TF2 was working fine for me earlier today, having just downloaded an update.

After becoming disconnected from the eGO server I was playing on because my internet died, I noticed Steam said it needed to restart. I quit TF2 and told Steam to restart. It downloaded an update and restarted itself. I then restarted my computer to free up memory, as Steam always leaves memory used when I quit it.

Upon restarting my computer and opening Steam, it re-downloaded the update (unless another update came out in the past few hours) when I tried to launch TF2. It successfully launched TF2, and I then tried to connect to an eGO server. TF2 connected, but as soon as I reached the class selection screen it crashed. I tried a different server (still eGO), and it got a little farther, but as soon as I tried to move in game, it crashed again.

I'm on a MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz, 4GB ram with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 256MB dedicated video RAM. Are my relatively low system specs causing the crash?

Edit: Just tried again (after restarting the computer). The game crashed as it was trying to load the choose class screen. The Mac OS X crash report indicates that the program tried to access off the end of an array. I assume this is a bug that should be reported to Valve? Anyone got a link to where I could do this?

New info:

on my other computer (iMac), I was forced to download this update, which as far as I can tell must have been released sometime today. It has the same behavior, crashing after the same amount of time.

Does anyone know how I can get the previous version back so I can play until they fix this problem?
 
Update: I have gone to the Steam support page and tried all troubleshooting steps that apply to the Mac.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Help please! I would like to be able to play TF2 again!
 
Hi there,

Try the following steps and let's see if it works:

1) Start up Steam
2) Click on "Library"
3) Right Click "Team Fortress 2"
4) Click on "Properties"
5) Click the "Local Files" tab
6) Click on "Verify Integrity of game cache"

This will go over the TF2 files and verify that everything should be there and not corrupted.
 
I had tried that before (Steam support site recommended it), but it said the files validated correctly. Thanks anyway!

Also, steam has now released an update that fixes this problem. Yay! I can play TF2 again!
