Everyone can now opt into the TF2 Steam Pipe Beta. It will convert TF2 automatically into the new file system. The game and maps load blazingly fast now!
However, I can’t connect to non-beta servers anymore with it. And right now there are only five servers with it available. Not sure if I will opt out again or just wait (gasp, no competitive TF2 until then).
Right click on Team Fortress 2 in the list, Properties, Beta tab, select “steampipe -“.
um…. think we should probably back up our configs? because some command line just opened and it was deleting everything lol
edit: ok didn’t really delete much, command line just closed and then steam froze

Yeah, that’s normal, just wait for it to finish.
I’m not sure if it deleted anything, maybe a few gcfs, but not all. The custom stuff was moved to [login]/team fortress 2/tf/download AND common/team fortress 2/tf/download, my custom configs were copied, but not the class configs. Not sure if they want you to clean up the mess yourself or they will do it when the update will be released.
[edit] Also, new maps: cloak, cp_cloak, devtest (a raw version of 2fort, TFC layout?) and background01 (the old main menu, dustbowl 3-2)

Backup configs, huds, custom maps, pretty much all custom files before you opt in the beta. You won’t be able to join any servers that are not in the beta.
P-REC appears to be broken.
The new folder location is steamapps/common/
In the tf folder there is now a folder called custom. All files inserted there will overwrite default ones (so this is where you will place huds, configs etc…), read the readme file.
It is scheduled for April 30th to go live. At least that’s what I found

All those maps are from 2007 pre cp_badlands :)

Does anyone know if this allows us to install tf2 to a different hdd?
yes, you might need to reinstall it, but you can choose which drive to install to, even after steampipe update
