Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=ElderLolz;49992397]Doesn't really change anything if it wasn't fun yet.[/QUOTE] Right, because server and game coordinator tests meant to be fun for sure...

[QUOTE=kos8bit;49998217]Right, because server and game coordinator tests meant to be fun for sure...[/QUOTE] apart from the addition of formats this is pretty much the final product. the beta testing is already over.

[video=youtube;U819YrM4bUU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U819YrM4bUU[/video] Huh, has anyone ever noticed this in game?

[QUOTE=Hell-met;49998267]apart from the addition of formats this is pretty much the final product. the beta testing is already over.[/QUOTE] You don't see the back-end part of work that they are doing. If you don't see something - that doesn't mean that nothing is happening and it's the final product. Also, beta testing isn't over, it will be over when it will be in public access, not based on *cough* Beta *cough* passes.

Even if the effect is small, it's enough to make a difference.

[QUOTE=Hock;49996876]The amount of hackers in matchmaking is ridiculous, Valve seriously needs to improve on VAC or let players vote-kick. I played 3 rounds in a row with hackers on the other team, it's near unplayable.[/QUOTE] There are paid boosting services where a guy will hack on your team to boost your rank and I think that should well not be illegal but should get you either banned from every source game or have your steam account terminated because that is SCUMMY

[QUOTE=Erfly;49998526]Simply put, all the models have differing sizes and weights, all which can change their interaction with physics. Even if the effect is small, it's enough to make a difference.[/QUOTE] Assuming the Bread Monster Jarate's travel distance being greater than the other Jarates is programmed that way and not a byproduct of its size and weight, it makes sense - the Bread Monster Jarate has a much larger model that could result in colliding with enemies that the other Jarates wouldn't collide with, as well as having more variance because of its weight and pointy shape resulting in more wind resistance, so to compensate, it travels further by default. It's kind of interesting how it works, at the very least, even if it IS kind of stupid. Simulating actual weights and sizes like that in a game engine is really impressive if it can be that accurate.

It would be nice if TF2 had default debugging commands so this kind of stuff would get noticed sooner. The author of the videos mentioned that this was a special compile of the game.

sigsev has been our man for finding out how hacky and lazily MvM was made for a while. He is amazing and deserves recognition. hes like testinglol but actually useful. Check out his other videos for good findings (not just mvm)

[video]https://youtube.com/watch?v=0_HUrmJK6Ek[/video] [video]https://youtube.com/watch?v=u6wwpTgq-hk[/video] Seriously, go watch some of his videos. I remember going through every video in his channel one afternoon, I couldn't get enough.

Just a quick (porbably stupid) question - can people who have a matchmaking beta pass invite given to them still participate in the beta if they don't have steam mobile authenticator activated?

[QUOTE]We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. The notes for the update are below. We should have it ready soon. - John ---------------------------------------------- - Added display of popular TF2 streams to the main menu - Updated models/materials for the Heavy's Hockey Hair, The Gift Bringer, and The Soviet Gentleman - Updated content and features for the TF2 Competitive Mode beta - For more information on how you can participate in testing, please visit [url]https://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive[/url] _______________________________________________ hlds_announce mailing list [email]hlds_announce@list.valvesoftware.com[/email] [url]https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_announce[/url][/QUOTE]

Did they accidentally mix up the names of the Gift Bringer and the All-Father? The Gift Bringer hasn't been updated in the workshop at all and they're both sort of related to Santa so I wouldn't put it past them.

Hi, I'm grumpy old Damo and I think that the streamer menu is tacky.

Is everyone Fresh Meat on the scoreboards for everyone else? I was rank four and one of my friends were rank 2 but it dispalys everyone on both scoreboards as rank 1.
