Earlier today Valve made a new depot for TF2 called "x64_linux_test". Maybe this mean well get a native 64 bit client ( and hopefully DXVK instead of ToGL please Valve) or this is just server stuff

this is looking very cool since they are adding Vulkan, this post pretty much covers this https://lemmy.world/comment/6971961

I am so hype for this actually. Never thought about it but no other source 1 game supports 64 bit except for CSGO.. so my theory is that this is the first step towards getting the game ported to source 2 someday!

Apparently all source 1 games are 32 bit. Except for CSGO..

People still play this game? Last time I checked it out (over 5 years ago) it was full of bots. It can’t be any better now.

Bots are only really a problem on Valve servers. There are many active community servers out there that manage to detect and ban them.

Wait, I thought the TF2 team was just one guy still working on it because he likes to.

Ok that's great but they need to fix the bots.
