angle at spawn. mostly problematic for passive roamer/engi/heavy hold and respawners. Could move the doorway from this new flank back a bit and put the yellow barrels (at the vent in lobby) in front of it so a sniper can't snipe from there anymore. Or just move the other set of yellow barrels that's in the sightline to block it or put another prop next to it

Angle(s) at mid from boxes. The biggest issue here is Toxic because there is a similar angle from the forward spawn.
Would need something like a see-through fence at toxic to cut off both the boxes and forward spawn angle without compromising visibility?
(Personally I'd recommend removing the boxes altogether because they don't serve that much purpose. Then you can block the sightline from forward spawn without having to adjust Toxic)
https://i.imgur.com/2MxuSXq.png fix1 (yet another toxic rework. fence near hp/ammo. I'd recommend putting the packs behind the fence so it favors pushing from 2nd to mid. Or split it into 2 small hp packs on each side so both sides can peak during stalemates)

tf2center is still active (and still as bad as you'll remember it) but if you want casual 6s that'll be what you're looking for.

in-game comp matchmaking is still forcing graphics settings so it has a very low player count.

casual pubs have some cheaters going around every now and then, but it's not as big of an issue as people make it out to be

Not much has changed the past 2 years. It's 99% the same as when you stopped. If you stopped before the pyro update:
Pyro airblast is still fucked, just in different ways
New pyro unlocks other than Dragon's Fury are quite bad and are whitelisted in 6s so for you that might not even be relevant

could be just about any small generic outlined cross. cfg.tf has smallcrosshair7OL and ql_2 which are both basically that

you book a flight back

your 2 best options are
-dxlevel 81 (dx8.1 aka the more stable setting for dx8)
-dxlevel 95 (dx9.5 aka the more stable setting for dx9)

depends on your specs/preferences which you use. I prefer dx9 because I have a decent PC and it's more up-to-date than dx8. dx8 wins you some frames and many people prefer the look. Try both, see what works. I recommend trying 95 first and sticking with it if the performance is fine
