Season: STV Review

Whenever the next round is starting, this is not the time to review what went wrong. People will just get mad and this will break comms. You’re not gonna have the amount of time you need to adjust for things you didn’t already account for before the match started, and you risk throwing off one of your own players game in the process. The critical time for review comes during... Replay-Review!Your server should have an STV client enabled for all of your scrims. Most people know how to work this, but if you don’t, go here . Once you pull the .dem file off the server, anyone can open the file with a TF2 client to review the match from any perspective they want. On the TF2 menu screen, hit SHIFT-F2 to open up [linktocome]this dialog box[linktocome]. Click load to pick a .dem file. The files usually take a long time to load, and skipping through them is tough. The slider let’s you slow down the game as much as you want, and speed up to 6 times the normal game speed. When doing review, I like to watch them at 60-70% speed. We usually use someone’s twitch account to watch all together, or you could just have everyone sync on a tick number (bottom left in the film dialog box) and go from there. Watching your games back at slower speeds really shows you where things went poorly, and why things worked.
