Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'. Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

What.
Validate files.

If that doesn't work, reinstall.

Create a gameinfo.txt file in that directory and ask someone to copy the text from theirs and post it

edit - fixed

uninstall or just update display adapter (card) i updated as i had a new recommended driver available under radeon. before i did this i defrag the hdd, until SSDs big enough for games is cheap which i plan to do (takes time to get a good performance ssd), defrags for that will be a thing of the past. update n restart. (never defrag a SSD!)

if you have hl2 installed run first, if not tf2 i guess. good luck. the bottom stuff couldnt hurt. Know your files..esp steam directories. things tend to change.

this was a noticeable apparent problem with switching monitors from 2650x1600 to 1920x1200, the res was locked and adv settings was not working. other games too did not recognise this res change and would not respond well. the above ^ sorted this, now res is changable and the games work, hopefully this is all you need to do and not have to touch the regedit configs. hope this helps


\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf

replace the config with >

https://www.dropbox.com/s/heyy925duvgapql/gameinfo.txt?dl=0

all steam does is revalidates the failed file and reacquires. nothing happens.

running windows?

i duno, got this now. with a host of other problems for just changing monitors (different res) and switching networks.


it seems to be a problem with windows, check updates. used to get factorio never starting up but run > SteamApps\common\Factorio\bin\x64\Factorio.exe

worked, anyway. had a problem with windows recently? did it restore?

will update if i figure this out. likely i need something from windows downloads, duno what that is or what im looking for. (fyi auto update has nothing) good times.

I found launching tf2 from steam worked.

I can't reinstall or check its properties, but it's gone from my steam library.
I tries troubleshooting compatibility and this happens:

Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'
Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

♥♥♥♥ this.
