This computer is barely a year old.

I've already reinstalled and refreshed win8 a couple times now

I guess I can see where you're coming from--I'm not too sure though considering I've done extensive scans on every component on my comp, That would only leave software, but I've already blanked my HDD twice now, so I guess that has to leave the hardware. I've already replaced the mobo and the PSU so that leaves the CPU, graphics card, HDD, RAM, and probably something else I'm missing.

I don't trust myself messing with this comp though. I live really close to Lange-perhaps miracles could be made? :v

edit: oh hi smaka

No, I don't.

I religiously studied the Approved RAM list for my motherboard back when I was shopping. It should be on there.

Ugh, I really don't want to tear this thing apart. Every time I mess with the hardware its performance just gets worse. I guess I'll look into it though

Yeah, they actually started once I switched. I switched to Windows 7 to fix a minor bug I thought was caused by Win 8 (TURNS OUT I HAD TO FUCKING VERIFY MY GAME CACHE) and ever since it's just been on a downward slope.

Default driver tested. Nothing.

Mini-Update now pushed to the github! Includes a 4:3 scoreboard and a new Stopwatch HUD:

How many viewers did LAN get?

because this is amazing

As for the screenies that were posted a few posts back, I don't really know why those would be off-center; you have a 16:10 res and everything is on c-values

I have 286 friends that play tf2 (rofl) so that averages out to about 2500 hours per player

No problem.

I'm going to try to be as objective as possible here.

With the main menu, I can see what you're trying to do here but my god nobody needs this amount of bells and whistles. It all just adds up to a really cluttered, uneven, and aesthetically poor main menu. You should try to make just a plain version and make the other version a customization option.

With the actual HUD: the mix of lime green, red shadows, random boldface font, and some pretty bad sizing makes everything look really cluttered. (especially the damage numbers; those are a lot bigger than they really need to be). You should also try to keep your heal/damage colors consistent between your main hud and your spectator/targetid, otherwise it just gets confusing (especially for casters).

Also, that killfeed is in a really awkward position (and apparently it changes position from place to place??). I also don't get the random teamcolored line underneath the targetid--it just doesn't look good right next to each other (plus I don't think people need to be told what team they're on when looking at someone else).

In some places you haven't even taken the Cerbetica font from rayshud off yet--you should fix that (also remove the random division lines from the scoreboard).

I understand you say you aren't an aesthetics guy but a hud is about 90% aesthetics. If you wanted to just make a bells-and-whistles main menu, just keep it as a hud mod.

Just my two cents.

(note: the disparity between comp-focused huds and casual huds is really large, if you're not really focusing on making a competitive hud take everything I say with a grain of salt)
