Apparently I can't play Spy on an entirely different server without Rico finding out where I am and killing me.

To be fair most of those times someone else had already bumped into you or otherwise made you visible. Also I spycheck like crazy when I am a heavy next to a l3 dispenser.

That was a frustrating set of games, though, when a team doesn't realize that its complete engineer whoring is completely wiped out by at least two medics for every heavy and everyone else as a demoman. I know usually people don't get the hint for a round or two but that was five in a row I'm pretty sure.

They all switched to Sniper after that.

As Red.

On Badwater.

GodDAMN was Steam buggy as all hell last night.

I didn't notice anything last night, but Steam has developed a new quirk for me. If I'm currently in game and I see someone on my friends list playing a game, any attempt to join them (Via "Join Game", natch) results in the Steam overlay shutting down and never being able to be brought back up unless I close TF2 down and restart.

François · « **Reply #1984 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:26:00 AM »

Ha, the March 10 update claims to have fixed a crash caused by attempting to join a game from the in-game overlay. They probably borked something up in that area.

Brentai · « **Reply #1985 on:** March 12, 2009, 12:54:37 PM »

It just quietly refuses to join friends' servers for me.

I look up and say "connect me".

And it looks down and says "no".

Mongrel · « **Reply #1986 on:** March 12, 2009, 03:46:00 PM »

It won't display internet servers for me. The only way I can get a game is by joining friends or going to servers in my history. A bunch of folks in a game I joined had the same problem.

I've had similar issues with the Steam overlay disappearing for a week or two now.

*Warning! Steam Forums Link Ahead!*

Somebody made some fun pictures of TF2 as an RPG.

I suspect another disappointed blog post is in the works.

Dear god... Heavies have evolved impenetrable skin AND he's drinking BONK. I always knew this day would come. I have no choice left but to fall on my wrench.

Weeeeeeeeeird. I wish pyros could drink bonk and set shit on fire. That'd be amazing.

The only time I ever got to be invulnerable was when Friday played. And then I'd be Mr. Uber Pyro killin' all the helpfuls.

The Fast Respawn Civil War has begun.

Nice idea, until they made it public.

I'll be shocked if my games in the immediate future aren't hit with a deluge of "TrollingWanker has joined the game. TrollingWanker has left the game (disconnect by user.)"

Kazz · « **Reply #1996 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:38:04 PM »

I'd like to think they'll ignore multiple connections from the same person in a short span.

also, the wording on the post implies they've already picked out all their bad servers. Since this is a list compiled since the beginning of time.

anyway. am I supposed to be angry? i'm not.

This was actually caused by a server mod and has been fixed (they also weren't completely invincible, they could be taunt killed)

and on the server points thing, its probably nailed to your steam id, so you'd need a LARGE amount of people joining then leaving.
(this update also breaks reserved slots, which is great)

now they just need a way to FORCE server tags (i've joined presumably stock servers only to find that it had some faggoty donations thing set up so that anyone who donated had FAR MORE HP and if an engie, could build multiple of each building, i quit instantly)

Niku · « **Reply #1998 on:** March 13, 2009, 02:33:58 PM »

thus, their server drops by 15 points. the system works.
