Ugh, I got all excited for nothing. Still fucked over. :(

Not that I play on many maps with Nailguns, but that update was way overdue. I don't think I'd ever been fragged by a nailgun and hadn't got too many frags with it either. Hopefully it will be a bit more useful now.

Does anyone know if there has been any talk about the Proxy Mine Launcher being nerfed at all? Dying to noob mine-spam when you spawn is one of the most infuriating things in the world.

[Tree_]

I dont think there going to be changing the Prox Mines any time soon seeings how most people i've talked to/threads i've read about them on the QL forum have had only good things to say about how they work; with that said though I couldn't care less because I dont play rune maps.

Yo tree. What's your FOV?

[Tree_]

I use 120, which a fair few people find odd but meh, I like it.

I just recently started using 130 just because it's the highest option. Why 120? Why not just go for the extra 10?

[Tree_]

Cant really rail with 130, fucks up my depth perception but at the same time I like using a higher then average fov.

Also for any Australian players interested, i'm going to be running a 4v4 CTF Pug tournament through PremiumGamer, check it out here if your interested.

Alright, so this problem is really starting to piss me off.

I'm really thinking it's something to do with Windows 7, because nothing else has changed but me upgrading. I uninstalled the new version of Firefox thinking that was the problem, and got the old one, but it still ran like shit on the old one. I tried IE. Still ran like shit. So I'm thinking "Well, maybe it's my internet?" I go to my little brothers laptop and open QL up, ran perfectly. Of course, he's on Vista. So what the fuck? All I can think of is that it's something to do with 7. No luck on the QL forums either. :/

EDIT: FIXD LOLZ! Installed Windows 7 Beta Graphics Drivers and it runs perfectly now. Woot woot!
