Launching your game will take a few seconds longer, in order to load & close the map to pop out the windows. These windows are persistent on screen when you join a server and will need to be manually closed. Other than that, no. [quote=sky_]does this have any negative affects on game performance?[/quote]

In your console type: map cp_cloak;wait 2000;disconnect; This will initiate the process for re-opening the windows. You could technically make this a bind if you so desired.

Edit: I posted this onto Reddit I would strongly advise against adding TF2center to your game, it doesn't work at all. The reason Kuni and I were hesitant to release this to the rest of the general public is because it's nowhere near fully functional. Sure, you can join a game on the TF2center web page, but upon readying up and having the game start, it won't automatically launch the server, and both the join server and join mumble buttons do nothing. The only way you can still play is by knowing how to extract the connect line info from the link yourself via a right-click and "copying link address", then converting that to the proper format and joining mumble on your own. Another reason we were hesitant to release this is you can't play the game while these windows are open. We're looking for a solution, but the only thing this is good for at the current tine is adding up to a pug and crafting/doing nothing while in game. [quote=LinKr_]Thanks Sezco
