Maybe they've been aware of the issue for a while but didn't care enough. But with the recent protests decided they wanted to to something positive to boost their morale.

i just mash 4 as it's the closest one to my hands and like you said no one cares what map is gonna be next. Hard agree on Pelt's suggestion. I will say the servers feel really nice and smooth though, so good job on the hosting Steph.

Hi everyone,

I want to start getting back into comp tf2, but I don't feel ready to go into pugs, and tf2center seems like a waste of time. I would love to backup on a team as scout and maybe play a few scrims here or there. I used to be good at the game like 4-5 years ago but am pretty washed up now. I'll need some coaching on some basic stuff as it seems the medic speed buff has affected the scout role the most. I used to prefer playing the combo scout, but I can do whatever is needed.

I should also say i'd be much more comfortable playing with mature and well adjusted people. I will immediately leave mumble if I hear any sort of racism or anti LGBTQ+ comments. I've got no patience for that.

step 3: NEVER self upfrag (UNTIL someone else upfrags, then you get that sweet +2 and it looks like someone else did it)
step 4: don't be an idiot
step 5: never trust the animemen

Dante was such a fun player to watch. It always looked like his crosshair was moving through molasses but he never stopped hitting shots.

Fox!

His laugh is a treasure that is to be protected at all costs.

Moderating scrims on servers that aren't hosted by RGL is pretty dumb. You know what else is dumb? Not telling people they are idiots when they think it's just a joke or its funny to say the n word, or be abusive to others. So you know what the best option would be? RGL doesn't moderate scrims, but team leaders choose to refuse to scrim teams with idiots on them.

nice necro

Just did some further testing, looks better at 720p for sure. Seems to be only truly 120fps at full screen with google chrome (at least on my setup). Given how nice it looks though i'd love to see twitch up the bitrate and add official support for faster frame rates. See the below clip for an example of tf2@ 720p/120fps. You can see at the end of the clip the bitrate fluctuates and the visuals get very boxy. I think 720p@60fps 6k bitrate is probably still the most optimal settings for tf2 in particular.

I tried it out, it still honestly looks pretty good. I'll probably drop to 720p so the bitrate can keep up a bit better.

forgive the awful gameplay i'm so washed up that the average pubber will clap me.

That said, I find 120fps to be superior when watching something fast paced like tf2. As long as you have the hardware drops really aren't much of an issue. I was pretty stable at 1080p@120fps with drops only occuring with alt+tab's and large 32man esque pub team fights. For 6s i suspect that wouldn't be an issue at all. But yeah, that bitrate is an issue.

Just wanted to let people know who might not be aware, but if you set your framerate in OBS to 120fps while streaming twitch will actually play 120fps video on the 'source' quality. *note it will say 60 fps in the twitch menu, but if you check the stats of the stream it will show 120 fps*.

If you're using NVENC i'd recommend dropping to 720p unless you're using an RTX card as they handle NVENC much better.

Hopefully we can see some speed bumped streams!
