What are your specs? And I think pretty much everyone that can should have multicore up and running now. Since they're revamped it it's been real nice.

Core 5 760 2.8GHz
Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
4Gb RAM
Geforce GTX 460

My Core2Duo Extreme didn't handle it very well previously. I'd get the frames increase, but there'd be occasional...well....extreme stuttering.

And multicore enabling really depends. Some systems it SHOULD be enabled...others it should be avoided.

You'll turn it on, and you'll like it.

 

[Yeef]

I have similar specs (much worse processor: AMD 64 X2 5200+), but the same otherwise (well, I have Win7 Ultimate, but that shouldn't matter). Sometimes it's smooth as butter other times I get tons of stuttering and frame drops. I'm thinking it's probably a cooling issue though.

Multicore seems to help a bit, but not immensely. Some other random variables help more.

I think a trade topic is a good idea! Perhaps we can reuse stuff from the official thread that's being made for the OP?

 

[moojito]

I don't know. Already the mad rush for trading is dying down. There are a few weirdos who have an urge to get a complete set of vintage weapons or whatever, but once they're done, I don't see a trading thread getting much action.

 

[Twig]

No need for a trade topic. U:

 

[desh]

What's the going rate for vintage weapons?

got an extra vintage Bonk, Huntsman, Shiv, Buff Banner, Pain Train, Targe, Ubersaw, Eyelander, Scottish Resistance, Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, Axtinguisher, Backburner, Flare Gun.

Check your PM

Anybody looking for a Spy Mullet?

 

[Drkirby]

Only if you will take Vintage Items for it.

 

[Twig]

I HAVE L'ETRANGER LOOKING FOR YOUR ETERNAL REWARD

[Twig]

UUUUUU:

 

[Drkirby]

You at least have the hats, right?

 

[Twig]

Speaking of hats, I now have four pyro hats: vintage beanie, vintage glove, sombrero, and napper's respite. Also, vintage whiskered gentleman.

Goddamnit Valve, give me some hats for classes that are actually playable.

 

[(._.)]

WELL, I have ALL the Pyro hats *smugface* *smugface* *smugface*


Anybody got any paint for trade?

 

[Borgnine]

WELL

Obviously.

Anybody got any paint for trade?

I got some fugly ass yellow paint.

 

[Twig]

WELL, I have ALL the Pyro hats *smugface* *smugface* *smugface*

It doesn't count when you buy them from the store.

 

[Drkirby]

WELL, I have NONE the Pyro hats *smugface* *smugface* *smugface*


I have Black Paint. Will you give me a Pyro hat ;-;

 

[(._.)]

Does it count if you have a person you're cool with on your friends list who has a bunch of hats which he will give you if you buy him Counter Strike Source? ._.

WELL, I have NONE the Pyro hats *smugface* *smugface* *smugface*

Yeah, you've been asking for a Pyro hat. I'll give you a vintage Rubber Glove for it, sound good?

 

[Twig]

Nope.

 

[Hugbot]

I have some beige paint or whatever if anyone wants beige paint.


Also Yasae I still have that fish but I have been too "busy" to get on TF2 sorry

 

[Yeef]

Brain Slug and Fire Chief are the only worthwhile pyro hats.

There, I said it.

No one said you weren't allowed to be wrong, or you'd be in some real shit.

 

[Yeef]

I play pyro more than you. Therefore my opinion supersedes yours.

 

[(._.)]

The Sombrero is also an excellent hat once people realize it will be rare next month.

 

[Twig]

That just means you don't actually see the hat you wear, except when taunting.

So your opinion is completely and utterly flawed.

 

[Nabs]

Check your PM

i'll be in the gaf server tonight if you wanna trade.

 

[Technosteve]

Smugface smugface meet my boot U: UUUUU; I want pyro gas hat W:

 

[Boonoo]

Got my L4D items, and I traded for a Pot!

If anyone has an Ushanka I'm offering a Glengary Bonnet for it.

 

[Clydefrog]

I gave away all of my vintage weapons (about two dozen or so.)

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Man, I hate how having every weapon means even 1 more gets it moved to page 2.

http://www.tf2items.com/id/ballad

No matter what, one weapon is going to be on page 2 because I have the frying pan.

It throws off my "Page 1 is weapons, page 2 is hats and stuff I'll trade"

 

[Oreoleo]

what do you mean? isn't it rare now?

You should do page 1 for new items/items to be made into scrap. Page 2 and 3 for weapons you want to keep, and page 4 for hats.

 

[(._.)]

Sort of.

They flooded the entire trading market along with the Napper the first week of the update. Tons of people who didn't play Pyro had them for trade so they weren't go for much. People who actually wanted them have them now plust the series 1 crate is dropping less. In a couple weeks things will even out and it will be hard to get.

 

[Oreoleo]

Awesome :\ Pyro is my 3rd most played class and I don't have any hats for it yet.

Organize your pages better!

[desh]

I have a vintage pryo's beanie I'd be willing to trade for a vintage soldier hat.

 

[Oreoleo]

Yeah so I guess 3 items decided to just up and vanish from my backpack.. battalion's backup, darwin's danger shield and my duel item that had 3 duels left on it. So not happy right now. I have a spare l'etranger, purple paint, and 2 series #2 crates for trade if anyone's interested.

So many hats ;-;

 

[desh]

I'll be on tonight as MUJU, but that won't be until after 6pm pacific time.

 

[Yasae]

Ugh, Nabs. And Borgnine? UGH.

 

[Twig]

Don't bother being jealous, he pays cash for those things.

 

[(._.)]

still jealous though *smugface* *smugface* *smugface*

 

[Yasae]

That's like being jealous of a pack of cigarettes. I can go across the street and buy em too.

 

[(._.)]

Bad analogy, cigarettes aren't rare nor are they super cute TF2 hats. I wouldn't be jealous of anybody's backpack though. Anybody with as many or more hats than me that didn't get a hook up idle'd their way to hat heaven. I consider idling borderline cheating. Got a great offer from a steam friend so I said what the hell and gifted him CS:S for a couple hats missing form my Soldier/Pyro collection. Just gonna be straight up. I'm perfectly content with what I have and have no intent to +1 anybody.

Spoiler

Except Twig because he wants my Fez

Actually, I don't really care about the spy set bonus. :3

 

[MisterAnderson]

So for the longest time I've been playing TF2 with vsync/triple buffering using D3D overrider. I HAAAATTEEE screen tearing, so doing this has looked great for me. I've noticed however my incredible shitty skill at sniping, meanwhile in my CS days, sniping was my bread and butter.

I decided to try playing by disabling D3D overrider. I noticed immediately better accuracy. Now I'm at a crossroads. The screen tearing in this game is constant and looks terrible. But I'm sure that the better mouse response time will increase my scores.

I will try dealing with the screen tearing for the time being and see if I can put up with it methinks.

Also, quick question: Is there a way to idle, like in spectator mode or something in order to not give "false" class statistics, and still get item drops? I've never idled before but I have still never looted a hat ever, and it's starting to really frustrate me.

You can idle in spec. As long as idle time+play time=7 hours or so you'll be maxing out your drops. The week resets Wednesday evening.

 

[Yeef]

You should do page 1 for new items/items to be made into scrap. Page 2 and 3 for weapons you want to keep, and page 4 for hats.

I leave page 1 and 2 for stuff I don't care about/plan to craft then use the last two pages for stuff I plan to keep. 1 row for each class (with equip slot aligned by column) and then one row for miscellany.
