I dont know whats bad:

blizzard's favouritism and inclusion
or
unnecessary voice lines every 10 slides in a serious video?

Also, I dont think Valve has ever behaved like this to their players even when personality like Bulldog has openly said the N word in his Twitch streams and condone racial behaviours in his Twitch Chat.

downfrag me idiots

I tried queueing with my laptop which has 4gigs of ram. I can play normal TF2 fine (pubs and pugs) with Comanglia's config. Normal ram usage hovers around 1.5 gigs (i m on Linux). But when I got a match for Valve Competitive, my RAM usage went upto 98% clogging my entire system to the point I cannot even move my mouse cursor. Nothing was open or running as a background process except for TF2 and Discord. My system was unresponsive and I had to kill the process. I could not join the server when I re-launched TF2.

Maybe this is the reason for so much abandons.

Why do you use your right hand to fap? I thought right hand was for eating and left hand was for wiping ass and fapping. xDxD

I agree that there are few bad eggs in the competitive community. But all communities have them. The point is you cannot claim the whole community is rotten pile of mess just because you have been "tormented" by these minorities.

Also, YouTubers, when ster was relevent, were spreading lies and making fun of competitive side. So its perfectly reasonable to criticize them for their foolishness.

Ster also claims that the only good side of the community is that they donate and organize Tip of the Hats. Its just pathetic and blind. People have wasted their time and money to organize lans, raise crowdfunding, develop platforms and tools, etc. all for the game that they love.

I might have lost a few brain cells listening to his claims and his reasoning behind it.

I hope Valve dedicates as entire update optimizing TF2 so we can play it without graphical config

its windows and microsoft at its best

I am very sorry to necro this dead thread but I have not seen any solutions elsewhere.

So I recently found a solution to those facing the problem. So what you need to do is:

1. Install xrandr
2. go to your tf2 directory

 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/ 

and edit the file hl2.sh then add the line:

 xrandr --output output_name --gamma 1.6:1.6:1.6  

just above

STATUS = 42

3. and then add

 xrandr --output output_name --gamma 1:1:1 

above

 exit $STATUS 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find your output_name by running:

$ xrandr

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my file incase you need referencing:

#!/bin/bash

# figure out the absolute path to the script being run a bit
# non-obvious, the ${0%/*} pulls the path out of $0, cd's into the
# specified directory, then uses $PWD to figure out where that
# directory lives - and all this in a subshell, so we don't affect
# $PWD

GAMEROOT=$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)

I dont think there is but This site helped me alot during high school, helped me self learn C and Python. I dont know if its blocked in your country or not
