I was under the assumption that valve had been using sv_pure 2 servers for quite a while before I installed comp viewmodels, because it was working fine for a long time until really the summer update, do you know if anything changed?

Hi! I've been using comp viewmodels for around 2 - 3 years without any real issue, I cam back recently after a while of not playing the game for the summer update just to find out that they didnt work. The only time the viewmodels load is on my own servers. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the viewmodels, verifying game cache, reinstalling the game itself, all to no avail. If you guys know any fixes, it would be much aprreciated.

(Btw this is a repost of the reddit thread i made Im just hella desperate rn)

Im not saying we should get rid of casual nor am I saying that we should get rid of friendlies to a certain extent friendlies have been a big part of the reason why this game has survived for so long (At leasts that's what I'm told) im just trying to say that toxic behaviour like the behaviour exhibited in the original post are highly damaging to the game.

you bring up my Time on the game is that supposed to mean something as if my opinion is now invalid because i've spent less time in the game than you?

Me? Mate I made this account specifically to post this, I can guarantee you this is no alt

Thats a fair point. I dont specifically find any joy in killing friendlies sometimes a bit of a grimace comes onto my face when they react to it but as a whole I dont find it much more fun than killing a non friendly, the reason I stay is because I see no point in leaving if it doesn't affect me when I play the game why should I, I think this type of behaviour affects our community but not me specifically, but I do see what you mean it would be best to leave but I just can't find a reason to leave if it doesn't affect me

Because this behaviour affects the community as a whole and it gives the tf2 community which I think as a whole is mostly a good community a bad rap

There is no reason, there not affecting how I play the game, as you said I just find it highly infuriating when people do this shit, they can call me a gay faggot who cares, but what does matter is when they start kicking people out for not being or going along with them being friendlies. So no im not just gonna leave.

I don't have a problem with people playing the game differently I have a problem when friendlies start to get mad and vote kick you just because "You KiLlEd A FrIeNdlY"

well no, I'm not gonna leave a server if somebody calls me an idiot or targets me it doesn't affect me, and why should I leave just because I killed a friendly?

I see this in casual I dont play comp so I dont know but what I can say is being a 'friendly' in competitive is just disrespectful to people playing the game seriously.

so I just played a game of 2fort ctf and the entire server we're trying to be friendlies which is fine but I doesn't mean I can't kill them so I did what I did and I just killed them, obviously they got mad and started trying to fucking hunt me down and kill me, this never affected me sure I died every once in a while but I didn't really care, but what gets to me is the mindset of these fucking idiots, if you don't want to taunt and suck some heavy off in the corner of the intel room then your a 'try hard' as if its there fucking god given right that they shouldn't get shot at, its people like this that make tf2 look bad especially to new players these fucking idiots say that there trying to have fun and forget that other people want to have fun but also dont need to fucking play as a friendly to have that fun. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated especially from people that call themselves 'friendlies'.
