This is not a drill: Team Fortress 2 has actually gotten a brand-new upgrade in 2024, and followers are overjoyed, in spite of the spot notes themselves being really short.
At long last, the upgrade has “added 64-bit support for Windows/Linux client and server,” which “should include performance improvements for most users.” Upgrading from 32-bit ways that Team Fortress 2 will certainly have the ability to manage even more memory, basically indicating it’ll have the ability to run much better and with a greater structure price. One follower on Twitter approximates that gamers will certainly see a framework price increase of “around 18-25%,” and lots have actually currently reported significant renovations while playing.
“I’m hitting a stable 250-350FPS whilst my CPU and GPU are both under 20% load, this is genuinely very impressive holy shit,” one gamer writes.
“I’m averaging just under 300FPS in a casual match, in 4K, without using config tricks, that was unheard of until tonight wtf,” says an additional.
It’s not all excellent information though, as Mac individuals that have actually upgraded their macOS to 2019’s 10.15 Catalina or past still will not have the ability to play. Apple finished assistance for 32-bit applications then, therefore till the game obtains upgraded to 64-bit there also, gamers that upgraded their OS will certainly be stuck. As such, the choice to leave Mac out of the upgraded systems makes certain to be frustrating for some.
Otherwise however, the state of mind is really favorable within the fanbase. As expert followers will certainly recognize, TF2 has actually had a remarkable absence of significant updates because 2017’sJungle Inferno Update There was a huge dry spell from that factor on, although it deserves keeping in mind that we did obtain the large Summer 2023 Update last July, also.
Even in this newest spot’s situation, it’s open to question whether you can call it a ‘significant upgrade’ as no brand-new web content has actually been included, although the significant effect on efficiency appears considerable sufficient by itself. Regardless, several are simply enjoyed see TF2 obtain some favorable modifications, and remain in contract that “we’re so back.”
