VAC live
vac unalive
speculation™️
yes
👀
apparently trigger_hurt was also supposed to get that functionality in this update
how is kill icons gonna be handled now?
(delayerd probably)
till the halloween update
i don't think there's mapname_mod_textures.txt file
:I
whos excited?
chill
my money is on today
valve better patch that shit up
i mean crashes are obv a priority
because i won't play anyways since i have to study
vsh grind
"whoops, we accidentally didn't release the entire update, sorry!"
my condolences to the 200 workshop fix contributors
im gonna play dota anyways
*my condolences
to the 200 workshop
fix contributors*
looks fun have fun
jelly
hey i have a excuse now
btw please post any issues in the github tracker
*btw
please post any issues in
the github tracker*
FUCK my vegas pro is not responding
valve promises they read the github issue tracker
i mean not reporting the issue doesn't help either so
🤷♂️
its like a vicius cycle
so true..
eww dota /j
You're in over your head.
nuh uh
What you see is what gets you.
More friends!
its over guys, tf2 is alive temporaly 😔
take that Rust and GTA5
sweep.. sweep. sweep.. sweep...
the community fixes where are they? lol
VSH crashes are being investigated
the blog post state community fixes lol
trolled
the only community fixes i see are 4
wdym trolled are like
which?
down?
at this pace we'll be the first game with 1 billion concurrent players in only a few days
the blog post replaces "who knows what else??" with "other community contributed fixes"
so really
who knows
who knows what else because theres nothing 
😭 somebody on the other team is named Lizzo's Face Chair
the only reason im going to trust valve to release a followup update is because if they don't i won't be disappointed anyways
they did promise something above average but still average
erm. is funny
but if they dont release more...well...i dont play tf2 anyways
what new tf2 players sees before leaving
So.. has anyone dug deep into the update to find what Valve hasn't publically added to the changelog yet?
Cause it feels like there's more that's happened than it seems
i did
I bet you guys right now VNN is creaming his pants over this update
because that one is from 2019 and does not reflect the current update
i mean VNN was right that if the community does what the community does we would never get this type of updates again so
i guess he's right now?
I don't listen or watch VNN
I just know he is the kind of guy to cream over a tf2 update
what do you watch mr microwave
the undocumented changes:
- war paint case
- croc entity now supports sharks and custom kill icons
- VSH crashes the casual servers
- 64 player servers are now blocked, you can't have more than 32.
- some HUD security fixes
- seal
- doors changed on cp_steel
funke
why are 64 servers blocked?
vnn be like
also isn't like the 64 block would be easy bypassable lol
maybe
literally there's like a plugin for mvm that allows to have more players in a match
lol
isnt the point of the block to counteract that plugin
why would they do that
the engine blocks entindex higher than expected for players
Fr
because it causes instability
shut up guys dota just got a 2.47 mb update
ok
so hyped ..
Dota players when I tear out their ligaments
i have no idea what this means.
dota 2 players are wet rn over a 2.47mb updates 😱
when uhh
tf2 players when they don't like a map maker (i swear guys it isn't harrastment its just free speech!!!)
I know where you live, Tidehunter!
that's because vscript isn't enable by default on casual servers
does that actually crash the server tho
lmao valve spaghetti
I mean it shouldnt crash the server 
i think its more of a oversigth since they did it to prevent what L4D2 players has to suffer
"easy script kiddies on servers"
not blaming the gamemode
ok so thats what that was
lol
valve what are you doing over der 😭
thats awesome
WHAT THE FUCK
My game is crashing with anything bruhhh
this actually sucks man
i was literally right about to queue
i cant play without chat
I loades into upward
fuck no
And ir crashes
finally dota 2 is bearable now

oh god 💀
don't mutations work with vscript?
fucking item servers
how come
i need to talk.
He needs to v e n t
@left sand it was just grey mann voice you trolled me 💢
noo
its spy
grey men
the gamer army has unleashed
i think they might of released it early by accident lol
probably meant to send it out tomorrow or a little later
*probably meant to
send it out tomorrow or
a little later*
there's not even a blog post
what's the map with the seal
selbyen
what
thank you
Did valve just deactive queuing for VSH?
they just fixed it pog
i could but uhh rules 💀
is the echo builtin or because of an effect or something
is it grey too
but basically because no new weapons == bad update
send it to my dms ☠️
reddit's 1984
its on the blog .
low fps for me unfortunately
like, i know this update is not that great
but the fact we have it is
like a nice thing too since we're not tied to a theme
sulfur is an interesting concept which is essentially hybrid steel-type koth, I can't get a real good impression of it rn because people don't know how to play it or where to go
unlike xmass or halloween
sulfur is chaotic but fun
pelican peak just looks pretty
I wish they added extinction 😢
2 dogs playing tug of war
powerhouse moment
does it have water
mastercomfig reduced fps on all water maps 
wow. nice
Adding snakes in Snakewater may be the best update TF2 has had in 2021, not like that's a high bar to reach...
original audio from shar's cover:
youtu.be/Xx8TQfhRVXY
#TF2 #Update #Snakewater
also @slender nexus @summer steeple @radiant merlin should i make a github issue about suggesting to valve to use the testing steamddb to test updates?
what are these pings
epic pings,,,
this sounds kinda mean but I'm genuinely curious: does valve have a qa team or qa contractors
@spare obsidian they do that
iirc yes
i feel this update was accidentaly pushed lol but that's my feeling
waiting for tomorrow when the news reports someone made a bomb threat at valve because the summer update wasnt 10x the size of the Uber update
oh no I know, this just seems like a lot of stuff at once though
erm. its a summer update. not a giga update
click update for update
the blog is different to the updates tab
gg.
knowing how the community is, i can bet it could be unironically true someone does this 💀
vacation
Vac baned
why he t-pose,,,,,
me tomorrow
knowing valve it'll take them a week to fix all these bugs and push whatever other features they may have intended idk
yes
whatts your modulle for water
oh then itll be even worse exblode
valve could also disabled chat restrictions in this updoot
erm.. whats exblode
i didnt recognize this was steel lol
really?!
pyrovision brain damage
im installing this
Thank you for your service
They already took down the VSH maps to look and fix issues.
*They already took
down the VSH maps to
look and fix issues.*
Anyone excited for the hotfix tomorrow?!
today
could be today even
depends on the time zone.
the fix is hot
the problem is so weird
if valve allows vscript in casual get prepared for cheaters speedhacking
*if valve allows vscript
in casual get prepared for
cheaters speedhacking*
wdym?
l4d2's tank run is full of cheaters
and tank run is a vscript gamemode
that's why community servers run smac or lite
I find it funny imagining someone cheating vsh
people cheat in bootcamp mvm
like spinning saxton.
like a saxton that punches you with extended reach
eh, iffy about that since it is a pve gamemode.
my point was that if people are willing to cheat there, they'll cheat in vsh
but also no being pve doesnt justify cheating
Ofc it doesn't, it's just that I won't be super angry if I see one.
i think the bots had it coming to them
everyone transforms into a muscular australian man when they enter the afterlife
fix is hot
hot hot leg
leg so hot
u fry an egg
2fort is an opium map
what do you mean by that
moderator loves 2fort
engineer is secretly growing opium poppies behind the 2fort cow
2fort cow is trojan horse
based
it is in fact back
still broken god damn it
i guess they pushed a change in the hope that it would work
but it didn't
the lift
yeah hightower but one team actually is on a timer lol
*yeah hightower but
one team actually is
on a timer lol*
what
like i've won that map multiple times
you understand that after the round ends the teams swap right lol
*you understand that
after the round ends the teams
swap right lol*
yeah
I was literally just taunting at the top of the hill for half the game and we won, against a team that easily beat us when they were on defense
like I have a small sample size but that was not a close match in either direction
well thats your experience
oh my GOD hardwood is beautiful
and mine is that i've won on attack
i like the rooftops on last
and watched other people win on attack
that is how pro u are
you win by taunkills
pootis pow
WAIT I JUST REALIZED THEY REUSED THE JUNGLE INFERNO EVENT AND FORGOT TO REMOVE THE JI MAPS FROM THE VOTE LIST LMAO THE MAP VOTE I GOT HAD MERC PARK IN IT
heavy update confirmed
I'm halfway through, ranking so far
Selbyen
Sulfur
Hardwood
Phoenix
Pelican Peak
i haven't played any yet 😎
pelican peak is probably the best ctf map in the game
which is why it's the worst map of the update lmfao
not a whole lot it could've done to make me like it
inb4 someone says those player numbers are all lies and the real count is like 5k.
erm
can you make a second ranking where you rank just the looks
thank you
hardwood and phoenix would both move up two spots probably
wow. i block you
honestly all the maps I've played so far look great
do you like the missing textures on phoenix
I did not see any
how
I've heard there were missing textures on venice
I think?
but yeah didn't see anything wrong w phoenix
the only map i had missing textures on was phoenix
skill issue
haven't played eyt
uhhh, it might use a rope entity
which could be hidden by your performance config (if you have one)
yeah it does
yes. it’s called mastercomfig
ever heard of it?
anyway the missing textures are midway b to c
I don't get them, which is odd
erm. show proof?
ok time to try out the new maps at 165hz 😎
what is your central processihh my unit
i need to know that information
7700x
wow. you are pro
you can play selbyen at.... 2 fps
jk it'll prob be fine
i was getting kinda low fps for me at like 70 but i'm on an i7-7700k
i played selbyen it was fine .
it had seal
I also didn't have the latest comfig with the water changes
*I also didn't
have the latest comfig with
the water changes*
the only map that dropped frames for me was sulfur but that's because freyja has never optimized a map before
yes
he sounds squishy when he moves
it feels smoother (because of course it does) 👍
but yeah, i just took a second look at sulfur
and it runs fine for me
vis looks good, has areaportals
granted i was in an empty map with no players
but i don't remember having fps issues on it the few times i played it
it even has expensive water in a few places
so thats surprising
cause maps don't tend to use them
interesting
at the very least i know the little pool in blu spawn has real time reflections
idk if the bigger pools do
but prob not
plus the water is so bubbly and noisy it'd be kinda hard to tell if they did
Voice acting credits taken from the audio folders contained in the new map files.
0:00 - Saxton Hale (Matthew Simmons)
11:18 - Gray Mann (Matthew Simmons)
14:14 - The Mercenaries (James McGuinn)
its actually good
the mercs are kinda scuffed though
but gray and saxton are really good
great reflections
new mastercomfig?
yeah
@left sand why are we the only ones with the water flickering
*@mcoms why are
we the only ones with the
water flickering*
coms you are ruining my tf2 venice experience
i will now have to switch to vnnconfig
i believe this is an issue with fast_fogvolume 1? which has been removed on the dev branch of comfig but is not on the release version yet
so you could try fast_fogvolume 0
o
valve when the funny compiler is broken in their end
yeah i think its a valve issue because like
cashworks has been fine for literally 14 years
now valve will have to release the heavy update
cmon valve at least a blog post
tf2 canceled
we have now surpassed the dota 2 beta player count in 2013
delayed to 2024
real?
by july 2024 it will have been delayed to 2025
patience...
pog
patience doesn't seem to be a thing anymore for tf2 players 😔
Squidward is right. isnt he?
yep
"that was a grate" -sponkbab
THEY DID SURGERY ON A GRAPE
honestly, I am super satisfied with this update
good maps, good cosmetics
haven't taken a look at unusuals yet
warpaints are pretty simple and laid back, nothing super standout, but thats not necessarily a bad thing and i don't blame valve for trying to play it safe
kinda disappointed they didn't push at least some of the TC2 fixes
yeah, but from all the things i've been hearing, i'm really getting the vibe that valve was spending a lot of time making sure the shit they did add was functioning
and the stuff that isn't functioning (VSH) is not really the kind of thing you easily test
because it seems to be an issue with casual and the game coordinator itself
rather than the gamemode or map
Anyone wanna play tf2? @lean cove @left sand @teal sand @summer steeple ?
not rn unfortunately
I want to be at least a bit productive today
tf2 update threw me off so much
naur
😭 another rejection
yep
i'm sorry :(
I will be in cafe voice by my self 😔
I think there are some community servers up running the new versus saxton hail maps
there are
swag
also some other things i've heard regarding the behind the scenes of this update
Watch as skial makes a 24/7 version of it
I'll be on in a bit
swag
one map refused to compile on valve's end for like 2 weeks due to a weird VRAD bug with intel CPUs
I think I also saw someone say they delayed the update at least a few weeks
Valve uses intel cpus for their servers 😭
aren
aren't they like AMD fanatics?
idk maybe they were using them for buildbots
Yes but iirc they probably haven't upgraded
Or they buy premade blade servers
😭 WHY I AM SO TERRIBLE
later
who runs this account
i forgor
shork
so me
HOLY MOLY
the one thing more dead than tf2 itself 
not the seal though
i love the seal
The tf2 faceit twitter account is apparently popular
faceit was gonna replace everything
because of the memes
what does replace everything mean?
how it was gonna kill casual, uncletopia, etc
i remember being pretty excited for it
god I love faceit team fortress two it’s so awesome
but ngl using a separate website was annoying
I wasn't excited for it cause it was faceit
so it requires anti cheat now
yes if you played on linux in like 2017
yeah they wanted to have a ridiculous valorant level anti-cheat
for tf2
for casual
yeah and its valorant level
you had to disable hyper-v
kernel hack
I still think valorant level anti-cheat is overkill
and people still cheat in that game
like people had to disable shit they use for their jobs to play faceit
good thing i exploded valorant
me af
u just liked faceit because no bots
and i hadn’t been on uncletopia yet (was that even open back then or just not as big? i forgor)
wow. this is like.. what skial done. or whatever
clueless
so true mcoms
🫡 gonan spinn up those hyper-v vms just u wait
we just need to ban all linux users from steam
the muta hack doesn’t work anymore noob
erm who is muta
some ordinary gamers
mutahar
Warning to all Faceit (and possibly ESEA) players! Playing in KVM VM with GPU passthrough might get you banned!
he’s the guy who made that libvirt hyperv config popular
that let it work on valorant
wait did skial really bypass the 64 player block in like an hour
pffff
Yeah I saw it in the browser
39/64
it's actually insane
owneded
SUCKS
playing skial is like watching a powerpoint presentation
It literally looks like a cs:go map redone for tf2
appeared on the workshop april 30th, and on tf2maps may 1st
*It literally
looks like a cs:go map
redone for tf*
skial be like: ent
guess what version of the map this is
balls
tf2maps?
wait THATS VENICE????
i never played it
a3
rc1
a6
why does this look better than whatever is in casual
it was uploaded MAY 1ST
how tf did an a6 map get into the game
is that a good or bad thing?
that version, is RC3
I don't get why they did an artpass before idk
thats a bad thing
making the map good
so that means venice got at least 2 weeks of development
That's like gold plating a huge turd
plus any amount of development that we didn't see
now, its not necessarily that the mappers are bad
in fact, they're quite talented
i think fiend should create a map for team fortress the second
fiend did
i'm working on it
valve needs to just delete every map besides 2fort, upward, and banana bay. the art style would be much more consistent
for an example of a map that the same 2 people who did venice did, alongside one other person
You should delete your balls for this take bro
now make it both halloween and Christmas themed
Mutiny looks like a cs:go map
oh it is
So like
Did these two cs:go mappers make this tf2 map just cause they wanted one of their maps in tf2?
here's the thing
making csgo maps is 10000x easier than tf2
all you do in csgo map is put 3 walls down and youre done
I thought for cs:go maps you have to use a bunch of models for ornate details
connector
hopefully the map makers will do some balance changes
Oh yeah the layout is doo doo easy
in fact, one of the maps they worked on (artpass tho) is in the game
middel
Wow. That stinky map
and middle has two asymmetrical flanks with a L-shape hallway
ok but you have to admit that precipice looks good
and thats it
however
thats the map
mcoms if I make a cs:go map in get it in the game, I will dedicate to the best performance config ever
🙏
all the distance units are done for you, everyone knows the engagement times already
|| comanglia
||
put an ad on a banner
you spend more time in calculator than hammer
and then yeah you have to do an insane artpass
😭 BRO WTF
but thats not mapping
50 hours in TF2 and they decided to make a tf2 map?
yes
Venice has a cool bridge! And you can only jump over it if you are a mobile class!
good thing csgo is dying next week
Venice looks like a map you see on a trade server
😭 shit
anyone hyped for next week?
is venice like
Will CS:GO servers still be up, or will it be an overwatch situation
1:1 to cs
no
ike
I do want to bring up cause you mentioned it hurricane
.7:1
is there any regard for tf2
the spawn rooms?
like rocket jumping
the reason its bad to artpass a map early is because it makes it harder to make changes
it has those doorways that most halloween maps have
the ones which prevent you from jumping
then you go for art after the layout is done
corridors . i don’t know
and you get caught on the door
door sounds like boar
@teal sand where did that message go
coms deleted it
gg
she hates meaningful discussion
😭
balls even

i'm looking at the version of venice that is in the game now
and it is... mostly the same
canals is set in venice and it is a bad map 
canal, venice, art pass...... more like anal, penis, fart ass!!!!
venice is a map from overwatch therefore delete
they should add an overwatch map to tf2 1:1 next
Phoenix
doomsday
a2 
oh wait overwatch to tf2
phoenix is legit route 66
i dont know ow maps past like 2017
mmmmmm.., what is that map im thinking of
route 66 was fun but also nostalgia
It looks pretty like an overwatch map too
i’d like hollywood
venice looks good for a tf2 map
hole mole?
the voicelines would be funny
It does, but it feels like a cs:go map
😭
I mean venice is somewhat pretty
sorry i'm still malding about venice
but like
its not
let's fucking go
big fan of oiter
they copied the purpole thign from overwathc.....
I think the most ugly part of venice is the 3d skybox
what were they called again
I tested it
i gave feedback
the uprising
wow. imagine these little creatures are at risk of extinction
and i don't think they made any changes
It is so vague
these things
the 3dskybox
It doesn't even matter if it is there
Venice is a wet dream for pyroshark
this damn bridge has been here since the first release
the water and the sky on the norwegian seal map are literally one color
(my favorite)
I love the norwegian seal map
facts bro they stay silly
yes. a skip for mobile classes. great design
also idk if venice (the real place) is just like this
but isn't this area with the bridge just like 1:1 canals
honestly
GUYS
tc_hydro is a better map than venince
like i'm sorry, i know mapping is hard, i fucking map
but this map feels like it was made in 2 weeks with the express purpose of getting in the game
it wasn't made out of passion
or to make a map
That's what I'm saying
it was made to make a quick buck
also i just find this funny
but the creator of venice
A. was not the person who uploaded it to tf2maps
B. left a review on tf2maps FOR THEIR MAP a day after it was added to the page that just says "incredible"
lmfao
they created an account on tf2m a day prior
fiend you gotta create a reddit thread on r/tf2
i think we should have more stalematey maps in tf2
erm
i see little to no passion in this map
.....
and it is depressing
bad opinion?
and quite frankly, frustrating
because there are people who put hundreds or thousands of hours into mapping
trying over and over, getting feedback
erm fiend. How much money for team fortress map
all to try and make a map that is good
I bet you the tf2maps.net discord has torn venice a new ass
yes
I think tf2 should be less fun to teach the youth about the good old days when we went outside and played stick and hoop
but the mods stepped in a bit because we were being a bit too harsh
its a great map imo
like lots of art and stuff and design
but like it seems like a kind of map a csgoer would make
you know
where its like
layout is 5% of a map
95% is art pass
i just noticed this chimney
oh yeah and this map has chicken wire fences that you can shoot through
*oh yeah and this map
has chicken wire fences
that you can shoot through*
because csgo mappers are used to bullets going through things
but tf2 players aren't
there’s some kind of sniper spot near that bridge too
very fun to spam from there!
also has wire whatever’s
its funny you say that because this map is like 90% brush and i don't think has any custom models
well, at least not any that didn't already exist
how do you play every game to completion within 6 hours of any content coming out
what
idk you answered that one sometime before
you know every fortnite, tf2, csgo, dota 2, rainbow 6, teamfight tactics, smite change
kill r6
i know
That never happened.
i'm wrong
there is custom assets
not a ton
but still
Not ready.
the flags?
that and a few more
ready up for happy farmer
the skybox is ass on venice
Not ready.
they had the chance to make it cool and have like
buildings you can actually see far away
but it looks like sometihng out of hl2
@left sand remake happy farmer in vscript
what was the oldest map to be added here?
cashworks
most pretty map in the game is 2fort
your house will be bombarded in 4 hours 37 minutes
ok so i dug up some old messages
can't wait 🙃
on the tf2maps discord?
anyway
according to one of the devs, in early april venice was 95% greybox
so that means venice was made in a little over a month
at most
bruh
that's actually insane
imagine all of the other mappers malding
that an objective piece of shit got in
what's wrong about venice
it was horrendously rushed
don't feel bad fiend
They wanted to create a map for the sake of fame
for the glory of getting in tf2
at the very least the artist i think cared
how does it looks like?
embrace it
like venice, italy
like a cs:go map
like if they continue to update it and make it good, great
like from what i can tell, the reason it was artpassed so soon is because they wanted it to be on the workshop and look good
good is subjective
but its just
this is an inevitable part of valve announcing a deadline
people will force out unfinished content for the sake of a chance
valve should go back to no communication
ok here's the thing
valve announced this update feb 9th
it seems like early alpha of venice was early april
at the point that you're coming on 2 months late
with 1 month left
why are you trying to make a map to get into this update
from scratch
tl;dr of this drama?
map looks bad. got into the update
the drama is that venice was made in about a month, with little changes, released fully artpassed, and the layout was made by someone with 50 hours in tf2
so i do feel bad for the artist
wutville levels?
idk
it doesn’t have exploits as cool as wutville
this is too far
IT'S TURE
its clear that the artist is good friends with the person who did the layout
I will stand by wutville
they work together a lot
venice is NOT opium
venice is copium
but like
there's a point i think where you just need to stop
like say "there's no way we're making a map in a month"
and i'll give them that
they did make a map in a month
so it was basically the mapper's fault?
and it got in
I think so
