It might have something to do with which disk it's downloaded onto. My fix was a bit of a hassle but hey, it worked. I had to completely uninstall steam and all of the file because I had essentially one half of my tf2 files on my C: disk and the other on my D: disk. I'm not too tech savvy but might be something with that idk :/
