You may have noticed the new sub-forum added yesterday. It's for discussion on oldmeme and Chairman Meow's idea to bring back the old 6v6 matches the Fester's Community used to play. This would involve semi-competitive 6v6 matches on Saturday nights, with possible inclusion to add further nights if it gathers enough attention. However, games can only be played through signing up before hand and being assigned to a random team. The sooner you sign up, the better things will go and the easier it'll be to prepare for each game.

Check out the Forums for further details.

It was a little unexpected but at the very last moment we were made aware of a datacentre move.  Yep, that means for the last long 8 hours Festers Place was totally unavailable.  All machines were turned off and physically moved from one location to another.

 

This should mean a better all round experience for all our visitors and fingers crossed we will be back to uninterrupted game playing.

If you experience any problems please let us know on out forums.

You may have noticed that there is a new menu option on the web site.  No! Well check out Custom Maps.  It's a nice shiny new place for community member maps to be logged and tallied.

So far all the map makers pages have been created but not all the maps have been finished. Don't worry the list will grow so check back often.  So far we have maps by kab, MuG and MildlyMadButShiny.

The new maps cover both payload and capture point game modes.  You can see more details on each map from these links.  cp_paperclip, cp_crackypop and pl_island.

Del has spent some time amending our resolution fix to allow for 32 players on the scorebaord.  As you know the whole thing breaks whenever a major game update is realised and this is on of those time.

Download me first!

Download and extract to your Steam\steamapps\accountname\team fortress 2\tf\resource folder (Same as for the custom GameMenu) after extraction, there should be a ui folder with one file, ScoreBoard.res

Job Done.

There is a plan to change a program (required for stats).  There is a possibility this change will mean a reboot.  Plan outage is during 9am to 10am so if the server is down then please bear with us whilst we make things a little better.
A email which was forwarded to me this morning..
"This evening we will be carrying out a number of infrastructure upgrades including updating our main router's hardware and adding an additional core switch.

The upgrades are scheduled for 3:30am and expected to take no longer than 40 mins. Due to the nature of the upgrades, connectivity will be unavailable during the maintenance period while the new hardware is fitted and configured."
map file not found!

As you know the server has been having difficulties since Friday 13th.  We have seen several fatal crashes which has interrupted all services.

Thankfully, Killer Creations have been unwavering in their support and have kindly given us a new server box to host our services on.

All the TF2 and L4D servers have been transferred and all the forum and website stuff has been moved over to the new box.  This should ensure a pain free gaming experience as well as a seamless continuation of forum access.

It has been unfortunately that a hardware issue has caused so much upheival but we have endured and come out the other side with everything intact.

Big thanks go out to Jase for all the transferring during the wee small hours, to Killer Creations for some fantastic out of hours support.
