Joining to the server with link browser
So, basically when I search to the Internet Browser and I click to the link to join a server tf2 will open as usual, but when it try to connect it says "Bad challange".
I dunno what the error explain and this error began at the Competitive Update and now I want to solve this problem 'cause I don't want to copy the ip and paste to the game.
And, for let you know that I have a custom config optimization Comanglia's Config, I dunno maybe some command is in conflict or i dunno.

Thanks for helping and sorry for my mistakes, my native language is Italian so forgive me.
P.S.: If the section is wrong, is my first post in a Steam Forum I need practice xD

It is your Internet Browser configuration.

your english is pretty damn good actually
i assume you mean the ip links on websites that you click on, and would open up tf2 and connect you to the server
you might want to try connecting to the server manually - go to the console, and type 'connect _________' - copy and paste the ip after 'connect', and you should be able to connect from there
if you're still having problems, the server itself would most likely be down

OLDMAN, I do not belive because I tried every single browser with fresh install (e.g. Chrome, Opera, Firefox, IE and Edge) but with not result

Manually work, but I want to resolve the automatism by click the link and join into the server without any problem and any extra works. In fact, I will use the manually thing by copy and paste the ip in console until I found a solution of this "Bad challange"

I kinda resolve the automatism by closing the error, open the game console and type "retry" to reconect to the server, and it works. So, the error appear when is "booting" the game then there is no problem (in my opinion) with Internet connection, Ethernet, Wi-Fi but to the game instead.
By the way there is still the error "Bad challange" (The more I looking for the resolve of the problem, the more I belive this is a TF2 bug xD, I have contacted Valve support if will respond).
