Every casual game I get put into sits on "parsing game info" for a minute, and when I finally connect to the server its pretty laggy, sometimes to the point where it says I have lost connection. Apparently this has been a problem shared by everyone in the servers

Has anyone else been having this problem or figured out whats going on?

edit: joined an LA server and it was fine, maybe VA only problem?

basically scorch shot is only better when you are jiggle peeking

make sure its not a text file

who are the "pro gamers" this group "started with"

Okay whats weird is apparently if I change to an alt the game runs just fine so Ill just do that for the time being

Please someone look over this and tell me if there are any issues

I have run my TF2 completely clean and the problem persists, but just in case

Its back again someone please save me from this terror

Does this net_graph mean anything: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1359669873

New update fixed it

The problem went away on its own but its back with this update

Is anybody having a similar problem?

if anyone has an updated ahud would they mind posting it here

Not even kidding gully mid is the best arena

Ill miss melting people with the pocket pistol in pubs

On the plus side, most of the changes are good and you now actually have to aim as pyro...?

I also get 90 fps what the fuck

update: apparently pyro on over 100 ping is unplayable

okay ive done some googling and have only found ways to make bugged flames visible again, but nothing showing me how to make them invisible

I just played this game for the first time since summer, and I just realized I cant see through flames

what changes can I make to see the pyro running at me so I can shoot him

Also its pretty obvious flames work differently than before the update. How do they even fucking work? If i just press w and then s, apparently it just bursts like 80 damage?

8.2.6
Dropping of Players

If a player drops before the first kill in the first round of a half, then the half will be restarted.

If a player drops after the first kill have been made and has not returned when the round has been
decided, then the match will be paused at the start of the next round.

If a player drops and the opponent has been notified before any damage has occurred during that round,
then the round will be restarted

If a player has not returned, or cannot be replaced within 10 minutes after the pause has started, then the
team with the dropped player may forfeit the match at admins discretion

I think that in this situation and considering the timing, they gave it to faze. It was pretty obvious guardian was out of the game at that point and I'm sure at that point the admins had been notified in the teamspeak even if it wasn't in the game chat, despite the third situation having been violated

Its a grey area and thats why I made a poll
