So this only happens with my new PC and only with TF2 and I have no clue why. Essentially the parts of the map, loading screen, and even the menus just flash and clip into each other rapidly and it makes it awful to play. It seems to be better or worse depending on the map but it’s still awful. Idk if it’s a hardware or software thing but I’ve already redownloaded the game and verified the game files.

Whenever I attempt to speak in game, it wont even start to transmit audio. No speech bubble pops up and testing the microphone immediately stops. This is the console error that occurs.

I run mastercomfig

I'm wondering if those Fido2 fingerprint readers on Amazon work as a good password protector? I've been getting compromised by my ex for over 3 or 3 and a half months now and it's getting old.

If I get the item and that would make me the only person able to sign into accounts assuming I didn't lose the fido2 encryption key?? Or still room for error and more bullshit lol?

Any and all advice is much appreciated! Yubico makes the type of security key I'm referring too.

We used to find casual matches just fine but now it never works unless we queue solo. It just says 'queueing for casual' for eternity. It doesn't work no matter who the party leader is. I thought would be a problem for everyone but I cant see any recent posts about this issue.

I was trying to set up a dedicated tf2 server but every time that I launch steamcmd.exe it downloads a bit of stuff and then crashes.

I am using a windows 11 laptop

Hello, I haven't been able to get into casual since they removed the summer update last Monday (or whenever exactly that was, I think it was Monday). I go into casual and click "Start search" with the same list of servers I always use, many of them popular, and the game just sits there without joining.

It will sit for hours. The only option I have is to join community, which I am grateful for, but they don't have the maps I want in community. So I'll be in community for hours with the "queued for casual" thing spinning at the top like it does something.

This is every single day. I've tried different times of the day and it's the same thing. I restarted my computer and verified the steam files, nothing changes this situation. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to resolve it?

you can already tell what my problem is on tf2, how this happened was that i got comfig settings to help with fps, though in the process the flashlight on slender fortress doesnt work, it doesnt light when i need to see in darkness or on walls, please i need help to fix this, and yes there was a setting on comfig to help but it didnt work. PLS I NEED HELP!

hey!

i'm new on reddit but this i think my problem could be solved here!

i'm also a technical newbie and have no idea what i'm doing more or less what i can figure out from the interner.

i have an omen 16 gaming laptop that's been running seamlessly for the past year and i've been gifted a new MSI G2712F monitor so i can play games like valorant on a bigger screen. seemed to work just fine for the first few days and then bam. everything's extremely laggy, i'm having to wrestle with the mouse just to click on things and everything i DO manage to click on takes years to open and yet the issue only seems to be on the external monitor.

played a game and it seemed fine until my fps dropped from 250 to 3fps and then 1

i'm using the hdmi that's been given with the monitor so it's probably not the issue? i've also tried with another hdmi cable and same issue so it doesn't seem to be any faulty wires.

i've already updated my geforce drivers, made sure the refresh rates are the same and whatnot. i've disabled my hardware acceleration and done pretty much everything everyone's recommended me to do.

i'm at a loss and no one else seems to be facing the same exact issue? sometimes when i open up my laptop/monitor, the monitor will be fine for a bit minus random black screens every minute or so. i'm really not sure what's going on!

I'm trying to load my mods into casual using VScript, but some mods that are supposed to be casual compatable make TF2 look like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2bGApmqM4w

Been playing TF2 for a couple days now, and I realized that most of the audio is fine, save for the crit sfx and the notes that play whenever you hover over a class. (Those and my custom kill sound but that's probably just becaude I jeed to boost it's audio.) Does anyone have an idea to fix this?

HELP! whenever i do anything in game that has loud sounds to them- my games audio crackles and sounds terrible, like when it makes the dom sound or when enemies yell after getting backstabbed. I cant seem to find the issue! if anyone can help please let me know.

I have a Dell laptop Intel core i7 8750H and a 1050 ti but I can't even run THE FUCKING TUTORIAL!!! I can't change the graphics settings and when the tutorial finally starts the game keeps lagging very hard I can't even move the mouse properly

I tried restarting steam, restarting the laptop, modifying the card settings but nothing worked

Is this the right place to possibly get advice on what could be wrong with my t.v.?

EDIT: Welp, after 2 days of searching and minutes after posting this, I found the issue. The new 64-bit update caused an issue where the game tries to boot at a refresh rate of 48hz, which my monitor doesn't support. Adding -freq 165 to my games launch options has fixed it!

Launching TF2 in fullscreen causes my right monitor to be disabled and also often crashing the game in the process. I've tried 3 different distros (Fedora, EndevourOS, and now Linux Mint) and 3 DE's (KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon), they all exhibit this behavior.

I've tried using both the 535 and 545 drivers, and turning on Force Full Composition Pipeline in my NVIDIA settings.

I can play in borderless windowed but then the panel/taskbar is always on top of the game...

I'm running an NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB model from MSI and a i7 10700. Left monitor is a LG 24GN50W 1080p 144hz, and right is HP X27q 1440p 165hz

I just installed the game yesterday after almost a year of not playing and I was having a blast. I managed to play it for two sessions after which the game just stopped launching. Every time I try launching it flashes my screen black 2 times and closes out completely without even showing the valve logo.

I've done a fresh install of the game by removing my whole tf2 folder from the steamapps common folder and reinstalling the game through Steam, I've reinstalled Steam altogether, I've tried verifying the integrity of the game files, I've restarted my computer, I've restarted Steam and I have restarted my configs. I've tried basically everything I've found to work for other people on the internet, but I'm just done.

Also, I am able to start up tf.exe (which is not the file Steam uses to start up the game) from the game's files, but it won't let me play on any servers because I'm in insecure mode. Trying to start up tf_win64.exe doesn't work and lends the exact same result as with trying to start the game through Steam.

Sorry for the overly long post, just please help me.

EDIT: I found a solution from this video: https://youtu.be/_L0LLNZwWK4

For me it was changing the graphics settings to power saving mode and now the game can finally start up and I can play on servers normally. I don't know if this will degrade performance but I think this might be the only way at least for now.

I've seen someone else post this problem, but I dont understand computer lingo, explain it to me like I'm 5. 1st time on this steam accpunt(I lost my old one), opened the game, heard the valve sound, and the game flickers, puts my cursor in center screen and the game minimizes. Thankyou in advance

my game plays the valve sound and just closes down. please help.

Im not the best with tech so idk what to do and there isnt any sort of videos on this matter so im stuck. TF2 just wont launch and i put a lot of money into that game, i just want it to work again please someone help

Hey

i have tried everything for a month and i cant get me game to work, i did everythihng the pinned post said and it didnt work. is there any fix
my game plays the valve sound and just closes down. please help

Hi, I'm trying to play some old demos, and getting these errors. The demo loads a bit, then takes me back to the main menu. There isn't an error popup or any error code in the console (full console output below). I'm launching the demo from demoui, and it's located in tf\demos. I tried going into a barnblitz match hoping that that would download any missing particles on that specific map, but the issue presists. Full console output below.

​

I tried some other demos. My most recent demo on a jump map loads and plays just fine. A demo from a couple weeks ago, I tried two, one on venice and the map seems to be buggy and missing some things, and one on sulfur which doesn't play at all, like this old one on barnblitz.

​

Any help or ideas appreciated :) I just wanna open some old clips

I mean the title says it all. I went to launch the game for the first time on this pc and it just instantly crashes. no screen pops up indicating it's running just says it is then instantly crashes. when I tried running it with Proton it worked until I tried to join a game then it instantly crashes.

​

Even with no filters. What is the problem?

downloaded a new hud (sayo2) and it has changed my hit and killsounds. The hud has a sound folder with hitsound.wav and killsound.wav which I have tried changing and deleting to no avail. Anyone know how to fix.

Already made one years ago
128x128 PNG file named "paper_overlay.png"
located in tf/custom/userstuff/scripts/items/custom_texture_blend_layers

Now what I want to know is how do I make another one?
I tried adding a new PNG (256x256 this time) to the folder and named it "paper_overlay1.png"
but when I selected it for another objector, it kept getting switched to the image I have on the first one.

So what do I do?
do I rename the PNG file? change it's dimentions? do I need to create a new pathway? or is it not possible?

Hi, I have just recently downloaded the b4nny config and am using it along with zeesHUD. I wanted to know if it was possible to get the same blocky graphics like b4nny (and many more) by using in-game settings and launch options? I don't have an Nvidia GPU. I play on my laptop and want the game to run better by having to load less complicated images. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Recently I decide to return to playing tf2 again but sadly some reason the game keeps getting laggy and disconnecting me or freezing a lot every match this getting unplayable and I just want to play team fortress 2 /and yes I change the network settings on the console commands it did nothing at all/ (Also my fps is fine its some reason the ping that's the problem)

Though I'm new to setting up servers, I've been trying to get my own tf2 server up and running. A sort of "2fort 24/7" server that cycles between different custom versions of 2fort.

In every single tutorial for custom map cycles I've seen so far, all of them basically say "it's as easy as adding your map names in tf/cfg/mapcycle.txt." However, if I for instance add only payload maps in mapcycle.txt to test if it works, it will always use the default map cycle starting with ctf_2fort no matter what. And yes, I've restarted the server after adding mapcycle.txt, changing the maps within, it doesn't work, and the amount of times I've checked for a typo in the file name is too high to count.

Apart from that, I did add a "server.cfg" file, mainly to change the server name to see if my server hosting service is actually reading the files I'm adding, and it turns out it is actually able to change my server's name, and I would assume everything else in server.cfg along with it.

So I know, or at least think, that it's not the server hosting service that's simply refusing to read mapcycle.txt., but other than that I'm simply stumped at how everyone online describes this as the most nothing, piece of cake, easiest thing to change in your server, but it just will not cooperate with me. If anyone has any tips, or if there's something plainly obvious that I missed somehow, I would love to hear it. Thanks!
