Top Reply with quote

So recently I have not been able to run TF2, it keeps validating steam files and then stops at 100% and does nothing. I close it and launch TF2 again and the same thing happens. This problem has been happening on and off for a while. The only solution I have found is uninstall steam and TF2 all together and reinstall. Quite frankly, I would like to avoid that. Any ideas?

I had the same issue in the past and deleting/renaming the blob worked.

Hope that helps Wink

I had the same problem when I first started playing tf2. The fix docs gave you is what helped me a bit, but then it would just continue. My computer eventually blue screened sometime in July, and I had to reinstall tf2 once it was fixed. Since then, I have not had any of those issues.

So, if the problem is not fixed with what docs said, you'll probably just have to reinstall the game.

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
