Racist and bigoted server

Don’t be fooled gabber is not who he makes himself out to be as, he thinks he is this guy who can somehow revive pre MYM TF2, when in reality he is a delusional nutcase who harasses anyone who disagrees with him, do not join unless you are a racist bigoted edgelord

It doesn’t matter, I just wanted to experience what TF2 was like before Jungle Inferno. The Sandman combo was truly busted.

Ah yes IIRC chat is not on steam mobile. They made it like a separate app or something.

If on desktop its usually bottom/ bottom right of friend list
Sixteen60 4 Jan @ 7:25pm 
Plus I don’t have either the dock nor a Bluetooth K/M so I’d be stuck with a gamepad. I’d just say it ain’t worth the risk as much as SolarLight makes using a controller in TF2 look easy.
Sixteen60 4 Jan @ 7:08pm 
I don’t have TF2 installed on my Steam Deck. And I would need to get all the mods I normally use on Steam Deck (Comfig, HUD, Announcer, ect).
Gabber 4 Jan @ 7:05pm 
just join now
eon (join castaway.tf) 4 Jan @ 6:39pm 
Well then I think a good solution would be to use desktop instead?

Another method is to look at the "Event Schedule" at the bottom of the description and join the server IPs listed above at those times, with the console command "connect 194.195.210.23" or whichever IP you choose. However these times are not set in stone and can change, the group chat is the fastest way of being notified of those changes.
Sixteen60 4 Jan @ 6:32pm 
Well I’m not seeing the button you’re talking about. Probably doesn’t appear on mobile.
eon (join castaway.tf) 4 Jan @ 6:27pm 
You'd do well if you read the group description.

"Join the group chat for announcements!"
It's that button to the right in the overview tab, "Enter chat room"
Sixteen60 4 Jan @ 6:24pm 
Aren’t events usually announced? I’m not seeing any this month in the events tab.
GGgaming 4 Jan @ 4:59pm 
also space whos attacking you and why
GGgaming 4 Jan @ 11:46am 
nah it was the guy who made the ring thing
Society Gaming 4 Jan @ 11:23am 
wait what tfconnect shilled this group?
Space 4 Jan @ 6:15am 
im being attacked by members of your community
Alvy 4 Jan @ 5:03am 
Damn, more than 100 new members in just 4 days. The TFConnect ring guy shilling us was perfectly timed with Gabber's last video.
Jacob the dude 3 Jan @ 10:54pm 
I love all you guys that made this server possible. Thank you.
Crusadey John 3 Jan @ 8:02pm 
Castaway.tf is organized strictly within the Steam group and has no other third party platforms apart from official YouTube clip channel. There is an apparent lack of need o any other platform at the moment, and there will never be a discord server. I advise you to make your way into Steam group chat to stay in touch with session schedules as well as what other members of our wonderful community have to say.
unconnected 3 Jan @ 6:01pm 
disregard the last part of my last comment i just read the description more LOL
unconnected 3 Jan @ 6:00pm 
just saw this server mentioned in a youtube video, this is awesome; i wanted to host my own community server with a premise similar to this

is there a forum or discord i can join (a forum would be awesome lmao)
Asmo 3 Jan @ 2:06pm 
9000 soon
random 3 Jan @ 1:45pm 
900 members!

You can also join the servers via the in-game server browser. You can type "castaway" with the tags set "to include" to filter right away to Castaway servers.
Asmo 2 Jan @ 4:53pm 
You can join our servers using the in-game server browser or alternatively you can visit https://castaway.tf and click the hyperlinks located on the left-hand side which will automatically connect you to their corresponding server. All server IP addresses are listed on the group landing page and our website. I also highly recommend joining the steam group chat so you receive notifications when we are playing.
MRcedaguy 2 Jan @ 4:08pm 
how do i join your server ingame?
eon (join castaway.tf) 1 Jan @ 8:27pm 
If you look at previous pages on this comment section, you will find Gabber's report on session duration.
Sixteen60 1 Jan @ 1:07pm 
Now, how long does an event usually last?
Asomn 1 Jan @ 11:51am 
Yeah, but nobody else is going to join if there isn't a session probably.
Sixteen60 1 Jan @ 11:48am 
But you can still join even when an event isn’t in place, right?
eon (join castaway.tf) 1 Jan @ 11:16am 
Event Schedule
We have daily events in both NA and EU servers. The times are as follows, however the specific server may change and the time might be slightly different each day. As of writing this, the community currently favors playing on the weapon revert servers.

EU
Monday-Friday - 7 PM GMT / 9 PM GMT+2
Saturday-Sunday - 4 PM GMT / 6 PM GMT+2

NA
Monday-Sunday - 5 PM PST / 7 PM CST / 8 PM EST

Asia
Monday-Sunday - 7 PM UTC+8

These events are announced in the group chat when they start.
Sixteen60 1 Jan @ 10:28am 
So what’s with most of the servers besides Paris being empty? Are they only open at certain times or something?
random 31 Dec, 2024 @ 10:22am 
If you can't connect to anything, that's probably an ISP issue. If you're from Russia we have received similar reports about it in the past. Otherwise, there's not a lot I can do without more information

Asia server report:

Lasted for 1 hour, map change Asians didn't like killed it. However Asians are celebrating New Years. This might explain the short play sessions.

Fortunately more new players have joined the server these past few days, both from what I've
personally seen and from BattleMetrics.

Asia still needs regular seeders from other regions so that more Asian players find about the server and become regulars who will seed the server.

Player retention, more Asian seeders and more new players are the main goals for Asia right now.

As for the Asian's monotonous map tastes, it will take months. Consistent play sessions while gradually playing on less played maps over time will help. Try not to force maps they don't like or full lobbies are less likely. A/D maps like Gorge seem to be safe options.

Side note, the Asian players are mostly from Southeast Asia (based from their pings), not East Asia as some players here would think.
douchebag the copycunt 31 Dec, 2024 @ 6:14am 
None of the servers are responding when I try to connect to them. What should I do?
Alvy 31 Dec, 2024 @ 3:43am 
>I hope this doesn't die like cre*tors.tf

we have micro-civil wars every hour and still going strong. We are not dying any time soon.
Join Castaways.tf SG Server! 30 Dec, 2024 @ 8:45pm 
Well well. I never thought I'd see a vanilla tf2 server here in Asia.

I wish you the best in your endeavor. I hope this doesn't die like cre*tors.tf

You have my support. I will make sure to spread it to my friend list.

The moment I saw TC_Hydro in that video I was hooked.

And agree 100% Asia players have ♥♥♥♥ map taste. They be playing the same c*sual maps over and over again.
