Again, I was making a suggestion for *match making*, not esea. I know just as much about that as anyone. The point is I want something fresh and more inclusive...fun for people that 6's doesn't appeal to in its current rigid form; we already have 6's.

Whoa...vitriol? Where?

Honestly, I really didn't mean to offend. I tweeted a suggestion that I believe would make match making better for the general tf2 community.

Apologies if I offended anyone; I'm honestly confused as to why what I said is being interpreted this way :(

1) "Offclassing" is a term based on the premise that there is only one class composition. I'd like to see more new configurations, not sporadic variations on the classic. "Stale" means no longer fresh; tell me how the 2 scout/2 soldier/demo/medic configuration is "fresh".

2) I'm talking about match making. I don't want it to be 6's, I want it to offer some new, different, and more inclusive.

3) Twitter has a character limit. I'm not upset :d

4) ^ + word

A) calling something "stale" isn't "trash talking". The class composition for 6's has seen 0 experimentation since the days of the format's inception. That's simply fact.

B) Yes, I have limited experience in 6's. How does this make my observation that 6's dogma essentially outlaws class experimentation illegitimate? I am suggesting that match making would benefit from this, I'm not calling for the death of 6's.

C) What reasoning is it that so many of you are labeling "bad"? It was a tweet. I offered no reasoning.

D) I'm not sure what I did to merit such hatred, I try hard to be a nice guy. I think some of you are nice people that are dehumanizing me because I'm "famous". Be civil, it's a good thing.

Using ProcessLasso with Razer Cortex will do the same things for free.

Use ProcessLasso to either run non-hl.exe processes on the cores tf2 is not using (it uses 4 max) if you have more than 4, or for 4 core-only CPU's, offload some strain from the core which tf2 over utilizes relative to the others by disabling affinity for Core0 for all non-hl.exe processes.

Razer Cortex requires little to no configuring to work.

I had this happen, too. Afraid a clean install of Windows was the only solution :(

If he doesn't get banned....I will be so happy.

What's host_timescale and host_framerate set to?

Ugh.

I made the list without making videos. Let's have lunch.

Bitchin'!

Thanks for sharing.

Regardless of demand, as a captain, medic is the first class I try to secure when building a team.

Thanks, that's why I said fps *should* be capped with gsync :)

I use fps_max 134--double tf2's tick rate.

If you want to have your pick of the litter when it comes to finding a team--and generally do the community a favor--go with medic.

Hopefully, you are or are up for learning to be comfortable with the pressure of being the most important member of the team, and are up for being an active communicator.

You'll also find the class will benefit your "game-sense" and the more cerebral aspects of being a "good player" more than any other. As someone with an inordinate amount of time invested in competitive tf2, let me assure you, game-sense and smarts are the most important thing to hone in the long run; the rest plateaus and/or is ultimately restricted by natural ability and talent (or lack thereof).

Once you tire of playing medic you'll have a really sharp sense of the way the game works and be well-equipped to put whatever skill you invest in other classes to work.

Tearing should only be occurring when your FPS exceeds your refresh rate. It's odd that you're experiencing it with low frames. 70 minimum is actually about what I'd expect from your specs, by the way--tf2 is simply poorly optimized.

Make sure fps_max is set to "0", it can create odd "tearing-like" artifacts and there's no point in capping unless you're using Lightboost/ULMB or Gsync.

Back up your settings/autoexec and try the launch option "-default" to let tf2 auto configure itself. If this fixes it you can rest assured it's a certain command/setting or combination of commands in the game that are the culprit, not your setup.

Speaking of gsync, it *is* a very nice upgrade that would resolve tearing, among other things. If you have some holiday money left, you might want to consider researching gsync monitor options. You could sell your current one and buy a nice used display with similar specs + gsync for a reasonable net expense...heck, I'd sell you my Gsync vg248qe for what you could sell that benQ for, come to think of it :P
