I think that patch did something to TF2.

I had issues all night playing it.

There was a lot of lag tonight. The next 2 may be because of lag, but I really don't think so because when the lag hit, it really noticed it.

Rockets would just fucking disappear. one second they would be flying and the next they'd be gone. no explosion animation or anything.

also several times i shot people point blank with no effect whatsoever. one time i shot this medic with probably 10 plus rockets and he never died. they weren't all direct hits but they were definitely in range for blast damage.

another time i was playing scout and several point blank shots never did any damage to the enemies. when it hit them, it looked like sparks were flying off their bodies.

this all happened across 3 or 4 different servers.

anyone experiencing weird shit in TF2 tonight?

I've been playing a few games today and they were fine for me. A couple of days ago though, bodies were falling through the floor everytime you die. :confused:

the updates did something. I downloaded and told it to start TF2 after it was done. The in-game cameras had a light green tint like everything inside the Matrix. The still frame as you die was just solid green. Didn't affect the interface color though. Some lag too. restarting had no effect. Took a hard reboot to get rid of it.

What I don't get is why there are almost daily updates this far into release. Wouldn't you want to wait a bit before tweaking the game? Or is this all VAC related?

I've had issues as well, small ones like not being able to reset personal stats even though the stats recorded weren't mind. I had 17 kills as a demo, but it says 8, and I've played maybe 1.5 hours as a medic, but it said I played 3

A patch on the 30th or 31st messed up performance. A patch released today (Nov 1) supposedly fixed the "performance regression" but it still seems a bit slower than it did before the initial patch that messed it up.

I'm hearing a lot of complaints about the new patches, but I haven't actually had a chance to play myself.

not VAC related, at least not for TF2. There were actual game changes/fixes made to TF2.

Yeah, I also heard a few people comment that their stats for that game reset and stuff like that.

Hmmm. I played for a bit last night and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

I think I have a problem... just thinking about TF2, now I wanna leave work and go home and play it. :-/
