Im sick of seeing thread whining about people not getting drops day in day out. And guess what there's a very simple solution to fix the problem Witch works at least 90% of the time. The reason your only getting 0-3 items a week is because your Item schema update is queued.

Step 1 - Load up TF2 and open the console. If you see the line

"Fetched ##### bytes items schema version ###### via HTTP, Update is queued"

You in luck, This your problem. If not then I cant help you.

Step 2 - Go here[git.optf2.com] This site is auto updated with the latest item schema for TF2 every time there's an update.

Step 3 - Select the latest version at the top and scroll down the page until you see 2 URL's one red and one green. Copy the geen one into your address bar.

Step 4 - Hit enter [If this doesn't work remove the extra backslashes and try again] Now to select all the information in the item schema simply press Ctrl + a the paste it into a notepad doc.

Step 5- Locate your tf folder create a folder called scripts [You may already have one] Then a folder called "items" inside that.

Step 6 - Save the notpad doc into the items folder.

IMPORTANT

You must name the notepad doc items_game.txt Copy exactly as seen!

IMPORTANT

Step 7 - Your done! congrats. Load TF2 up again and look for the line.

"Current item schema is up-to-date with version ########"

If not or you see the same line as before your doing it wrong!
