Quoted from private_meta
What I’m interested and what isn’t mentioned there is: If all is in the common folder, will all users using this installation use the same config and hud? if not, where can we place those, that’d be nice to know.
install tf2beta and find out :)
Quoted from Ordinator
so, will it be possible to move tf2 to my ssd or not?
Should be far easier than it is now (I couldn’t find a way to move games between libraries myself, so if anyone knows it, give us a shout).
Personally, I’m far more interested in whether or not they will port GoldSrc fixes they’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks to Source. Like, for example, setting the fps cap to fps_max instead of fps_max – 0.1.

Well atm cuz of gcf’s you need to install steam on ssd and move all other games to another folder, i hope it will be possible to just move tf2 folder on ssd.

Not sure if that is what you are after but I created a symlink to the steamapps folder and moved it to a different drive (steam on ssd – I am using a laptop with a single 120GB SSD – with symlink called steamapps pointing to external USB3 drive which holds actual data). If you don’t know how to do it, just read this:

Ofc this can apply to other dirs, files etc… so you can just move the tf2 and leave other games in steam dir.

If this is due to steampipe, atleast I’ll be happy with the smoother download part.

does this mean multiple users on same pc will have to have same configs?

“When the game is converted to SteamPipe, the installation directory is shared between users.”
Seems like it.

Did Valve mention an ETA for the Steampipe conversion?
2-4 weeks (Valve time).

sv_pure removal is good finally change soundfiles of the original^^
You mean:
– Removing ambient sounds
– Increasing footstep volume
– Changing the faint spy decloak “woosh” sound to “SPY DECLOAKING!!!”
– Increasing uber fizzle sound volume
Etc :/
I’m really worried about these sv_pure issues. If simple texture changing in CS:GO is still unfixed, then why would we expect Valve to fix it for TF2? Not to mention that in TF2 your exploits can be way more subtle (overheal crosses, stickies with big surrounding particles, etc) which will be extremely hard to rule out in an AC demo review.
good guy valve releasing betas so ppl can get head start to fix their hax when it goes live
Forgive my ignorance, but will they really let this through without a working sv_pure? It says right there in the linked article:
We will make sure sv_pure is fully functional before converting any release game.
Surely Valve will realise the implications of not having sv_pure working properly? Or is the problem that this new system will make it much harder to differentiate between legitimate customisations and subtle cheating?
