Morning Discussion

Hello everyone, hope the day finds you all well. The TF2 beta unlocked last night after a few hiccups, so I haven't played it but we have this rather comprehensive discussion for everyone. Good Wii news today too, with online play confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Remo placates my need for a Wii Sports sequel with this talk of Table Tennis. That'll do pig. That'll do. Oh, oh, and we gave away some games! Rejected Chatty Title: How Do I Work Th

        Nerfing stuff already? Including the main weapon of one of the most versatile characters?

            And I was a Pyro which mean I have to be in YOUR FACE...but I did get a nasty axe kill on one of them. That was pretty sweet.

            I wish you could snag a snapshot of you gibbing someone.

        Quickly figured out that when you see a team, attack the med first. I took down, or apart a couple of pairs that way.

      same here..

      I'm getting sound stuttering though, within a few mins of starting, then it just freezes with the stuttering.

        is there a command line thing for no sound? -noaudio? or something?

      Mine crashes out with HL2.exe error before getting to the main menu everytime. Anyone else with the same problem?

        yep, have you tried windowed mode? (add +windowed to the command line)

              Awesome. Keep us updated on how to play non-windowed!

              is your hud and everything displaced by about 50 pixels though?

                September 18, 2007 6:23 AM

                well I have no point of reference, since I can only play windowed

                  September 18, 2007 6:45 AM

                  I can only start windowed. After that I can change it to fullscreen in the options but the hud is clearly not where it's meant to be. You have to click below buttons to activate them, etc.

                    Ah well since I cant switch to fullscreen, I wouldnt know about that.

            Do this: -fullscreen -width 1920 -height 1200 -refresh 60

            That fixed it for me. Apparently the refresh thing is the most important part.

        same. except mine just stays stuck in the loading menu with the graphics of the classes. Goddamit.

        September 18, 2007 7:13 AM

        I have to add both windowed mode and width/height: "+windowed -width 1024 -height 768" before it will launch properly. It seems to stay fullscreen though, and once ingame I can set to any resolution.

      Worked fine second time, graphics are incredible, gameplay - well there's only one problem.


      I never was any good at TF and not really into it still :( - but that's not their fault.
      Presentation amazing, graphics cool - gameplay - probably fun for TF fans but yeah - I quit.

      I would like to see what else they could do with those graphics though.

      Mine was getting some shader error. I turned all the graphics and shit down to the lowest settings, and that seems to have fixed it.

      Apparently it totally hates my laptop and refuses to even get to the main menu before crashing, though it runs fantastically on my desktop.

      Gonna try some different video drivers and hope that fixes stuff.

        try -window mode.

        Try what I pasted above, fixed it for me. Before it crashed after the Valve thing (which i could only hear, not see).

          Windowed works, but attempting to switch to fullscreen afterward is all fucked up. :(

            September 18, 2007 8:05 AM

            and starting in fullscreen doesnt work at all either?

              The video plays fine, but it crashes during the loading screen right after.
