Fixed backburner's flame critical hits not being recalculated after collision. This meant that it would check if the target was looking away once and after that the flame could score a critical hit again even if the orientation changed
Added back some damage falloff to the Pyro's flamethrower. Not nearly as extreme as it was before the Pyro class pack
Fixed bug that caused Demomen to take a small amount of extra damage from their own grenades and fly farther using them
Fixed spy getting stuck in players after removing his disguise
Fixed spy stabbing and being able to go invisible instantly
Fixed spy disguised as enemy medic being able to spam voice commands
Fixed buffed health not decaying properly after being healed by a dispenser
Selectable menus can now be operated with number keys even if they are not bound to slot1, slot2, etc.
Removed the remaining speed adjustments for carrying intelligence (a couple of game modes still reduced your maxspeed)
Fixed a buildable item placement bug where the object would not rotate after the user tried to place in an invalid location
Sounds like an awesome update to me. Getting stuck in people as a spy was maddening and rebinding the weapon keys made made making menu selections very awkward.
who in the frick lives in the new york area? hey you, littleboots, and myself are trying to get you fucks to come drink with us so please....pm us or just friggin say "hey dude i wanna get drunk and possibly maybe probably not talk a little TF2 at a bar like, totally"
The problem happens whenever I play two or more games after another. I'll try this out and see what happens. Thanks for the help.
No problem. When I first got the game, I would get that error every time I tried to play. I know how frustrating it is.
I'm pretty sure I followed the directions as posted, and even when giving it the max amount suggested, once again I was dropped. Though I think it made a difference. Before, once the little warning popped up, it stayed there and it was just a matter of time. After the change it would pop up then go away for a while. Unfortunately it dropped me when I was in a really good game and doing a pretty good job defending with a demoman. I'm probably asking too much of my school laptop but it's all I got for now. Would turning down any visual settings help this or is it just about background processes taking up too much memory?
Hmm. I'm not really sure what else to do. You could try turning some settings down, or disabling some unneeded processes to see if it helps. Maybe shoot an email to tech support?
The Pyro nerf is no big deal, it was probably justified. The damage falls off to roughly 75% at max range now. And I don't care about the Backburner since I don't use it. Hopefully the QQing will stop now.
Really if having the drop off removed made you a dramatically better pyro, then you were doing it wrong.
? It was a pretty substantial buff, whether or not you're ambushing, people run to the outer reach of the flames all the time. And it's easier to hit people on the tip because the size of the flame grows in a cone.

Tonight was fun guys. I need to get a laptop soon so I can play it in the comfort of my own home instead of at a LAN Center.
God, things like tonight make me wish I could play Sniper or Spy worth a damn. Seemed like every time I started to get on a roll, Boom, headshot! or shanked in the back.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
I thought you did fairly well, aside from the tendency to get blown straight to hell at random.
I only managed a krunktacular showing on demobowl because there were three medics* on my team. Double ubers are great.
*Also I absolutely adore you guys, keep that healin' coming, I'll make your score shine. I'll make it SHINE LIKE A SHINY THING. DA DA DA DA DADA! RUN, COWA- I think of you I want to know, where is the place we used to go? I feel like I have been away, just thinking of you makes me say: Hey, hey, Daisy May, where are you now? I'm coming to stay! Lanana da da dada, lanana da da!:whistle:
Just give him a no-zoom, 5-second-charge railgun that makes him immobile while using but allows him to stay out of harm's way, making the heavy viable without the need for a medic.
Also, I am apparently a surgeon with the flare gun. I think I missed all of three times in three maps tonight. That'll show you prick demos and medics a thing or two about running away and trying to evade the fire and flames.
Have not played FPS on a PC since WOW came out but I bought this today ( actually, I bought this when it came out for the 360 but mine is in the shop again ).
I play as bob_668. Should be a pretty easy kill while I relearn aiming with a mouse.

I killed at least 4 people on Goldrush with the flares. And that's from the shot itself, not the ensuing fire damage. I don't know how many died to the flames.
I was particularly happy about sniping the Heavy all the way across the map and imagining the camera zoom reeeeeeaaaally far to show a crouched Pyro, instead of the expected sniper.
Man I was on fire last night.
And then the server crashed and everybody left
Anyway;
Fixed spy getting stuck in players after removing his disguise
That should be good news, but ever since they claimed they lessened the false crits and the disguise lag and it didn't make any difference at all I'm a little wary.
Oh and I'm thinking maybe I should revise my opinion of fastlane, maybe it was just the way the teams were balanced but that final round last night was one of the most exciting matches I've played in a long time.

I've had that happen to me so many times, and usually with something like a pyro so I don't have a chance at living.

Huzzah!

Good luck, man. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I did not "leave". My computer blew up and there is problem after problem putting it back together.
Hopefully it'll be ready by the update, Duldumbledork.

So much blood tonight.
But being made into a lesser god is a little sad...
Why must you dance on heavy's head?
Hydro it is so confusing.
I once jumped of the tower in bandlands and landed on a heavy's head. I slowly shotgunned him to death as he spun around.
Playing Hydro Spy is so easy because there at least 5 spots that even when people are running around, you can decloak and stab heads.
Verticals, Stairs etc are great for spy because of the perspective issues.

This ones only funny if you imagine that the pyro is a tiny man.
Coolest Spy Pic ever? Yes.
And it sounds like I'll have to find a new favorite class, since the pyro is no longer the underdog.
Heavy will be updated next.
Will they touch Sasha?

There should be a damage chart in each article.
