TF2 Dosen't Load - Assertion Failed

[d10sfan]

Trying to run Team Fortress 2 and when I hit Play, the below error comes out in Terminal (launched steam through Terminal). I am running the beta Nvidia drivers (310). TF2 under Wine works fine, and i can play Red Orchestra and Killing Floor through Steam on Linux just fine. I'm also not in the beta if that makes a difference, although I was able to install the game just fine (recently came up in my games list).

Second. Exact same error.

I'm on ATI Radeon 5470 mobile card, Intel Core i3 2.4ghz, Arch Linux.


Running gnome shell (though the same error is present with XFCE)

[PyGuy]

Same error for my Nvidia GTX560 with 3.10 drivers. Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.

[Leornic]

Same error.
I'm on ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470, Intel Core i3, 2.1 Ghz, Manjaro (an distribution of Arch Linux). As a DE I'm using XFCE.

Are any of you using an XBox 360 wireless adapter? If so, try removing it to see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the response. Just unplugged the adapter and then went into Terminal and did "sudo rmmod xpad"
and TF2 launched

[d10sfan]

Just wanted to say nice work! Just played the game for a bit and was getting 100 fps on high settings (without AA). Did notice that when I changed the settings to try and increase aa when in a game, it froze

Not using a Xbox controller still getting the same error as OP, tried the LC_NUMERIC=POSIX steam steam://store, aswell Big picture mode has similar error, but Serious sam 3 BFE, works flawless

[MΞngine]

Also having this issue. Using XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB "xXx" card.

[MΞngine]

Not using any Xbox controllers

This should be fixed in the next update. You should be able to pass in "-nojoy" on the command line to workaround this for now also. Thanks!

Ok, all of a sudden (with or without this command), I am getting a black screen in TF2. I can hear the sound, but no video.
