Sirgy & Whitefang2360

We're excited to welcome Sirgy & Whitefang2360 who will be returning to staff as fully fledged Sixes Administrators. Congratulations, the training wheels are off!

Thread: MSNSC '26 - Getting started with Team Comtress 2!
core League Director


Getting started with Team Comtress 2!


Team Comtress 2 is a rare glimpse at a potential future for TF2 for those playing Summer Cup, but getting yourself situated on a new client can be difficult. Luckily, this process is actually incredibly easy! Below is an install guide, a brief list of the bigger improvements, an FAQ we'll continue to update, and a server reservation guide!

Installing Team Comtress 2

Getting Team Comtress 2 installed could not be any easier! This mini-guide will cover installing TC2 on Windows, for other operating systems you can check their website.

  1. Head over to the Team Comtress 2 website, and click the Download button front and center. This will download the TC2 launcher which is pretty small. Make sure to put this somewhere you can easily open this later, as this launcher is how you launch TC2 (it doesn't install as a program).
    1. Windows may ask you for permission to run it, or Smart Screen may prompt you to "Run anyway". Your browser (in particular Edge or Chrome) may also warn you about the download. You'll need to Keep the file. This is only because signing a Windows program through Microsoft is not cheap, but as long as you know where you are downloading it from (that being the official site), it's fine to ignore.
  2. Once you have the launcher downloaded, run it, and you're good to start setting up your launch options if you use any. Click the settings button bottom right and there you can configure the installation directory, launch options and what release branch you're on. For cup day, you'll want to stay on the Stable branch, so make sure Pre-release is unticked.
  3. You're done! Now you'll just need to bring your configs over if you wish, otherwise we suggest using the improved in-game settings menu, it covers a hell of a lot and already has modern default settings for things like FOV set!

Improvements in TC2

There are many, many improvements in TC2, so we won't try to cover them all. Instead, here's a brief but slightly outdated list from serveme.tf with some stuff we've thrown in.

  • Networking Upgrades
    • Sub-tick support like seen in CounterStrike 2.
    • Improved lag compensation.
    • Reduced network interpolation delays.
    • Fixed hitbox desync at high speeds.
  • Gameplay Fixes
    • Fixed backstab and melee hit detection.
    • More consistent bullet spread.
    • Improved distance-based damage.
    • Enhanced weapon responsiveness.
  • Performance Improvements
    • Optimized rendering and particle systems.
    • Better performance in large team fights.
    • Reduced overhead from game systems.
    • Smoother framerates overall.
  • Quality of Life
    • New Casual MVP screen.
    • Improved competitive mode for competitive and league matches.
    • Customizable hit markers.
    • Modern default settings (90 FOV).
    • Enhanced visual effects.
    • Match Pausing improvements (please don't pause your match just to see them 😠)
      • Players can now join when a match is paused. 😱
  • Recent additions for Summer Cup
    • Logs.tf native replacement.
    • Enhanced Match Timer natively integrated.
    • Multiple other SourceMod plugins we rely on for league matches have been integrated natively!

Reserving a TC2 server from au.serveme.tf

Reserving a TC2 server couldn't be simpler! Like you would with a normal TF2 server, you would head over to au.serveme.tf and reserve a server, but first you'll need to opt-in to TC2 server access, which can be done here. Once you've successfully opted in, you can now reserve TC2 servers, but do make sure you reserve "ozfortress bookable TC2" servers!

Getting your server set up for your match is also as simple as a regular season! Grab the RCON details, or use the Web RCON, and type one of the following map aliases depending on what round you're in.

rcon process
rcon sunshine
rcon snakewater
rcon product

Once you've set the map, you'll need to execute the server config, depending on if the map is 5CP or KOTH.

rcon ozf-sc-5cp
rcon ozf-sc-koth

And bam, you're done and ready to play your match! If you want to play another map, you can. Just be aware that not all server configs work or are tested on TC2, so best to stick to the Summer Cup specific ones!

TC2 FAQ

Q: Can I copy my custom folder over?

A: Short answer: No. Long answer: Somewhat.

Using a custom HUD with TC2 can and likely will break or hide a lot of things, and may make the main menu unusable.

Custom files that replace other game files should also be avoided.

Custom config files should work, just note that some things may have changed. We recommend only keeping your uber binds, resupply binds, utility sort of stuff. For actual graphics, it is probably best to make use of the heavily expanded settings menu in-game!

Q: What about hitsounds, damage numbers, and general game settings?

A: TC2 comes with a heavily expanded in-game settings menu which covers a lot of settings! Also, it sets a bunch of enhanced defaults for things like FOV too!

You will likely need to turn on Fast Weapon Switch and a few other things, but otherwise the defaults are far better than normal TF2.

Q: Do I need to redownload maps?

A: Thankfully no!

TC2 scans your base TF2 install already, which is how it's download and install size is so tiny! So TC2 will look for your existing maps folders, and make them usable in TC2. This also means that all maps should be 100% compatible with, and work in TC2.

Q: How long will ozfortress TC2 servers remain up after the cup?

A: At this stage, until the season is underway.

We will likely drop the amount of servers after the cup to around four.

Thread: Introducing Warzone: The ozfortress client
catfish Retired League Director & Head of Anti-Cheat

~APRIL FOOLS!~

We are very proud and excited to announce the future of competitive TF2 at ozfortress.

INTRODUCING WARZONE: THE OZFORTRESS CLIENT

In order to combat cheaters and incorrect account usage, ozfortress has decided to introduce a client for all players playing on ozfortress servers. For those who are unaware, a client is a tool that scans your PC and monitors what you are doing in order to detect cheats and other third-party programs. We have decided to adopt the use of a client in order to improve the user experience when playing in the ozfortress league.

FAQ

Why is the client called Warzone?

Many players will recognise the name Warzone as the former name of the current ozfortress website. We decided that since the current website has adopted the domain of ozfortress.com, we would put the title of Warzone to another use and fittingly name the ozfortress client, Warzone.

When do I need to run the ozfortress client?

All players will need to run Warzone whenever they play on an ozfortress server. This is to ensure that ozfortress remains a cheat-free environment and to make sure that all instances of cheating and incorrect account usage are handled by staff.

How do I run the client?

Simply download and install Warzone, and then run warzone.exe which will be found inside the extracted folder. Once the client is showing the ozfortress.com front page, the client is running successfully.

Does Warzone invade my privacy?

Yes. We do not look at any personal information of the user, however. Warzone will only monitor the files that the player uses when in-game.

What operating systems can run Warzone?

Currently there are Warzone builds for Windows, Mac and Linux. Download links for all can be found below.

Will Warzone pick up all third-party programs?

Yes. If you are unsure of the legality of a third-party program, contact an administrator.

Who created Warzone?

Warzone was a collaboration between ozfortress admins Connor and Thermite, ozfortress developer /dev/zero and head of ozfortress Anti-Cheat obla. Huge thanks goes out to Connor who did the bulk of the legwork and sunk countless hours into the creation and perfection of Warzone.

We hope that Warzone improves the ozfortress experience for all users. If any players have any concerns about the security or privacy concerns of Warzone, do not hesitate to contact an administrator.

Autumn '26...7!!!!!

It never gets old right? Just like the timeless humour of today's youth that will never becoming annoying or cringe, Highlander continues on. Welcome to the 12th ozfortress Highlander Season. Where does the time go? Probably into scrims, officials, demo reviews and the ozfortress Discord's #general-chat.

Signups

You can sign up for Highlander Autumn '26 from today (Saturday the 14th of February) up until Friday the 27th of February at 11:59pm AEDT. With this in mind, we'll aim to have Seedings out by Sunday the 1st or Monday the 2nd of March at the latest with the Season starting on Wednesday the 4th of March.

Map Pool

For Autumn '26 our Highlander Map Pool will not be changing at all. Meaning, all the maps played in Spring '25 will be played again this season. Due to the recent polling on the most disliked stopwatch maps played within our league being so contentious, particularly between Upward and Eruption with both maps receiving 33.33% and 35.29% of votes respectfully it is apparent that both maps aren't to favorable within competition. However, with the data being so close picking one map to remove becomes challenging. As well as this, another question we have had to pose ourselves is "what other maps could we add in?" We seem to be limited on options that both are in demand and promote healthy competition.

Thus, we have decided for the time being we will be keeping both Upward and Eruption for the time being with both maps only being played once this season. Throughout the season our staff intend to conduct map tests when possible for newer candidates to include in future map pools when possible. If you have any suggestions for maps to test and potentially include in future season's please let us know and we'll be sure to look into them!


Staff Changes

Sperkle Stepping Down

After being Head Highlander Admin for the past 2 years, I have decided that the time has come for me to step down from my position. Without going into to much of the nitty gritty, I simply think that it is time for me to take my leave as I no longer have the drive needed to fill this position. However, I feel comfortable stepping away knowing there is a strong staff team that will continue to provide ozfortress with excellent and exciting Highlander leagues. Pulse, woozy and indy and her jones are dedicated individuals who I want thank for staying on and assisting the new Head Admin, and I know they will continue doing great work! I'll still be around in some capacity this season to assist with the transition so don't be surprised if you see me!

Sylvie Stepping Up

Starting from Autumn '26, Sylvie will be stepping into the position of Head Highlander Administrator. Sylvie has proved to be an invaluable member of staff over the past few months and has graduated from her trial Admin position with flying colours. When it came to a replacement it just had to be her. Sylvie has the passion and commitment needed to thrive in such a role and I, core, and the rest of our staff team have no doubt she will excel as the new Head Admin of Highlander for ozfortress. I ask that you please welcome her into the position as we have and offer her the thanks, gratitude and respect she deserves.

New Staff Wanted!

With the shuffling of positions, this has opened up some room for new staff members to join the ozfortress Highlander team! We are looking for people excited about Highlander, looking to help and put in the time to help others when needed. An admin position is a selfless one, you need to be able to put others before yourself (in the ozfortress space) while remaining level headed, and deal with match disputes that often leave you unpopular with some teams or individuals. If you're hearing this and not immediately heading for the hills, we want you! You can submit a staff application via the link below.
