#37 Tips from a 4k hr medic to help meds do their job. in TF2 General Discussion

#101 Thank You Letter to RGL in TF2 General Discussion
RockzPirateer5Perhaps just a 1 week/1 official match ban for every time after the 2nd offenceLOL just cheat every other week then. the increasing ban length is there for a reason

yeah but it mainly punishes non-cheaters doesn't it, surely there's another way instead of a 3-month ban, like mandatory demo uploads for the rest of the season or requesting demo uploads from some past matches, etc

and even if RGL got the demos that they requested, it seems like they don't even look at them from what some people say lol

#98 Thank You Letter to RGL in TF2 General Discussion

The only weird thing is the length of the ban, 3 months is pretty crazy. Perhaps just a 1 week/1 official match ban for every time after the 2nd offence, and mandatory demo requests for a month after a player fails to provide a demo so they can get used to doing it and show that they're able to follow the rule in the future. If they keep failing to provide a demo, they keep getting banned for the next official until they can do it, eventually players would learn how to record a demo

Plenty of things that RGL can be memed about, this isn't really one of them especially if it's like the 4th time this guy has failed to provide a demo lol

Just strange that it's a 3 month ban instead of 1-2 week ban and helping the player so it doesn't happen again, instead of just banning for 3 months and killing the person's reason to play TF2 at all

#4 whats the best scout crosshair and why (help me) in Customization

I just use a basic green cross, many people use this too as it's simple and effective, easy to see, doesn't obstruct your view. Also used dot crosshairs in Overwatch/TF2 which worked well but sometimes you can tend to lose track of it (maybe just me), also many people use konrWings variants which seem to be useful on scout since if any part of the crosshair/wings is on an enemy, you know you'll be doing damage. Usually keep it simple, relatively small, and a bold colour that stands out against the map (green, white, pink, etc)

#11 Warning to all streamers in TF2 General Discussion

Sorry for bump, but -hushsteam means you can't use unlocks in local tf2 servers, would streamers still be safe by just being invisible on Steam or do you need both? Would you need to remove -hushsteam when playing on local tf2 servers, then add it back when you're playing normally? Cheers

#42 TF2 update for 9/16/21 in TF2 General Discussion
aboOodClaymore-aboOodanyone else stuck on the loading screen?It's related to the script which auto-deletes sprays after disconnecting from a server. Purge the materials/temp folder yourself and it should be gone, note that preloading will take longer because of this script.
Thanks for the help, but the clean up method by Mastercoms seems to have done the trick. :)

This one https://docs.mastercomfig.com/9.5.2/setup/clean_up/

Is there a way to fix this loading bug without fully resetting/cleaning up TF2? Tried deleting materials/temp and no difference

EDIT: Never mind, fixed, you need to delete both materials/temp and download/user_custom

#37 Thoughts on new RGL ping guidelines? in TF2 General Discussion
punteroIt is fine, we all knew the rules before joining the league.
The issue now is that we registered and paid our inscriptions under the rule that <150ms players did not count as out of North America (for Peruvians & Colombian players) and organized our rosters according to it as well.

So they waited for you to pay and sign up before killing your teams?
classic RGL

can't wait for next month's post

#25 Valve is getting in contact with Mod Devs in TF2 General Discussion

I mean it's only in Valve's benefit to let these mods continue development and let these modders work on the game that they've pretty much abandoned, it would be ridiculous if they nuked all these mods instead of just making a few legal changes. Maybe further down the line Valve could add finished parts from these mods to the base game as like a modder's update, like how they add workshop content

#2306 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization
kelevroExactly the same problem. In my case, this is very noticeable when i am streaming and playing competitive.

I thought the problem was in the competitive. But sometimes it happens in public too.
Sometimes "record 1; stop" helps, but only sometimes. I can't even get close to understanding the logic of the problem
MoermanI have exactly the same issue. Especially in combo with a recording software. Havent found a fix for it yet, but It doesnt sound like a cfg issue to me rn.

Do you guys use OBS and do you use Nvidia NVENC? I played for several maps today whilst only recording using ingame demos, and it wasn't nearly as bad as it usually is (with OBS recordings + tabbing out to change recording filenames). Wondering if changing to CPU-based encoding might work better or if you guys are already using CPU encoding and it's still bad? That's the only possible thing I can think of at the moment, really frustrating problem and hoping for any sort of fix

#2305 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization
scrambledPirateer5...This is a long shot but I'm mentioning it since its about the only thing I can think of that you haven't mentioned in your post.

In your power settings, do you have your power plan set to AMD Ryzen High Performance?
For clarity's sake, it should look like this:
Show Content

Hi, I don't have that option, I only have AMD Ryzen Balanced, but currently using basic High Performance

I tried the AMD power plan, as well as the normal High Performance and still experience bad perofrmance after a while with both power plans. Was having this issue before on my Ryzen 2700x and I was using that Ryzen High Performance plan and still seeing performance issues after several maps

#2294 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

Hi, posting here to see if there's a potential fix or if anyone has similar issues. My TF2 performance decreases the longer I play, and dramatically decreases after several maps to the point where recordings from OBS are noticeably laggier and less crisp than my first couple of maps. I've tried lots of things like verifying game cache, disabling/enabling fullscreen optimization, disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, clearing standby memory after each map, CCleaner to remove unnecessary drive files, keeping background programs and overlays to a minimum (no overalys at all), CPU and GPU temp stable and low (below 50c). I only have Windows Explorer, TF2, Malware Bytes/Bitdefender, OBS, RTX Voice, Flux, and MSI Afterburner open when I play.

I use mastercomfig medium-low with some module changes to improve specific graphics and enable ragdolls: https://i.imgur.com/g1gLVzm.png

My PC specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cHRtz7

Wondering if this is a common issue or if there's a potential fix, or is it just a TF2 issue and not an issue with my computer/config/issue on my end? My TF2 starts off with pretty much perfect frames and incredibly smooth for the first map, and I think as soon as I tab out once or twice to edit OBS recordings (names and moving around recordings in Windows Explorer), my TF2 gradually decreases in performance until it becomes noticeable after a few maps, and pretty choppy and 'laggy' after several maps. Usually goes back to normal after closing TF2 and restarting my computer, first map is great then it gets worse from there. Appreciate any help or info about the topic, if it's fixable on my end, or just grin and bear it (restart computer after a while, etc). Cheers

#9 How has upgrading from 60hz to 144hz effected you? in TF2 General Discussion

60hz>144hz is a crazy difference, it's hard to play on 60hz any more, just feels laggy and strange. you don't get mechanically better just from using it but aiming and gameplay is so much easier and clearer that it's definitely an advantage
144hz>240hz is noticeable and nice but not necessary, spend the money on other hardware instead

#107 Monthly RGL Thread: July 2021 in TF2 General Discussion
GrapeJuiceIIIPirateer5why is the whole decision process based around a single admin's decision and takes weeks to reverse or appeal? yeah. hold on. time out.

don't the admins meet once a week to repeal this type of shit?? haven't people gotten fucked over because some ruling happens the day they meet and then a WEEK has to go by in order for the repeal to happen as if you can't just say in the groupchat:

if it does NOT happen this way @RGL please correct me but i swear ive seen this exact scenario before

yeah its here don't know if major/minor offence appeals are done more frequently: https://www.teamfortress.tv/59467/monthly-rgl-is-bad-thread/?page=3#61
