Get your pre-order poker visor here!

Make sure you're logged in to your TTG account when you do so.

you still get the visor for TF2, as well as the TF2 unlockables from copies bought at the TTG site since it uses Steamworks

It just doesnt show up as a "Steam" game since you didn't buy it from Steam, but you can easily add it by adding a non steam game

Cool, so there are basically steam achievements on the telltale version, and that is how it works then right, I dont need to have steam up as it was stated yesterday i believe?

No the achievements are handled through Steamworks, so you need to have Steam running.

It gets a little tricky when we start getting into this territory. If you unlock a TF2 item offline, it will trigger the unlock achievement the next time you run the game, with steam running, on that machine. For the moment, it looks like any other achievement you unlock while offline will get lost in the ether. There is a small chance that will change between now and when this releases, but this is the behavior I would expect.

So either
A.I will not get the achievement until i get the game loaded up on steam again
B.I will have to try to earn the achievement again(Wait can the special rounds be done again and again like once per match)

General achievements you earn in offline play when playing with a Telltale copy may not sync up. They may be lost in the void. (That is the likely scenario, but we may be able to catch that.)

However, the achievements tied to the TF2 items (and the items themselves) are kept from falling into space and will sync up whenever you go back online.

Soup · 11/04/2010, 03:12 pm

so to be safe... have steam running in the background while playing?

*HoboStew* · 11/04/2010, 03:19 pm

Yes, thats the safest way to ensure your achievements get achieved.

Do the new TF2 weapons have unique attributes, or are they reskins of the default weapons?
