and it worked, but it took a while and there was no indication of when it would be finished. I might just have to fully reinstall Steam...is that possible without uninstalling all my games?

Nvm, it just said it repaired it...I'm now verifying the integrity of files. Hopefully this crap is over with after this and I can get back to bumper carts.

[Solidskei]

I'm pleasantly surprised at how great this event turned out.

Like I didn't think anything could top 2012 and 2013, but this is incredible. Probably my favorite so far.

From what I've done with it - it's a reskin of the stock weapons for each class (Engineer can use it!).

Also just unboxed this:

[Fluury]

So how do you change to the old targetID?

Or atleast make the health numbers appear in them?

Help?

The event is alright. What's disappointing is how little Halloween items we got. And no new voicelines.

Link to the new unusual effects.

They're alright.

[austin.paquette]

Anyone on any good sv_pure 0 servers? I can't play vanilla TF2 without vomiting violently and most community servers I find are stuck in the eternal floating piss ocean with bumper cars or have pure 1 enabled. Thanks Valve, for introducing a quick and easy way to mod the game, then smashing it to pieces.

Plus these new targetIDs are shit, the icon jitters above the player, it was perfect before. Valve why

[Venomousbeetle]

So do you get one of those strangifiers/kits in each crate or

FUCKING

SHIT

Guess I'll reinstall Steam...I have LITERALLY done everything there is to do to fix this and it KEEPS FUCKING HAPPENING.

[Saucy]

This new bumper car thing opens doors for future ideas. I love it.

[bunnybijou]

the falling platforms minigame is a stalemate fest with a lot of players in my experience
not even the horseman can end it, people just stick to the middle pole and never get launched

[Glubbable]

Valve managed to break soundscapes. They no longer trigger correctly and custom ones no longer work.
How in the fuck did they manage this.

NEW HALLOWEEN THEME

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS

[editline]30th October 2014[/editline]

Oh my god, I've got the only 2 items I wanted from the cauldron

[crazybubba64]

Are the bumper cars func_vehicle?

Or am I just getting my hopes up?

[Glubbable]

[QUOTE=crazeeweegeman4;46364938]Are the bumper cars func_vehicle?

It isn't, its a condition that they add to the player that simulates a vehicle function, so technically, yes & no.

Is what you're talking about the gunshots? Like, when I shoot or hit something, it makes the sound twice quickly, and makes 2 bullet holes. How do they even break this kinda stuff?

Like when you shoot it goes "buddah-bang" instead of just "bang"

Seriously who the fuck thought they should not nerf the mini, but make the halloween map the one map that has a bigger mini problem than hightower.

I gave them a chance, and they blew it.
