Team Fortress 2 won't launch.

[Zeugziumy]

I recently have obtained the Steam Linux beta... I have got TF2 and was ready to launch...

Okay, it opened, my status retained as "playing". Than, it goes online and nothing happens, no application appeared or nothing.

The steamapps file IS THE SAME from the windows one, I don't know if this conflict or something.

I tried to download some drivers and etc.

Thanks.

Ubuntu 12.10
I use AMD and ATI graphics

[Codesmith512]

I'm having this same problem, but my steam freezes on opening TF2

[Rob]

Are you both using Ubuntu 12.10? Steam's hardware specifications are aimed for 12.04 not 12.10 simply because 04 is supported for several years whilst 10 is only supported for two. That's probably why Steam developers went with that. The libraries and such should be available even if you are on 12.10 anyway. So make sure you've upgraded.

Open the terminal > sudo apt-get update > enter password and hit enter > now type in sudo apt-get upgrade then hit enter. If prompted, type "Y" and hit enter to install upgrades.

[Zeugziumy]

I can't update. Every update I get interrupted by matlab.

The default location goes to /opt/matlab.

I copied the currently matlab location (at my home folder), and it don't works.

You need the AMD-Betadrivers http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1211betadriver.aspx

The latest NVidia drivers are 310.19, I'm running them on my laptop (Samsung R780, so older chipset (GT 330M) with Mint 14 + cinnamon) no problem TF2 has run flawlessly (thus far)

[Zeugziumy]

I'm thinking to install Fedora instead of Ubuntu. But I will try get the driver

The Beta AMD driver works for me on my desktop, it does plaster a "Testing Only" message on the bottom right, but there are relatively easy fixes for that.
( http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846939071152552044/ )

[Zeugziumy]

I tried to install, and it tells that my graphics adapter doesn't support.

[whitefox7]

Just upgraded to 310.19...same issue

[whitefox7]

GOT IT WORKING!!

Nvidia Drivers updated succesfully to 310.19, my NVidia card uses Optimus Technology, so in order to run games just launch the ".sh" file in a terminal after "optirun" command.

For TF2 Beta I followed this post:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/LinuxOptimus/discussions/1/864951657813049306/#c864951657813051785

[Zeugziumy]

Lemme try

[Zeugziumy]

I give up, I will try it later

[KROP]

When i launch the game it crashed on loading background after intro video. I have Archlinux x64 and Ati HD4330M with open source driver.
