I haven't even been able to queue for a casual match yet, the queue header pops up but then immediately goes away. Guess I'll just wait on a surf server until this all works lol

I do not like the new pyro flame effects. Puffing now gives off zero noticeable flames and looks really weird.

Yeah, the new flamethrower flames look really out place. Looks like Half Life 2 flames or something.

The new flamethrower seems incredibly strong, but it might be because people aren't used to it yet. It kills so fast.

Agreed. And the new airblast is really cool. Sending enemies skidding away across the floor looks sweet. It's more natural instead of just always popping them up with no speed.

I think some of the stuttering people are experiencing might be related to reestablishing connection to item server/game coordinator, since it's almost constantly dropping and reattempting.

TF2 is suddenly detecting my ps4 controller and as soon as I join a game it locks out my mouse so I can't navigate menus (like picking a team), any idea how to disable this without just unplugging my controller every time I boot the game up

Yeah. I play with a 360 controller and I can't navigate menus with my mouse anymore. Also all my binds are gone and I can't set new ones. Thanks for breaking the loving game.

I've never seen stuttering this bad, hopefully it smoothie out when the servers stabilize, and it's not something from the patch

Because as they finally finished creating a matchmaking feature, they were terrified that it wouldn't be popular.

as a counterpoint even though I'm a dirty othergame-av-haver i had an awesome time in the games i played tonight and it's making me dread playing overwatch again. the action is much more up close and personal, and instead of getting mad when i die because it's a huge deal in OW i just think wow that was a sick airshot they did on me and im right back in the action in like 10 seconds. since its 12v12 theres so much less pressure.

i had awful stuttering but i figured it was due to having a million old cfg files cluttering up my install that might not work as well anymore. deleted cfg, forced the game to reset them, and got a new cfg from cfg.tf. not only does the game look way better but it runs buttery smooth now. my weapon viewmodels were broken for YEARS without me realizing until today, i think the fov was way off or something.

Being able to queue for matchmaking while doing other stuff really does own although it's a bit broken right now due to patch day. when it worked it worked fast. The game shows its age when you try to alt-tab and it won't let you, tf2 takes forever to load into servers and I'd much rather go read something online while waiting. I also had a lot of menu glitches but it's patch day and the devs are working on putting out the fires now, they just fixed an issue with the new mission thing and dx8 and a bunch of other small stuff earlier.

This happened to me. Activate the other contract and then reactivate the one you were just on.

Oh wow. Getting the entire player base to fill every available server with farting pyros flying around in jetpacks was the plan all along. This is the lowering of the casket. This game truly is gay and dead.

best part of a new map in a big update is all the returning players, usually half or more of the team, wandering around spawn lost and confused/Conga-ing until they realize that they're on defense, preparation has run out, and they should all really have been on the first point thirty seconds ago

Mercenary Park has a lot of dead ends and rooms that go nowhere relative to what I'm used to, chalking it up to that Overwatch influence creeping in

Is there some sort of trick to actually playing the game now (besides "don't live in the middle east")? I've been stuck in casual queue for 15 minutes.

You should be in a game within 1-2 mins. Check your settings and make sure to raise the ping limit or some thing, you won't be region locked. Also select a wide variety of maps you want to play. If you like badwater or some thing you should be in a game in seconds.

Team composition: 8 pyros, 1 engineer, 2 heavy, 1 medic.
Playing with/against a team full of pyros is much more fun than with/against a team of all spy/sniper, so that's something.

I just wish they'd remember to airblast their burning, non-asbestos-clad teammates once in a while.

Banana Bay is actually really fun. Captures everything enjoyable about Hightower but the point is also achievable. It even apes the ending of Cactus Valley... ball's in your court Valve :colbert:

I think they might need to tweak the damage the Flamethrowers do, they're a touch too strong now, especially in a Pyro vs Pyro scenario(also Pyro's afterburn resistance seems to be screwy right now, I've gotten set on fire as a Pyro several times tonight)

Are you sure that last part wasn't just because of the new gas weapon?

Also the flamethrowers definitely do a lot more damage now. I ran into a Pyro as Scout while turning a corner and killed him with a single meatshot, but in that tiny amount of time he got me down to half my health, where previously I might have lost what, 20 hp?

Currently flamethrower particles aren't visible outside of the highest supported dxlevel (95) so if you're using an FPS config or dxlevel 80 or whatever they're probably invisible. This'll probably be fixed in, I dunno, six hours or so.
