I have the unlock equipped in the menu however it doesn't spawn with me. Its not just the scout unlocks, its pyro as well. I've tried changing classes & changing back. Tried changing to the base weapon for the slot, spawning as different class, selecting wep & then spawning as class I want. Restarting TF2 & restarting steam don't work. It may seem strange but depending on which server I'm on determines which unlocks I can use ex: cashworks= new bat, but no new shotgun or flaregun; 2fort= no unlocks @ all;warpath= new shotgun, but no new bat or backburner.

Anyone have any suggestions other than reinstalling steam/tf2?
 
By any chances you did the exploit that removes them for one month? If not, I have no idea. Sometimes my pyro weapons wont just change but when I change class then come back it's fine...

EDIT:
Re-read the end of your post and I saw that you could use some of them...nevermind then my bad. It's strange though
 
Theres an exploit preventing you from using them for a month?!
 
Just a guess.... delete your clientregistry.blob .... that file is responsible for most steam errors. If that doesn't work, you could delete your teamfortress2 folder. You won't have to redownload much, but you'll lose your settings. and condumps + screenshots if you don't copy them out first.
 
No, I didn't use any exploit to get the unlocks, I got most of them on black mesa. deleting the .blob didn't work sadly, Ill try deleting the TF2 folder after tonight event
 
I just recently unlock the force-a-nature and the same thing is happening to me. I equip it, wait to respawn and nothing has changed. I restarted tf 2 and few times and still nothing has changed. Its starting to bother me : \

yea, its bothering me too, kinda hard to get the 3rd unlock when I cant use my force-a-nature or bat, stuck @20 :mad:
 
That was happening to me last night. I just closed steam and reopened it. Fixed itself.
 
Same thing here. Okay, I farmed them, but I farmed them fair and square on the Fun Server's Acheivement box and had to listen to that stupid background music (I never really was on your side remix) for 3 hours. None of this SAM or !givemeall crap. I could use all of them just fine while I was there but immediately after I jumped into Valvemaps playing steel and while they were all selected in my loadout I had all the basic weaponry equipped.
 
Hm something did chagne with the load out box, yes? For instance I can no longer switch weapons with out respawning first, I cant change them in spawn anymore, thats the same for everyone right?

Yes, it was to stop some kind of exploit if I remember correctly. If you switch them in spawn, just hit up a supply cabinet quick and it'll change it for you without having to respawn/switch classes and back.
 
well on mesa last time i played there i had FAN pistol and sand equipped but when i moved to a random server i changed to original loadout then shortly afterwards went to dustbowl, tried to changes weapons but nothing. But when i went to mesa it still says i have original loadout equipped BUT i am using FAN and sand. So yeah i think something in the works has screwed up.
 
yeah, happening to me as well. All of my unlocks, and achievements have been wiped out. Although I still have my Sandvich equipped on the heavy...

Never used a 3rd party program :|
 
If I were to guess, I'd say that Valve's "Exploiters Shall Be Punished" is coming back to bite the hand that coded it with minimal testing.

Of course, I'm a programmer and tend to be pessimistic about code.

If nothing else, write a Steam support request and let 'em know the error. If this is as widespread as it seems, Valve will have a patch soon. Perhaps they'll just remove the "no guns for a month."

It's the erratic behavior that triggers my pessimism, by the by.
 
I did some testing [using random pub servers] & it appears that the unlocks I am able to use are the unlocks I have equipped when I connect to the server for the 1st time. from then on any reconnects [even after restart] will only allow me to use those unlocks I originally connected with. I deleted the local content & then erased the remaining folders for TF2 & as soon as its done downloading/updating I'll let yall know if it solved the problem.
