I don't play TF2, but I thought basically all hl2 -family games were updated to 64bit ages ago.. apparently this wasn't the case :o
Any of the other games running the same engine still in 32bit land?
- Portal and Portal 2 are still 32 bit. Newer mods based on Strata are 64 bit.
- pretty sure anything other than gmod (and strata games) is still 32bit, even with the vulkan renderer support
Doesn’t look like they bothered to update their macOS client to 64bit. Currently the game is unplayable on new versions of macOS.
finally. can't wait to check the performance difference.
- Significant for me. Not sure if vsync is working.
- For me it is actually huge. I went from 90-120 FPS to nearly 300. I must be some outlier though. I also haven't played a while so old numbers are based on memory and likely on different kernel, drivers and more. I also don't recall if I was using Vulkan before while the new build asked me if I wanted to use Vulkan (and I switched).
Fix the bot issue damn it, and add content
- Bot issue yes, but you can't expect them to keep adding content to a 15 or whatever year old game surely
  
  TF3 then
Finally! Literally the biggest update of the last... how many years?
....okay...why now? Why at all?
- Valve still makes money off TF2 through passive financialization in the game's cosmetic/sidegrade microtransactions. Having a snappy feel to an old game is important. I would rightfully expect a game from 2007 to have perfect performance even if I have other stuff open.
  
  League of Legends (2009) enters the room
- Some OS’s don’t support 32 bit apps
  
  Well, if you're running 32 bit, is gaming your priority here?
- Why not?
- It wouldn't launch at all on rolling distros, bundled OpenGL translator was much weaker than DXVK
- It is one of the most played games on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed (make sure to sort by daily players, TF2's regional/timezone distribution is different from other games)
Aw fuck, time for youtube to force that shitty game into my sub feed again. For fuck sake just die already.
EDIT: Come on you all know that's true, the gameplay sucks and the skin economy is basically just NFTs. You cannot in good faith say you genuinely enjoy the game so much as trapped within it because the community is a fucking cult, one which is forced onto you by every platform at every moment after your escape.
- Uhhm... then don't watch them? Surely these are not the only kind of videos that youtube recommends that you don't want to see.
  Lastly, you seem angry, is everything OK?
- Maybe just let people enjoy whatever game they like?
