#37 144hz Not Constant in Q/A Help
guyystAfter fiddling around with it a little bit I got this working on Windows 10 Technical Preview so I guess it's gonna work on 8 as well, considering that the tutorial wasn't for 10.
Though aside from the (imo)overall worse look, which is the result of removing DWM, there are quite a few bugs, at least on Windows 10.

I mean this technically works, but I'd much rather like an actual fix of how DWM handles multiple displays :/

Well, the guide did mention quite a few bugs even on 8, including a broken login screen. Either way, it's a workaround, but I'm glad it actually does work. This is really promising.

#7 Demoman problem in TF2 General Discussion
DemoTheMannThanks for the help. The worst thing about it is that when I was playing lobbies I was thinking that doing 6v6 things i bad xD welp, thanks one more time

Generally, you're going to want to play a little more passively in HL than you would in 6v6, but other than that, it's mostly the same. Just remember that a lot of classes in HL are unable to deal with stickies on the ground, so you should also be trying to deny players from walking in certain areas. Also, in payload, you'll need to play as more of a siege class on offense, sticking with your combo and taking the uber in to destroy sentries. On defense, you'd want to defend sentries, providing area denial and trying to juggle the enemy combo when they uber in.

#11 pl_badwater_pro_v in Map Discussion

only complaint is the new alley fence looks ugly as fuck. Try grabbing a fence from the border of yard, so the tileset fits.

Might also want to put some kind of ammo pack in that new room on C, which would incentivize actual play there. Engies holding C always have trouble with dispenser placement because there's very little metal up there. Plus, putting a pack in that new room would help the offense if they're trying to push through there.

ScrewballThere is a thread on Overclock.net on disabling DWM in windows 8.1 http://www.overclock.net/t/1441921/windows-8-1-no-dwm-aka-aero-aka-desktop-composition

I run fullscreen so i never bothered myself.

This is the first I've heard of this.

Could you try this method out, tagg?

ScrewballI have window animations turned off.

That's not what I'm getting at. I was trying to point out that disabling DWM disables animations. You can disable animations with DWM still on.

We need to disable DWM in order to fix this bug. Aero Lite in Win8 does not disable DWM.

ScrewballYes you can.

Place this in your C:/Windows/Resources/Themes folder and double click it.

I got +30 FPS with this.

Do you get screen tearing on the desktop, and when you minimize an application, does everything freeze until it's minimized?

EDIT: Aero Lite on Win8 still uses DWM. It is completely impossible to disable DWM in Win8 and up like you could in Vista and 7.

wareyaIt can be on Nvidia. Not on AMD. There's also supposed to be a registry key for it somewhere in 8, but take that with salt.

How can it be done, though? I've tried googling it all day and haven't been able to find anything relevant.

#56 Muselk shouts out competitive in TF2 General Discussion
MarleyYeah but presumably one of the two coaches would have the ability to kick people like that and request a sub, another nice tf2center feature.

Don't enforce a maximum requirement, just allow coaches the ability to report players that aren't new.

The only max requirement that should be enforced should be centered around league placements. Like, if someone has played above Silver or Open, they shouldn't be able to play. There are lots of low-level players with a lot of hours and lobbies.

if you're that upset that someone you don't even care about on the internet is using an avatar on their account that you don't like that you will never see unless you search for it, then the bait avatar has done its job

fatswimdudeim sorry im actively killing this guys thread

CharlieTophat, good places to start for brand new players are UGC Iron division (http://www.ugcleague.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?117-Iron) or playing some newbie mixes (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/na6v6newbiemix)
if you're interested there's also a lot of content available for beginners on youtube as well.

enjoy getting into competitive :)

Highly recommend newbie mixes. You'll need a mic, and it's important that you listen to your coach, but those are the only two requirements. It's a lot of fun and it's very constructive. This next upcoming one is also gunna be a really big deal because of the huge influx of new players, and the whole team behind Newbie Mixes is working really hard to support it all.

Dontrubidium #roadtoyttrium I laughed so hard. I guess people's problem is just that unless you're directly considering taking them onto a team, no need to bring that up.

those names were based on an mvm spree i did, trying to get to tour 39 (yttrium's atomic number), hence the strontium one too. carryisreal is because there are so many stupid people in mvm expert.
