KritzKast the TF2 podcast · 211 Incompatible Versions

Tomb Raider has given us much over the years, from discussions of exactly how many polygons it takes to fill out Lara Croft’s model to hours of gameplay action (mostly watching Lara’s butt as she maims rare and exotic animals). Now it’s in our TF2 with three items for our pleasure. Croft’s Crest, the Fortune Hunter and the Tomb Wrapper. Included in this update are recipes for the Sticky Jumper and Rocket Jumper.

A new convar makes it to the game, sb_filter_incompatible_versions. Not knowing what it does has never stopped us so we making something up, though we probably got it horribly wrong.

The TF2 Beta game gets an update too, allowing you to test your server configs for the upcoming pipeline release.

HVDprops squeeze out some real life Ambassador guns, put them on sale then pull them from the store. Are they too good to be true or have they just realised that you can’t pump out TF2 content without awakening the Kraken Valve Lawyers.

Are 25secs of your eyeball time really too much time to give up in exchange for a free server? Some guys at Reddit and SPUF think so. They’ve joined hands in creating a petition to have Valve block Pinion ads from appearing on servers.

Lastly the ETF2L Highlander Season 4 is live! Most teams have signed up but it’s not too late to get in on the action. Signups don’t close until Sunday 24th March.

    The problem with the Pinion stuff is less the 25+ seconds waiting to get on to a server and more that HTML MOTDs and Pinion in particular crash a lot of peoples’ TF2s and that the ads randomly reawaken during play (being forced to sit through another ad when you were in the middle of a fight is just plain nuts). If it hasn’t happened to you personally, just imagine what it is like getting up to the last few bots in an especially difficult round of MvM and then losing because everyone is forced to sit through another ad while some punk robo scout drops a bomb in your base.
