  • TF2 is running like shit. Terrible choke spikes where I stutter or freeze every two seconds since the April 1st update.

    You always have problems

    Well I mostly have problems because I have to play over 3G due to there being no other choices out where I live now. But it's not just me, others have been having issues since April 1st and there is a thread on Spuf complaining about these recent terrible choke issues. Up until this month the lag was bearable but now it's just borderline unplayable, can make a video if you'd like so you know I'm not full of crap. ;)

    I'm not saying it's a problem with Skial just to be clear. It's a problem with my internet and TF2. Before this month it was working alright, as good as can be expected from 3G, bearable and playable after I adjusted to the high latency and could play well enough.
    Shit I forgot to turn off my paid vpn before connecting to a Skial server. Hope I don't get banned.. Instant respawn now on Dustbowl? o_O

    I thought they would have reverted that shit by now. I heard it was only supposed to be temporary until Valve figured out some way to keep servers like Saigns and Nighteam out of quickplay. I feel bad for all the decent communities being affected.

    They added options to quickplay which no one uses. Since no one is complaining on spuf or reddit anymore they don't care.

    Well I did post a thread on Spuf yesterday about this to complain but Valve obviously doesn't care and I read that concerns emailed to them went unresponded to. :/
    Got my 3G hotspot. Been playing TF2 with a ping of 100ms to 150ms that feels more like 300ms. So very laggy.
    Next week I should have 3G service thought Virgin Mobile, hopefully I can get back to playing TF2. Latency sucks too bad with satellite.
    So I bid goodbye soon. Next week I'll be moving back to the boonies where only satellite and dial up internet are available.

    Well I call it that considering the lack of decent internet. It will only be around six miles outside the city I currently live in and around four miles from the closest village.

    The reason I am moving is my parents live out there; we keep hoping that one day Fios or cable will be available out there. Besides my parents living out there I know the land lady and the rent is affordable given my current income; I also have the option of buying the place.

    Might as well move into the Alaska wilderness, shit is way better up there.
    Anyone else getting random friend requests from unknown users on Steam?

    Why don't you accept their request and see what they want

    I don't accept anonymous friend requests. I don't know what they could possibly want, I don't recognize them from any servers or from any community. I don't have anything up for trade nor have any valuable items. Looking further into it, it appears they may be adding random people from groups they are in.
    What's up with rating posts dumb that aren't dumb? All my negative ratings were unwarranted.
    Xtreme2damax
    Xtreme2damax
    I don't really care other than in my view ratings are considered reputation. There is no need to rate a post something it isn't.

    You're still 11:1 for positive to negative.

    On these forums some people will rate things negatively for no apparent reason. Best thing you can do is to pay no mind to them, it happens to everyone from time to time.
    Looks like I will have to disable my paid for VPN access when connecting to Skial servers. :/

    Maybe it's a sign that you should pay for your internet instead of a VPN.

    I don't have the money right now. I currently have a payment arrangement with Verizon but I won't be able to get service restored until at least next month. I'm moving within a month so all of what little I have has gone for stuff for my new place. I can still play on servers and browse secure websites without a vpn but I can't browse the community, market or trade as normal http traffic is being redirected.

    The vpn is just a temporary workaround until I have the money for the bill.
    Almost lost my s.Festive Minigun due to getting distracted while selling summer claim checks on the market.

    Thank goodness the person that bough it was a kind and honest person, acknowledged my mistake and returned it to me. I wanted to give him something but he said don't worry about it, just be more careful next time. :P
    Loving my new Logitech G500. With this I aim better and can turn on a dime. Didn't know what I was missing using crappy mouses all this time

    Yep definitely. I realized using a high sensitivity/dpi for heavy makes the class much easier to play. It's more precise and responsive in general.

    Plus you get a ton of thumb buttons to bind useless voicecommands to.
    Funny how people say I am bad without knowing what's going on at my end. So I go in with an alt and do good sniping and now I'm good.

    I've been playing on the Dustbowl NY servers over a year. Don't really say a word but got harassed anyway. Why do people need to be a-holes for no reason.. It seems like the servers are full of 13 - 15 year olds.

    Same for me on Harvest NY. I have developed a small reputation with certain people who feel the need to taunt after every kill against me. But when I dominated them I'm still 'bad'. Makes me lol.
    This other player decides to start crap with me for no reason. I rarely ever say anything so I don't know why anyone would have a grudge. :/
    When my roommate went to Walmart I asked him to pick up a new mouse for me. He comes back with an Onn Walmart brand mouse.

    I know that's generally the case but with my last mouse which was a Logitech M510 there was virtually zero mouse lag with that particular mouse.

    Must've been a good one. And yes, I myself have had a few really nice wireless mice that I pucked up for dirt cheap.
    Crate #50 YU NO DROP. I have only two stranges to go to complete my #50 strange set. Then I can get a s.gunslinger, s.Machina & s.Kritz.

    Y U SO RICH. JK, the stuff in 50 went down like super fucking fast.

    Don't care what the value just want those stranges for my collection and to level them. Don't currently have enough to trade for them so I'm hoping I'll get some #50 crates to drop.

    I thought the normal Dustbowl servers were laggy. However nothing compares to the lagfest that is the Dustbowl+ server.
