It sometimes loses connection to the server, but that's about it. Other than that it works like a charm - I've gotten 5 unlocks (4 dupes :() with it since using it and it beats having TF2 open pointlessly in the background eating CPU & GFX sat on an achievement_idle map, especially during times when I wouldn't be in a position to play it anyway (like now at work).

Might have try this when I get home. Beats idling on a server. :o

Can you play other steam games with it running?

I'd prefer to have it running whilst I'm mowing down zombies. :p
 
Not sure about it running with other stuff, I would imagine it would be fine unless there are any restrictions in Steam stopping you playing 2 Steam games at the same time.
 
On the main post linked, it does say to log out of the game before statrting the program and vice versa.

I played for first time after update as Pyro, walked about 2-3 yards out of spawn and got the Huntsman

Frapple has joined the server
Frapple has join team Blu
Frapple has found The Huntsman

Some people were annoooooooooyed!
 
I think they should have kept the unlocks via acheivements, but with some modifications:

- When you complete enough acheivements, you get get to choose which unlock for that role.
- Achievements should be scaled that the first unlock in each role is fairly easy, the second is more testing, and the third is harder still.
- Once 50% of players have a particular unlock, there is a small random chance that a player without it is granted it.
- Once 75% of players have an unlock, there is a greater random chance of finding it.
- The is a very small random chance of being granted any unlock at any time - small enough that it should be a nice bonus if it happens.
- The should be a limit on how often you get lucky - if you randomly find something, you can't get another freebie until you have a chunk more gameplay under your belt.

These rules would allow the 'high-achievers' to enjoy their new toys for a while, but the plodders wouldn't be left behind for too long. A healthy balance methinks...

This is just my 3-minute theory - I'm sure it could be expanded upon...
 
SO can you 'unlock' new weps by picking the off the floor then as well?

Friend of mine said he got Huntsman by picking it up or something after about 45 mins of play.
