To me the best moment was when Lord Booty first figured out how to force the bots to all be soldiers and suddenly there were just waves of rockets flying out the spawn doors, whilst el carne played all of soldier's domination lines rapid-fire. :patriot: :911:

Maybe someone will use the code as reference to build TF3. We know Valve doesn't want to do it...

Yeah this is bad for the game as a whole. Community servers and pug groups can deal with it by having active moderators, but casual is going to implode.

Sweet. Creators is how I’ve been playing TF for the last few months. Seems like this may kill the game all together.

I think people are still going threw the leak, but I’ve seen talks elsewhere of a Remote Code Execution being found, which means people can run stuff from another computer on yours.

I think it might be smart to give it a while until Valve does something. Ive played other games that have been open sourced and usually it just makes people cheat, but this seems like it’s potentially worse due to spaghetti code.

poo poo, first Rick May dies, and now this happens.

I'm wondering if I should just uninstall TF2. I've mostly played casual since I reinstalled it, but I don't want to take the risk of getting my computer hijacked by anything until this blows over.

I already uninstalled, and I don't think I'll be reinstalling again. It being open source now means it's just a matter of time before another bug gets found, and I don't trust Valve to stay on top of it.

Rest in peace, Rick May. Rest in peace, TF2. And thanks for the memories.

the silver lining here is that since they share a lot of source code that any RCEs will be fairly likely to be in the shared part of the code, I'd think. while Valve might be willing to abandon TF2, I don't think they will abandon CS:GO.

The bad news is that this is potentially wider than just TF2/CS:GO and there also might be stuff in there that nukes stuff like Titanfall that are also built on Source Engine. We literally just got the game back on pc after 9 months of a hacker using some lobby exploits to auto-eject you from the lobby.

valve has already shown to be awful at getting rid of hackers in tf2 for years so i genuinely wouldn't touch the game right now unless you really want your computer to be remotely set on fire

an optimist would maybe say that this would inspire valve to do something with tf2 for once but i'm prepared to assume that they would rather just shutter the game than lift a finger, lmao

Uh, do not look at any of the replies other than the original thread unless you want to see completely insane amounts of transphobia.

I guess it kinda makes the death of the whole thing go down smoother though.

It's all rumor right now, but if there is an RCE and the RCE impacts several Source games (incl. the incredibly popular CS:GO) then Valve will certainly fix it and that fix will roll out to all impacted Source games.

So, odds are good that TF2 will be fixed.

Yeah all of the RCE that was “found” was a hoax. I’ve played a couple rounds on community servers without any issue.

On another note, I lowered my sensitivity because of trying out Valorant and overshooting. Soldier and demo are interesting with a really low sense, especially a scout getting up in your face.

Low sense solly was an old school thing with the shotgun and med in tow. Just pumping out dmg. No rocket jumping no problem.
