Nice guide.

Also remember people you need enough room on your drive for nearly another whole copy of TF2! Doubt this affects many but I’m trying to find stuff to delete lol.

Could delete TF2 first.

hmm, I’ve switched up to steampipe correctly and got everything to work, except for the hitsounds.

I’m using a quake hitsound and when I start TF2 it works, I get the quake dingaling.

But whenever I join another server, die, switch class or do anything my hitsound will consist of a short burst of static noise.

Any idea how to fix this?

Did you put them in “tfcustomrandomsounduihitsound.wav”? And if you used a vpk for it try not using it, it seems to not work well currently.

Yes, it won’t be used anymore.

Yeah I found reinstalling TF2 easier. Just made a backup of everything before reinstalling, so configs, huds and custom maps were easy to reinstall.
And finally I was able to install TF2 to SSD without mkdir or other tricks.

Unreal how fast the game loads now, and it was never an issue for me in the first place. No more 15 min waiting time for games to start? Do i dare dream?

I keep hearing that players have missing textures, hats, etc after going Steampipe. It seems some fairly random files happen to go broken/missing on conversion, so… After you have done with transition to Steampipe I recommend forcing Steam to Verify integrity of game cache. You can find the button in TF2 properties in steam.

I can see into the “void” at same places. If I shoot the missing textures, the game crashes. I will report if verifying the game cache will fix this.

EDIT: Verifying the integrity of the game cache has fixed the crashes and missing textures. Thanks!

An important thing to know is that if your server isn’t started with -sv_pure in the command line, you can’t set sv_pure to 2. I guess you’ll need to ask your GSP to have it added.

Go to your TF2 properties in Steam, go to the “Betas” tab and select the Steam Pipe beta

Chris’ highframes config isn’t working correctly, in console it prints that its loaded and what not, but in game I have reduced frame rate and things like mat_specular 0 don’t work. I don’t know if its installed incorrectly or not please help D:

It works just fine if you install it correctly, how to do it is written in first post.

Even after installing my CFGs, changing to Steampipe seems to have disabled m_rawinput. Took me a while of DMing to get suspicious.
