I’m new to TF2 scene and I already ran into a problem. I don’t know if I’m stupid for not figuring this out but whatever. Whenever I fully connect to a server I get kicked instantly for having addons/scripts/some file in tf/bin. After I remove this file it tells me to, and restart the game (which also takes more than 5 minutes everytime for unknown reason) I’ve either lost the spot or it tells me to remove ANOTHER file. This happened for 3 times in a row now and I’m kinda fed up with it. So if anyone knows what might be causing it, I’d be more than glad to hear it.

I get kicked instantly for having /scripts/

Some public servers have DBlocker installed which doesn’t allow clients with “surfaceproperties.txt.” to join. Just avoid these. Never heard of lobby servers having that kind of block tho.

tf/bin.

You’re probably referring to client.dll. Check this solution

or try verifying integrity of game cache

(which also takes more than 5 minutes every time for unknown reason)

try using an fps config if you’re running tf2 on an old machine

Also try to defragment your hard drive, it might faster the game loading process

Happens to me EVERY time I try to connect to some other server after playing on PingTimeout DM server. Restarting the game fixes it, again, every time.
