TF2 is being evil :<

[Supergamer087]

Scenario:

Me: " I'm going to play TF2 cuz I wanna be a baws in the hat division :lol:"
Me: "*starts TF2*
TF2: "gray loading screen*

[ 5 SECONDS LATER. . . ]

TF2: "TROLOLOLOLOL *closes*"
ME: "D: WHY TF2?! WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!"


[Insert the smart person's name here]: I'm going to tell you how to fix it
Me: ":lol:"

[Insert the smart person's name here]: [Insert solution here]



I need a smart person to "insert solution here" ......please, Gamer only want's to scout it up in this house :<

Uh, that's still not a very specific story.

Any error messages?

 

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

put it in the toaster.

 

[Magus]

I will call Gaben for you and tell him to fix it. I have his #on speed dial

 

[Puke-N-Snot]

Any error messages?

Can't argue with the above. Based on what you have told us the list of issues is long.

Are you getting a "hl2.exe has stopped working" message?

Does the PC blue screen & have to be re-booted?
Does it just close TF2 & goes back to your desktop.
Does your event view give you any warring.

I keep getting a "hl2.exe has stopped working." :/ The game gets to the start, I make it into a server and then the moment I try to join a team it crashes.

Goz there is never a time where something is specific enough for you -_-

I feel you pain. I've had the hl2 error on & off, it only happens on servers with the MOTD for me at least some times it happens a few times a day, then nothing for a month

Some folks have suggested it's Flash player, Update your adobe flash. And claim to have had luck with a complete reinstall of flash player. Might work for you (or not)

 

[Supergamer087]

literally all that happens is that it goes to the gray loading screen then closes. Nothing pops up or anything

 

[Shiznoe]

It could be because of the new update... Valve messed up everything!

probably. I looked it up and people also said it was the update, well I guess I'll just be playing some other games until it either manages to fix on it's own, I get a solution, or they have a new update

 

[Supergamer087]

...update did nothing....NOTHINGGG

 

[Puke-N-Snot]

Well we got to start some where so ..
Find event viewer & look for any error or warning messages.
Best thing to do would be to try and start up TF2, note the time. And then look for a error or message in event viewer that matches that time.

Also could try the following :

Turn off cloud sync in Steam:settings
Delete all .cfg's in my tf folder
Restart Steam
Turn cloud sync back on
Restart Steam and start Tf2
Validate & defrag files for TF2 on Steam

that used to happen to me around december, it was fixed in a patch, it was something to do with dxlevel 8

 

[Qwence]

That happened to me once. Then I installed Chris's TF2 Config, and it made it all better. No idea how.

Tried all of this, nothing showed up in event viewer and I tried all of this but it's still being a big butt.....sorry for the language lol

Ok, have you deleted your team fortress 2 folder (yes the whole thing) ?, Don't worry steam will rebuild every thing back to stock. If Yes to this then I'd suggest "uninstalling" TF2 & reinstalling or contacting steam
