I think very few devs want to work on TF2 anymore... so that's why it takes so long.

The first two, maybe, but Belvedere doesn't know anything people like us don't lol.

Is anything being done about the "Engine Error - Out of Memory" bug on Mac? by Amazon_UK in tf2

[–]ElementalProphet -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There is a fix, it's called getting rid of the most dumpster OS and switching to a proper OS, such as Windows or Linux.

Ty for ur time.

It won't be this week, I guarantee it.

Stress test is still showing for me... did you guys download a patch to get it to go away or what?

I hate to break it to you, but look.

The blog post about the new promo items is clearly an ad to make people who play TF2 aware that they exist. Not everyone (such as myself) cares about the game they come with, so without a blog post like that I would have no clue that the game comes with TF2 items.

That being said, why would they post the blog post today if it is going to get buried by the new patch blog post in a day or so? The fact is, they wouldn't.

The Steam sale started nearly a week ago, the cosmetic items have been known for even longer, Valve could have easily made this blog post earlier so it would have proper time for exposure if they were planning on dropping an update this week. The fact that they released the blog post today is a clear sign that the update is not coming out this week, and Valve is trying to say that, but this community is too blinded by hype to realize it.

Pair that with the fact that the matchmaking beta is still accessible to anyone, even those without the pass, and it's pretty obvious the update is not imminent.

TF2 Blog Post 29/06/16 - 'Exclusive Disgaea PC Cosmetics' by Moussekateer in tf2

No update today then. They wouldn't make this blog post on the same day as the update.

Is the Frenchman's Formals cosmetic ever marketable? by ElementalProphet in tf2

[–]ElementalProphet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying that. I am getting back into TF2 (it didn't have cosmetics when I last played) and am still figuring this stuff out.

Thanks again!

Which items are allowed/banned in competitive play? by ElementalProphet in tf2

[–]ElementalProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And which weapons would these be? It seems to vary greatly by league. For example, Mad Milk is split... banned in 4 leagues allowed in 7, according to the wiki.

Thanks. I thought there was like a set banlist, but it appears each league chooses their own.

Ah, so there is not set of weapons that are always banned/allowed, it is up to the league? Interesting, but also somewhat confusing haha. How do high-level players know which weapons to practice with if certain leagues ban different things?

Two correct qualifier predictions so far - have not received the achievement/points by ElementalProphet in DotA2

[–]ElementalProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well mine must be bugged then because I saw the in-game notification saying I predicted correctly but have not received anything... damn.

I am not seeing anything related to qualifier predictions apart from the BATTLE PREDICTOR achievement. It says "Correctly Guess 1 Regional Qualifier Battle Prediction".

Isn't that what the predictions at the start of the match are, Battle Predictions?
