• Team Fortress 2 crashes after 'Preparing to launch Team Fortress 2'
    18 replies, posted
So when I launch Team Fortress 2, I get the 'Preparing to launch TF2', but then it just disappears and nothing happens. I've tried googling and tried all these things. Reinstall, Verify game cache, update drivers, windows update, defragment, setting launch options as such things as -autoconfig, -windowed. This has been like this for a few weeks. Anyone got a solution?
Dang, no one?
Deleting ClientRegistry.blob too? In Steam folder?
[QUOTE=tratzzz;30267053]Deleting ClientRegistry.blob too? In Steam folder?[/QUOTE] That's if you can't log in. Do you meet the requirements? run dxdiag and check if you can run it.

force dx8 or 9 using -dx(numberhere) in the launch parameters.
Tried both, didn't work. I also tried deleting my Team Fortress 2 folder again. Did not work.
Deleting the games will not do shit. Stop doing it.

run a dxdiag and post the results in a text file.
Allright. I also noticed one thing. When I verify integrity of game cache, it always wants to validate one file. I guess it always fails and won't get the file.
That might be a problem also. Manually delete the game folder in steamapps and restart steam and redownload and see if it will grab it this time.
Yeah that's what I did a few posts back. So I saved all information with the DxDiag. You want me to post all of it? Or just upload somewhere.
Try rolling back your video drivers. [editline]6th June 2011[/editline] or update to 275 whichever
How? :kiddo:
I think your on 275 as the WHQL is signed on the 25th. Download the first WHQL driver in the archive section on the download drivers section on the nvidia site then run the installer then choose clean install. let it do its thing and it will have you on the old ones.
I can't find it :saddowns:

Allright. The driver is almost done. [editline]6th June 2011[/editline] I launched the dxwebsetup.exe and I get this message [quote]An internal system error has occurred. Please refer to DXerror.log and DirectX.Log in your windows folder to determine a problem[/quote] Didn't find DXerror.log, but i found DirectX.log but it didn't have any logs for 6th June [editline]6th June 2011[/editline] Brb shower [editline]6th June 2011[/editline] Back. I had to leave for a hour. So it still wont work :|
