Yeah its just ROT-13, not even tough to recognize....

[Kirby]

There's a running joke between Valve and we admins on the HLDS mailing list, it involves the localization files.

One patch it was "Undocumented changes: Updated all localization files"

Another it was "Didn't update the localization files"

[Kirby]

We've released a mandatory update to Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.

Well, something changed in between the last time I played TF2 on my netbook and now. A month ago, I was able to play on med-high settings from my netbook at windowed at 1600x1050 resolution on a 1080p monitor with no FPS issues whatsoever (~30 in action). So I try playing today (at 720p native resolution) and the FPS is hanging around 10. I have not changed drivers or anything like that since I last played.

What the hell happened and what can I do to fix it?

1. TF2 updated.

2. I wish I knew.

Update:

I rolled back my Nvidia drivers (which were doing just fine a month ago) as a last-ditch effort, and to my surprise, TF2 and L4D2 now have decent FPS again. It seems that whatever Valve updated did not mesh well with the newer set of graphics drivers.

I only downloaded my drivers from Dell, not Nvidia:

Currently running: 257.30, A01

Was running: 285.62, P08 (listed as beta on the Dell site, but I don't think it's beta on the Nvidia site).

I randomly tried uploading new sprays and found that I could actually upload them to tf2 without having to resort to witchcraft

I can't help but feel sorry for Didzo for what dirty ol' Valve did to the heavy. It must suck now that you can't instantly recover more HP than four classes start out with on a moment's notice. I'd be devastated if I couldn't shrug off 150 points of damage on command because my dedicated pocket medic isn't around for a few seconds.

Yeah. Heavy is pretty much unplayable now. ):

I didn't know what I was looking at at first, so I made assumptions.
