For those unaware, the linux version of TF2 is still 32bit, and runs on ToGL - a DirectX to OpenGL translation layer.

A few days ago, Valve published a TF2 private branch called "x64_linux_test": https://steamdb.info/changelist/21975149/

Then a few hours ago, Valve update TF2's "App Config" to include references to x64 Vulkan TF2: https://steamdb.info/changelist/22010846/

Looks like it's coming soon, in theory should bring some nice performance improvements. But "soon" in Valve Time is... who knows

Not currently playing tf2, but I saw people on reddit complaining about the item server being down for extended periods of time, I just want to see the extent of the issue.

they've added medals for asia fortress for last year and they've added the medals for the brisbane summer brawl (australian lan tournament)

A lot happened for TF2 in 2023, with more content than the "usual". This is also my second year playing TF2. I want to see how everyone felt about TF2 in 2023 in general.
