TF2 failing to start

[76561198075309698]

This is what I'm getting

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1.0)
Game update: AppID 440 "Team Fortress 2", ProcID 8307, IP 0.0.0.0:0

me too, not the same problem, but tf2 don't start. I ear the valve group jingle but don't see nothing, and after it freeze

Ubuntu 12.10-nvidia 9600gt, tested with different driver (310, 304.54)

go to /home/kris/Steam/SteamApps/mister_v3/ and rename the "team fortress 2" directory to "Team Fortress 2"

I tried renaming the folder and files (Team Fortress 2 Client Content.gcf, etc) so the first letter of each word is a capital. Nothing has changed.capital

I found the hl2.sh file and deleted it so steam would download a new copy that didnt work ether. if I try to run the game without hl2.sh I get even more wierd errors than the one I reported.

To save time did obtain most of the tf2 files from a Windows pc. Is there anything else I should check?

I'm using AMD 10.11 Beta drivers ( Not Beta 8)
Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit

TF2 seems crashing with joystick enabled. run "sudo rmmod joydev" no steam restart required and it may work. this is not solution for black screen.

rmmod may be dangerous. You should use "modprobe -r" instead. (see: man rmmod)

"-nojoy" also seems to work for some people.

Hello all. Tried the above but that didnt help. But I did manage to move forward. The problem was my profile folder was named Mister_v3 but steam was trying to look for hl2 in mister_v3
Now that i've renamed the folder to use all lower case steam is not looking for hl2.sh any more.

this is the next problem i'm having now though

I have exactly the same problem as you Mister_v3, I renamed my tf2 folder to Team Fortress 2 and now I'm getting these errors as well!

I also have the same problem. I renamed the "team fortress 2" folder to "Team Fortress 2" and error with hl2.sh was solved.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
It seems that tf2 can't load game overlay, so I unchecked "Enable Steam Community In-Game" in game properties. Now I have only "Failed to load the launcher" error and don't know what to do with that (.

Check the permissions of the files in ~/Steam/SteamApps/username/Team\ Fortress\ 2/bin/ and ~/Steam/SteamApps/username/Team\ Fortress\ 2/tf/bin/

I found that the necessary libraries did not have the 'r' permission even for the owner. After using "chmod +r *" in each directory, TF2 finally launched for me.

I can't seem to get to /home/mcb/steam let alone any further than that. I go to my folder, and there is no steam file. Any advice?
