notch hat is only for notch himself, to show players that he's the real notch guy..or something :lol:
From what I heard/read, these last 2 updates made TF2 much more stable than it was since the Manniversary update and such. People also reported higher fps (25->35 for example), and a very good support for alt-tabbing in fullscreen. It's good to hear !
Yes, TF2 is working great right now, I can actually play it: no crashes today ! Well, with "great" meaning "how a game is supposed to work"
10 minutes was about the maximum amount of time before crash. It crashed on map change too, all the time. And when I took a screen shot, and when the doors opened at the beginning of a map and with things like Fragradio, HLStats. And I didn't stop playing. :lol:
Team Fortress 2 - Fixed "Checkout Unavailable" error preventing certain accounts from purchasing items - Improved the framerate stuttering issues some clients were experiencing after questions bout the framerate stuttering, a valve employee answerred: I wish that there were a straight answer to that question, but everyone seems to suffer from a different problem that causes framerate dips, and it's difficult to know whose problems a fix will affect. This change lengthened the amount of time that a dynamic model is cached in client memory, so that we don't have to go back to the hard drive for the files, and also fixed some bugs where the engine would lock up and stop rendering until hard drive access was finished. It probably won't affect persistant low FPS, but it may help situations where you turned a corner and suddenly experienced a slideshow or a frozen screen for a second or two.
they figured they had now all the types of hats now possible. Now they consider continuing on the road with just rename them and refurbish them with new qualities.
