Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;48152949]Don't hound them for an answer then. Because when you get a response that something is "pending," you assume that it's guaranteed. We've seen the disaster that happens when something that was pending doesn't make the cut. Don't repeat that again.[/QUOTE]not really sure how one post with two clarifying the question (one even saying if there isn't an answer it doesn't matter) is hounding them? i literally clarified if it's pending it's fine not to bother answering.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48152922]Oh good, now the warnings are actually warnings that span 10+ minutes, instead of "hey guys update soon!" and then literally 5 minutes later. Just like 2012.[/QUOTE] It helps build the suspense. John "The Hype-man" Shoenick.

Things to probably expect in this update: Suijin Wallhack fix Payload lose-the-round exploit fix Snowplow/Borneo missing props? Probably some random exploit dealing with weapon pickups nobody's heard of yet Things I want Extra, noninfluential contracts? [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]

Okay not long now, the beef is effectively "in transit" since the dedicated server update sequence happened and *almost* completed (but it's pretty much effectively complete since it last landed on a not password protected branch anyway): [url]https://steamdb.info/app/232250/history/[/url]

[QUOTE=1112e;48153280][/QUOTE] - Fixed The Scorch Shot not applying its small knockback on non-burning enemies Yes!

[QUOTE]- Fixed a case where textures and models would fail to load on maps with embedded resources[/QUOTE] Oh thank god EDIT: Spoke too soon, they now crash instantly [I]Good job Valve![/I]

Boxtrot so stealth it actually forces you to alt tab to remain unseen.

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48153141]vaccinator fix pls, that was the only bad change in this update and if fixed I will declare this officially better than the housecleaning update of summer 2013.[/QUOTE] You're forgetting that the Baby Face Blaster is now pretty much pointless as well.

Woo, they heard my email about the Rescue Ranger not healing mini sentries!

[IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] so all of those were fixed why is DR still immune to afterburn

[QUOTE=G. Verloren;48153329]You're forgetting that the Baby Face Blaster is now pretty much pointless as well.[/QUOTE] Bfb actually deserved the nerf it got, vaccinator was already considered weak and they nerfed it further

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48153345]Bfb actually deserved the nerf it got, vaccinator was already considered weak and they nerfed it further[/QUOTE] 1 Hit while you have full boost with BFB literally takes 1/4 of said boost It's a bullshit nerf at best

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48153345]Bfb actually deserved the nerf it got, vaccinator was already considered weak and they nerfed it further[/QUOTE] All they would need to do to make Vacc awesome is remove the ubercharge speed reduction on overheal by then it would basically be overpowered

Local servers, ones created using the create server button which appears as a + symbol, AKA "listen" servers, now result in crashing when nearing completion of loading. Don't expect to be able to use them for the moment, I'll send things in to Valve after testing on OS X too. (also XMPPwocky first pointed the issue out as well)

[QUOTE=FullofCunts;48153361]1 Hit while you have full boost with BFB literally takes 1/4 of said boost It's a bullshit nerf at best[/QUOTE] 1 hit of how much damage? 50? You shouldn't be getting hit when using the BFB, that's basically the point

Can't load cp_snowplow, koth_suijin or ctf_2fort... trying other maps now, looks like tf2 is 100% broken for me now
