Thread: Annoying popups blocking effective use of radar

In the top left corner of the screen, right above where the in-game radar is, there are frequently popups for "visit Texas Team Players" and various other messages.

Now the problem with these messages is that they frequently popup during gameplay and they block the radar like a motherfucker. Its extremely frustrating to be spending most of your focus interpreting where the dots are going/headed/located, only to have some fucking message pop up and completely screw you over as far as effective radar use goes for a good 5-10 seconds, just enough time to get fucked over.

Other than that, the long server songs, and the occasional lag issues: the server is near-perfection in my opinion.

Here's an example(lol sorry senses):

haha u shanked the drunk guy!

I've noticed this too but I'm not sure there is anything that can feasibly be done about it.

It is possible to remove them from the top left corner, but thing is, right now that is the only place they are, so otherwise they should be in the chat box, which I personally would prefer, and as for moving radar, I would much prefer the text be in chat box then moving my radar =/ I too cant stand this, though the messages hardly come up they are incredibly distracting when they do and you are trying to watch radar....

I never really find it distracting either, if it comes up at an ill time, I'll often quickly shift my aim to another direction, see what I need to on the radar, then turn back. I'll do that once or twice for the duration of the message if its needed.

It looks like this:

Center radar is the way to go, its just hard to find a HUD pack off of FPS banana that doesnt have stupid neon crazy font.
