LOL! You got me there, and so the hadouken-firing Pyro has no place in TF2 and Valve should remove him completely.

I still have no idea if I'll ever hit the 10 million HP healed one... My current total is about 900k only... On average I earn about 20-40k a match (Which is about 40-60 minutes long)

For me to hit 1 mil, it would take about 40 matches... To hit 10, would be 400...

That's about 400+ hours (Of just playing Medic, which will most likely drive me mad)... Which leaves me with about 300+ hours to go...


WTFBBQSOZ VALVE!

I guess I won't be able to play TF2 until I figure out what's causing the OS Paged Pool Memory error >_>

I've increased the PagedPool in the registry..and increased the page file just as an extra precaution..doesn't seem to work..bleh

I had this happened to me also. I ended up having to reformat my Hard drive. I hope you get a solution to this and won't have to resort to what I did. Its really ugly, I thought the OS page pool memory only effect TF2 but actually it causes crash on my other games too eg 2142.

My suspicion on the cause of this was double registry from Ati GPU. Because I upgraded my ATi graphic card with another Ati card without cleaning out the registry. Turns out you need to completely unistall your previous Ati card b4 installing new ones. It won't overwrite intelligently. Damn you Ati for making me say that!

Another suspicion was HL2. When I 1st bought Orangebox, HL2 kept crashing on me. After train scene it would crash to the blue screen. It happened so many times, that I think it somehow screwed up my computer. But I did get HL2 to work again after I reformated my HD.

At lease you know its solvable although difficult..

I have no problem with AVG and Stream Games running together
Dark Steno
why use avg anyway? while free is good, there are other free anti-virus out there which are better than avg.

I just updated the Unlocking The Medic Day on the steam community...any feedback? PM me or just discuss it here.

It has been brought to May since I have no clue when the update will be released.

Team Fortress 2 Medic Update Confirmed for Next Week

While it was only hearsay and bordering on a rumor earlier today, it is now confirmed that the major update for Team Fortress 2 will not arrive until "early next week."

Valve's Robin Walker kindly responded to my inquiry of whether or not the "rumor" of a delay was true, and that the update would not hit until next week.

    Yes, it should be out early next week.

    Robin.

Undoubtedly busy, I'd like to thank Mr. Walker for confirming this for us. Expect to see Goldrush and entire teams consisting of Medics starting early next week. The exact day and time are not yet known.

If that's true then the Medic gathering shall be next weekend?

I don't have avg and my steam never crash, just only tf2 crash when sound is turn on =.="

spies taking the teles don't have the teleporter trail showing anymore? wtf? mad.gif
Crossbone
before the update,most of the smart spy wouldn't use the tele in the first place or wait until the teleporter effect to disappear before cloaking and infiltrating the frontlines.

there are some foolish spy who cloak while the effects are still there,but how often you see that?

i don't understand the grieving and RAAAAAGE about that change.
fullmetalneko
ah, i'm not complaining about the change being gamebreaking or anything. it's just always fun to see a hapless newbie cloaked spy running around without realizing that they've still got the teleporter trail showing tongue.gif

I'm not the waitin kinda spy, sorta kind that disguise as own team 1st then switch to the opposing team when I am inside. So before this, I won't even bother using teleporters due to the particle residue effects. Now engineers are gonna be some of my bestest friends; provided that they be smart at placing those teleporters.

Also, a lot of the other class assisting achievements have been reduced (Scout kills 3, Demoman blows up 5 buildings, heavy kills 20 enemies)

Nice to know that I now have a chance to get them all biggrin.gif

Just gave Gold Rush a shot earlier... Pretty damned awesome. Finally a game mode that is tailor made for Heavies. Pretty hectic as well. About as awesome as Dustbowl.

As for the new achievements, I think I might just cheat with the Milestones since that's all you need to get the new weaps and I still want to give the new achievements a shot.
deric88
it's the unlocking medic day still on cause i see it's been removed from calender? since no more achivement unlock code

Do the new weapons look different when the medic equips them?

The Ubersaw looks completely different from the Bonesaw but in-game, I can't see any difference at all beyond the fact that a little box comes out to say "XYZ was using the Ubersaw" after I've been killed by them.

anyone using vista getting this error on every exit? anyone know how to fix?

user posted image
linkinstreet
don't mind it. It's just that when you exit STEAM uses a force exit function so that the game exit faster. XP will ignore this but Vista does not and will give you error

yep mine also get the errorr message nuthing to worry about.....
Crazy.SoT.Gila
Same here. Get it everytime >.<

oh thanks

The Orange Box is now just US$39.99 on Steam.

At current rates, that's about RM128. Great value, if you ask me. Boxed version is RM175 here, and comes with an el cheapo mouse mat.

Unless you're dead set on having the mat, save yourself some money and get it from Steam
confuzan
TF2 standalone is now $19.99 on steam.

ah but i like all the game in orange box u wont regret it.....
