heyy,

Bit of a random problem, just came up last night.

I launch tf2 and it gets to the loading on the main menu, then it just decides to minimize and I cant get it to open back up, so it ends up crashing.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? As I said, never happened before only since last night… thanks for any help in advance :)

I had the same problem which I managed to fix just by restarting steam I think, maybe restarting my pc. It went for a while and then came back, so far thats the only thing I’ve done to try and fix it.

Seems like it fixes it but doesn’t really sort the problem out in the long term, but give it a go, if you haven’t already of course.

Expert advice – turn it off and on again.

Changed/installed anything recently?
Try closing everything you dont need in your processes and then load tf2.
Make sure all launch options have been deleted.
Delete clientregistry.blob
try validating tf2 files?

do you use chris’ fps cfg? I used to, removed it and the problem went away. same for everything turning black after tabbing back in

I had this some time ago, fixed it by closing most things down on the background (Msn, firefox and other shitty stuff).

Had this some time ago. Just add -maximize to your launch options and you should be fine ;)

have fixed it, my res in launch options was slightly wrong,

removed -fullscreen , added -windowed – noborder and fixed the height, so its fine now.

Cheers for your help guys, especially Cobby & n00ne :)
