Things done:
Format drive
Installed OS
Downloaded steam
Turned off steamcloud sync
Installed TF2
Deleted cfg:s in C:Program/Steam/steamapps/user/team fortress 2/tf/cfg
Deleted remote/remotecache in C:Program/Steamuserdata/(number)/440
Start with -autoconfig

But there is still some weird things in the console:
Can’t use cheat cvar fog_start in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.
Can’t use cheat cvar fog_end in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.
Can’t use cheat cvar fog_startskybox in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.
Can’t use cheat cvar fog_endskybox in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.
Can’t use cheat cvar r_farz in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.

Is this from some old cfg? and where do I delete it?

You get those even with a freshly installed tf2, they won’t do anything, so just ignore them

1. Delete all TF2 and Orange Box .gcf-files located in ../steam/steamapps/
2. Delete the entire Team fortress 2 folder (../steam/steamapps//team fortress 2/)
3. Redownload TF2
4. Put -autoconfig in launch options (and remove any other launch options)
5. Remove -autoconfig after launching the game once

But don’t do that. Everyone gets a bunch of error messages every time they start the game. It’s not harmful or anything like that. And no, it’s not from some old config, everyone gets that.
