Hey, has anyone heard of a problem with some source engine games that you have to manually preload 32bit libtcmalloc in order for the games to function? It happens at least on arch and fedora according to my system and everyone on protondb... The issue started back in summer and never got resolved. I used to use it but I read on the initial github issue that there is a chance you get vac banned. I am now scared and hope all my hours don't go to waste on tf2. Sorry for that. I now have been dual booting linux for gaming on windows because of issues like these. Maybe I'll try debian or kde neon...

This isn't some sort of asking for help, just a weird thing that I am worried about and want an oppinion somewhere I think people will say something...

New to TF2 and just saw this video. The amount of effort that went into this is staggering and it came out so well. I love the tf2 video making community and the effort that goes into their content.

It seems to me that every other soldier is somehow faster and has more rockets than me when I try to play soldier and I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do to get better at not dying so fast. I've done jump academy in the past, but I feel like I'm still a bit stuck in regards to my soldier skills (I normally main Medic, Pyro, and Scout) Thanks in advance.

Per title, I'm going to use an Optiplex 790 that's been collecting dust in my room, with a lightweight OS and hopefully an SSD

BUT CAN IT RUN TF2?

> Like previously mentioned, this new framework allows app development to introduce new features much more easily and unlocks a lot of potential for the app. > > In the next release of mastercomfig 9, barring any more patches, you can expect to see support for class configs, crosshair customization, weapon customization and more advanced keybind setups. > > These features are already near completion and are in the polish stage for bug fixing and visual enhancement. I can't wait to see what the community thinks about this, and hope the app becoming a one-stop shop for all TF2 customization provides value to all of you. I'm always open to feedback and new ideas, just let me know what you're thinking of!

mastercomfig should have stayed a performance config; a TF2 customization framework is outside the scope of mastercomfig's goals.

There's a mirror on GitLab. (I really need to get off these proprietary platforms...)

I'm in agreement with the comments: These "god" players bully casual players, and they should not be in casual. God like players would just make people rage.

\Proceeds to harass player for holding unorthodox perspectives.\

Brought to me you by the same subreddit that harassed me when I stating that "Dispenser Range is overrated" (it still is lmao) and "Ubersaw is overrated" (I withdraw that argument though).

Christ no wonder people hate reddit so much...

My favorite post ever.[^(Reveddit)][1]

I keep seeing medic players equipping Crossbow (even though they never actually use it) for extra healing; but the stock Syringe Gun with the mad milk syringes upgrade will give tons of healing.

The mad milk syringes upgrade doesn't have the same expenses as the recharge rate on Scout's mad milk bottle.

1. Upgrade only costs 200 upfront to get.
2. The firing rate of the syringe gun will determine how fast you can apply a duration of milk.

Each mad milk syringe applies 0.5 seconds of milk; the maximum duration of the applied milk can be 2 seconds.

The Mad milk bottle will apply 10 seconds of mad milk; but it can only be used at an interval.

• With healed targets, the mad milk bottle would not be able to constantly apply the effect; because the duration of mad milk on a healed target will get reduced to 2.5 seconds; mad milk's minimum recharge rate (from the recharge upgrades) is 5 seconds.
• However, the mad milk syringes will be able to consistently apply mad milk; the reload time is 1.6 seconds, which is under 2.5 seconds of the mad milk duration on a healed target.

Finally I can make TF bots more challenging!

Looks like Pineapple TF is doing a charity drive for National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Cool! (I hope…)

The documentation is awful; I wish I wrote better documentation.

In a month, it will be the second year since the Source Code leak got publicized.

Old news now but whatever.

I love this video so much.

I still need to add the lump types; but I haven't because I've been so busy (and also executive dysfunction is messing with me).
