ere

You cant

What a fucking busted piece of shit

Comfy experience

And then my game crashed after I turned in that contract. It went through and I got the item but now I have to go through matchmaking hell again

Is anyone else having stuttering issues since the update is used to be able to run it ultra 300 plus frames now I only get 80 max on ultra low and every 5 seconds it goes to 20 frames then back up

how do contracts' "bonus" work? it's limited-- does that mean you get something special for completing it, or it's limited just so you don't level up too fast via doing it?

I think its just something extra you can do to fill CP faster.

they also give you extra stars that you spend to buy new contracts

if I turn a contract in without getting all the bonuses am I locked out of it permanently?

It seems they just help you max shit out quicker and give you extra stars so you can unlock other contracts faster.

>Buy contracts
>Cant even fucking use them
Kill me

Later

No. You can go back and finish bonus objectives later.
I know since I just did it on the starting contract

Nevermind should have read the thread

THANKS VALVE

I hate this

I'm actually enjoying the content and maps look awesome. Just the issue connecting to the servers are my only complaint but once the hype dies down it'll probably be ok

>play tf2
>had fun
Thank you Valve

Ugh

I SURE WISH I COULD PLAY THE VIDEO GAME ON SERVERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK

SOMEONE GIVE ME A DISCORD WHERE EVERYONE IS AT

as long as its VAC secured

WHY

update

After an hour ranting and crying, B4nny "best TF2 player in NA" is finally quitting TF2 because he thinks the new Pyro is OP and ruins 6s! My sides!

After a couple minutes it did update, but now it won't let me join matchmaking at all because I'm supposedly already in a server, but it won't let me join that server either. We need ad-hoc connections to Valve servers so fucking badly

Just restart TF2 I get that shit when I leave through console commands

>older version

Now I'm experiencing a brand new glitch where I can't use the backspace key in text chat. I assume the update added this.

>12.3 mb TF2 download
A-are they fixing it?

New patch notes

>Fixed not being able to redeem War Paints
>Fixed War Paints not displaying properly in the backpack
>Fixed a bug where the first shot fired from pistols was off-center
>Fixed the ConTracker UI not working properly in DirectX 8
>Fixed being able to select a style for the ConTracker in the loadout screen
>Fixed not being able to use the Thermal Thruster after taunting with it

Works fine for me, check your key binds or something

update your game guys

>matchmaking is broken AGAIN
sausage volvo

Another update?

just that 12mb hotfix. but it's still a good idea to download it if you haven't

How long until Pyros per match drops back down to 1-3?
t. pyro main

when people unlock his items, i know once i get his stuff i will then go focus on the pass contracts

Until everyone gets their weapons

>fixing that dumb shit instead of making the matchmaking work

gabriel please

>get like halfway through a contract that requires a specific weapon
>round ends
>weapon disappears
Has anyone figured out a way to get it to reappear without starting the entire contract over?

>"This update is great!"
>"This update is wonderful!"
Is what I would be saying IF I COULD ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME.

This is what gets me
because when I'M ACTUALLY PLAYING
IT'S FUN AS FUCK
THE NEW MAPS ARE FANTASTIC
BUT I CAN'T PLAY THEM BECAUSE OF MEMEMAKING
PYRO IS FINALLY GOOD AFTER SO FUCKING LONG

I honestly can't enjoy Pyro too much right now just because every other player is Pyro and immune to fire.
Why does the gas canister have such a long fucking startup time? I'd be fine with a large recharge time but it takes so long to use it in the first place that I've pretty much been waiting in spawn for it to fill up to try and progress my contract faster.

When the shitters realize that that Dragons Fury requires too much skill for them to use.

Then we'll be back to 2 or 3 proros.

>Takes so fucking long to charge.
>Doesn't even linger for every long to deny the area.

Shit balancing TF2 team.
