    -novid should reduce the loading time when you start the game. I don't know if -noborder improves performance any more than simply running in windowed mode would.

    Unless you mean framerate. Framerate doesn't improve with windowed mode.

    And if you use the multicore support thing it crashes almost every map change.


    But hey it makes alt-tabbing really easy!!

    It's a really good game.

    On another note, if you guys think any arguing about TF2 is bad, you should hear people whine and complain about DLC prices on 360, and the spawned argument

    shit got heated.

    Never had a problem with map changing.

    Framerate hit is marginal. If you're stuttering from running windowed you have a bad computer anyway.

    Well with fullscreen I get a steady 60+ but if I go windowed it drops to 30ish. 30 is pretty bad.

    Also my game looks better than everyone else's and I will be goddamned if I'm going back. You can pry burning gibs from my cold, dead, rubber-hat glove.

    Posting from windowed mode now, and I see no noticeable difference.

    I have multicore support enabled and use the recommended cvars for using it together with windowed mode and I have no problems. I also don't get those fabled BSODs some people complain about.

    Windowed mode keeps my framerate at a steady 60 FPS versus the usual 40.

    The best way to learn would be to just join one of the servers in the OP, start playing and ask specific questions (in this thread or while playing the game) when something isn't clear.

    Man I would love it if bonk! gave health. Pistol is so incredibly useful, it should have an equally useful replacement.
    Yessssss these were the days.

    Quick history fact: Did you guys know Enders' main used to be spy?

    It would literally be Zen, myself and Enders rolling with each other just backstabbing the whole enemy team.

    That shit used to be so much fun.

    That was like two years ago. Back then their were five PA servers and all of them were constant mic spam.

    Are you kidding? Heavy melee-fests are the worst possible conditions for trying to get pyro melee achievements.

    Actually Heavy anything-fests.

    yeah, but after a few rounds someone gets pissed (Wex majors) and starts playing not-heavy.

    Then people start getting irritated because some jackass (Wex majors) is running around not-heavy meleeing

    and other people start going not-heavy.

    Then it will be the prime of your clearcutting life.


    I know I should be mad at at this, but I can not deny the accuracy of said statement.

    The main reason why I haven't bothered playing on the PA servers. I can usually get on other servers in much less time instead of being bored trying to fill a server that's maybe 1/4 full. And there's more likable people there, though that leads to some partial "team friend list" stacking among us who use a mic and play somewhat regularly (it's boring as fuck when you're playing with mic-less people).

    That sounds like the PA server whenever certain people are on.

    I'd rather server hop looking for the one that's decent, than spend half an hour watching the drama chamber refuse me due to slot reservations.

    At least if I server hop, I can slowly build up a list of decent servers.
