POLL - TFC 1.1.0.8 patch
Since the last 'upgrade patch' 
Valve have introduced a whole new range of bugs into what was a good game.
I've played TFC for a while now, and I like to think I'm fairly conversant with the way the game plays & works. It isnt just me saying this either - a lot of players I've met seem to be complaining about the same things.
1) Since the 1107 update I havent been able to use OpenGL without crashing, and since the 1108 update D3D mode crashes on me too occasionally.
2) Its laggy, with increased occurances of 'CL_Flushentity Packet'
3) When joining a new server or new map, sometimes you cant select a team or specate, and have to disconnect and reconnect to the server.
4) The aiming for snipers has gone all over the place (for example, playing last night I had a spy charge straight for me - no dodging at all - so I hit him in the chest with a full power snipe at medium range. Nothing. So I hit him again with a weak shot - Still nothing. Then several times I've taken a quick snapshots at the enemy, knowing full well I've missed by a mile, and the game reports I blew their heads off. )
5) Maybe its just me, but there seem to be a lot more HWGs around and they're harder to kill with a sniper rifle than they used to be. At the same time the blast radius for grenades seems to have increased a lot. Or maybe they've just screwed around with the snipers?
6) The voice comms are muffled at best, unintelligable at worst, and others claim it lags them badly when someone uses it.
However, on the plus side, I do seem to have higher FPS and faster play now. At least when it isnt lagging or FlushEntity Packeting on me.
Oh, and they got rid of the damn lame Bunny Hopping!
