I think Vivi still has a server we can use Vivi: can you confirm and let us know the IP if that's the case? ^_^

I'll throw up a poll in a little bit with some options, but I'm thinking second week of August-ish.

Weekday evenings would start around 9:00 PM EST and the weekend days could start earlier I guess.

Thoughts? Ideas? Objections?

It's been too long! :colbert:

I don't really like TF2 anymore, but i voted for weekend nights.

I'll try to remember, or send out a Steam group message that day to remind us.

Didn't someone try and set something like this up a month ago? Did that happen or fizzle?

Either way, I'm game for a Thursday night session.

By the way, is TF2 crashing for anyone else? I was playing tonight and it...sort of crashed, multiple times. What happened is I was in game, and it basically alt tabbed on me (switched to desktop, but the game was still running). I received no error messages, but I was unable to switch back to the game. Ended up having to control-alt-delete. It happened a few more times and I gave up on it.

This hasn't happened to me before, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the mini update that was downloaded.

I'm definitely in if I remember.

I wanted to join in on a lot of BFBC2 AT games when I was playing, but I always forgot and ended up having something else planned.

Source games are notoriously unfriendly with alt-tabbing. Try running it windowed with no borders so you can alt-tab..

I voted Sunday because I will be out of town all next week and want to play. =( Maybe we'll get another if I miss this one.

Voted Friday because I raid Weds and Thurs nights and Saturday and Sunday are unreliable. I'll be on at ~10:30 if its Weds or Thurs though.

Does anybody play mid-day on the weekends? That's my only real free time.

yep, in every source game, I set this in the launch options:

-sw -noborder -novid

Puts it into borderless window mode and skips the intro video, which is another source of constant crashing if I skip it manually.

I wasn't trying to alt-tab, the game minimized on me (alt tab was poor word choice). I don't know why it did it, as I was in the middle of the game and didn't see any reason for it to occur.
Regardless, it hasn't happened since. I'm just assuming it was a patch issue.

Where can you go to set these?

It's pretty close; will need to cut it off in a few days.

Come on everyone, it's F2P! For as little as $0 per day you can play TF2 with all of your AT buddies! :awe:
