TF2 won't launch.
I have played TF2 for over 300+ hours and never had this problem. I press play and it shows the box that says preparing to launch then nothing happens? It shows im playing TF2 for about 3-4 seconds and it just goes back to being online.

I have googled this problem and i noticed that a lot of people too have this problem.

Can anybody help me?

I checked all of these and it still doesn't launch.

Try restarting the computer, then logging back in. After that, try to launch tf2, which might initiate a validating files action. Let the files validate until it says its done or at 100%, then you might be able to play tf2.

Samuel tried your solution and it still doesn't work :/

Ok, sorry. Try a defragmentation of your files, then a scan. Some files might have been corrupt or you might have a virus, or both.
If this does not work, you might have to uninstall and redownload tf2.
Also make sure you have Steam beta working, this might be part of the problem.
I dedicate myself to helping people, so I am doing everything I can to make sure you get back on track with your game.

I validated my files and defragmented them already. I redownloaded tf2 just a few hours ago. I have steam beta selected too. But this didn't solve my problem. I appreaciate your help Samuel :)

Ok, well if I discover any way to fix this, I will let you know. I'm not just saying that as like a if I run into an answer, I am really searching purposely to find out how to fix your problem.

If you need any more information, this problem happened after the halloween update.

I found a thing in my library of team fortress 2 beta, and lots of people play it. So it is probably legit. See if this was sent to your library for download from Valve. I haven't downloaded it yet, but it might be able to fix the problem. I have not installed it and I can still play tf2, so this will probably not fix it, but its just a shot. I didn't send it to you, I think Valve sent it to everybody, since lots of people play it.

I don't see it in my library and i can't find it in the steam store.
Jer Jan 12, 2013 @ 8:56pm 
Maybe i'll just wait for valve to push out an update to fix my problem. :/

The TF2 beta is only in the library of "Premium" TF2 users. Basically, someone who has bought an item from the Mann Co. Store.
Jer Jan 12, 2013 @ 9:00pm 
Hmm that explains it. I'll check my other premium account to see if theres a tf2 beta there.
Angel Jan 12, 2013 @ 9:03pm 
Like I said, its a long shot, but it might end up fixing it.
