I decided to hop on TF2 before I hit the bed just to screw around and since the PA servers were empty I just pubbed it.
Aside from the times when it was 2on2 and my partner was the most ineffectual sniper I have ever seen, I had a great deal of fun. That might have been because 75% of the people barely knew what they were doing, and pretty much had no idea how to deal with a v2.0 Demonight, a pyro with a detonator or a heavy with a Tomislav, but fuck, take your fun where you can get it right?

I wouldn't mind them grinching it up if I could get a fucking cool summer crate. Been playin for about a week now and not one gd summer crate.
EDIT: Thanks a Scottsman. My internet is acting wonky now, but again, I appreciate the summer crates.

I was just wondering if anyone was having a similar issue. Pretty much through the summer event I haven't been getting drops, it started after they updated it last week. Literally did not see any drops, not even crates until thursday when I get seven items at once. Haven't seen anything since. Still can't look up servers either, I have to do the matchmaking choice or go to history/favorites.
I think I got a problem. A practical problem. I try to build guns, but my shotgun is the clear answer... I just did a 18 kills 1 death on HonC with my shotgunning engy and randomly-placed mini-sentry gun!... I should have saved that replay!

So I opened my summer crate and got...
A rogue's col roule. Anyone got a pair of prairie heel biters they can trade to me?
Also willing to trade my vintage backbiter's billycock for them.
Kinda wish the Made Man (my first hat drop!) had a taunt that replaced the disguise kit one so you could be like Dudley in 3rd Strike.
Give me the made man and I'll suck your dick

So I've been trying to get some TF2 action in since the update, but sadly cannot get the thing to not crash on startup since loading it up on my new computer. I've spent a good 4 hours researching high and low for all sorts of witchcraft that might help me out, but all has been for naught.
So while I wait for steam support to respond (4 days and counting..) I'd like to see if anyone has any other crazy things for me to try.
Running an Intel 2500k, Radeon 6990 2 gig on Win 7 64.
Stuff I've done:
Launch options(-32bit, -autoconfig, -nosound, -windowed, -dxlevel, forced single and multicore rendering)
Updated all drivers
Used a variety of Direct X versions
Disabled DEP
Ran as admin
Verified cache
Defragged the game files
Should also note that my other installed Source game, L4D2, runs flawlessly. Really out of ideas.
If anyone wants to trade for stuff that I have, shoot me a message on steam or PM me here. Page 1 is a 1-for-1 trade, unless you want the crates (then you can just have however many you want). Anything else will depend on what's being offered. (Note - I am a fan of medic/pyro items that I don't have, vintage if possible.)

I don't have a lot of advice here, but try -novid as a launch option. It'll disable the startup videos which can cause problems.
Good thing we have replays on the honc, because I sure as hell can't play with the stuttering it causes!
Honestly, I've never seen that bad of stuttering. Maybe one in a round, but never any that it's unplayable. Maybe I'm just less sensitive to ping, though, due to playing QWTF back in a day on a 28.8 modem on AOL.
I know I asked once for people who were seeing it to do a trace-route to the server and send me the results, in case it's a connection issue, but no one ever took me up on that.
Will poke around a bit.

If you want any loot, anything on the first two pages is yours:

(except the keys)
I don't think there's anything inherently "F2P" about that. I'm pretty sure I'd stop in my tracks if I saw a Soldier hanging off a wall at that angle.
Suppose Fan O' War, Degreaser, or a Force of Nature would be nice to have. My Steam Profile is found here.

By the way give me your items and I'll trade them off for a cut you lazy fucks
Edit: Also, that's not my video, found it on reddit.
i discovered i really enjoy playing medic and need some gear.
i think you have everything i have extras of, but here is my backpack

I don't really want anything you got, but I'll just give the kritz to you. Never a bad idea to have more people healing. :rotate:

You're the Sigmund Killingsworth guy?
Looks like you're offline and I'm headed to bed.. so we'll try again tomorrow.

So if they have like 4-5 heavies I can just let go without looking and kill them.
Nope. Ping didn't change at all. At least it was nice to finally confirm my connection is fine and its the server(s) that suck.
This actually sounds like a pretty good idea.
but then I couldn't do this!!
