When I join a server the game instantly shuts of with no error message or anything like that

This is a known issue, and the coding team are investigating it currently

Hey! Just wanted to point out, the game crashes about 50% of the time when joining a server. I'm on 1.9.0. Any fixed/chance of this being updated?

Tumblr Account Migration

Hello! The tumblr account is now being migrated to tf2classic.tumblr.com. This is because the account we have was set up as a primary blog with a new account, which meant we could not have multiple people manage the blog (which is handy for answering different questions). What we had set up previously was that tf2c.tumblr.com and tf2classic.tumblr.com would redirect here (unless you’re reading this from tf2classic.tumblr.com) to teamfortress2classic.tumblr.com.

This won’t affect anyone shortly much as I will be changing teamfortress2classic.tumblr.com and tf2c.tumblr.com to redirect to tf2classic.tumblr.com.

Howdy! I think it'd be a fantastic idea if you tagged all your asks and got them in one place!

That’s a great idea, I wasn’t planning on doing much productive today so I’ll get that done.

Hey, I'm Jboby1, the guy who's doing CP_Moonmap, DM_meettheteam_solly, and a few other things for the mod. Can Moonmap be tested on the next Community Playtest?

Sadly community playtests are currently ran on whatever server we hop on to that’s running community maps. However, once we have our own dedicated server for this I’ll happily ensure it’s tested.

Am I a mod? Am I just some random dude? Who knows! But in all seriousness, when is the Trello page expected to be back up?

The trello page is currently up, it’s just set to private. As the forums are down, the devs don’t have a place to hold all the private/planned things so the trello is currently serving as that.

All these anonymous asks are just you guys talking to yourselves.

We’re all a part of Mother Earth. Isn’t talking to anyone just talking to ourselves?

Interesting, I was unaware of that.

Is there a reason why the group is spelled 'Team Fortres 2 Classic" with only one 'S'?

As far as I know, that’s simply a typo. We’ll be fair, and say Daniel was probably in a rush to recover after we lost the previous group!

Could there be like a payload race for all 4 teams?

Payload race is one of the more discussed modes for 4 team in terms of level balance as it seems like it might just be the easiest as the objective is dynamic. 4 team symmetry is relatively hard, which is why the “better-playing” 4 team maps are currently asymmetrical (though the mode of Blockfortress works quite well, the layout does not)

Hello, first of all you guys are doing an amazing job and i'm really looking forward to see what you guys have in mind for the future, anyway i wondered if i could use your improved models and textures of the weapons in the regular TF2 and if it actually worked ? They look amazing.

Thank you for the praise. They probably wont work but feel free to try.

So will you be posting pics n updates here?

Yes, ideally a bunch of devs will end up posting WIPs here, but if anyone from the community is working on anything they can submit it in to be posted up here with the “Submit” page.

Are there any new maps that aren't based off original or old TFC maps that you plan on making/releasing?

There are a lot of maps lined up that’re being kept hidden until the right time. I can tell you we have some fair sized things planned with Deathmatch maps involved, and some other very big sized things involving something that’s both very old and will benefit mappers for TF2C into the future (and if it goes well, more like that will be happening).

Do you have any other custom weapon ideas in mind for TF2C?

We have plenty of ideas but put more emphasis on refining what we have. Some weapons have not had a single balance pass yet — please give your feedback during TF2C playtests.Currently we are figuring out a way to redesign the Medic Shotgun to fit the class better. Also, Demoman’s Dynamite Pack (see the old trailers) might replace his current primary unlock.Still, if you come up with cool weapon concepts, let us know. Bonus points when you have a certain custom model in mind for it!

When do you guys normally stream to make content?

Streams are something that have happened previously, and I personally think are a great idea but I can’t answer this for sure as it’s down to the individual developers (and whoever is in charge of the project they’re working on) whether or not they stream, how often they stream and when they stream.

I would personally ensure I stream more, but I’m too often working on things not for public eyes yet.
