Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion)

[Eightball]

One thing I think this lacks is differentiation between crit kills and mini-crit kills. I think minicrits should have yellow while full crits are red.

^^^^^^

And minicrit self-hit sounds so I can tell if I'm getting minicritted or just regular critted. They should be fuck easy to do, I don't understand why they haven't implemented them yet. Then again, they haven't implemented the paintrain/homewrecker/skullcutter/shiv icons either :L

I probably should have phrased that better.

[LV15GAMER]

New update rapes my frame rate.

[Kirby]

I stole all ur framez.

[PyroZombie]

I will need someone to show how to do that in 1-3 days. Do I need to do that, or will the update do that for me?

[KarthXLR]

Yeah, I'll just wait for my new rig before I play tf2 again.

[Chief]

What's weirder, is that it only seems to do this...thing...temporarily. My ping goes up to around 150 and my mic apparently goes on and off. It also seems to depend on what map we're on. Huh.

Kor had the same problem when he connected yesterday, and said he's had that problem since the patch too.  He disconnected, then came back, and was fine after that.  Kor maybe has the cure?  Not sure what he did while disconnected to fix the problem.

I'm just reconnecting, using retry in console. There's no forced disconnect on my part, but it is a mild inconvenience. I've done on investigation on the cause, because the solution is simple.

It may not be a blog post, but it is a revealing interview I think the brbu community could benefit* from.
