HELP TF2 WON`T LAUNCH
I need help, when i try to open my tf2, the opening box appears for 1-2 seconds and dissapears again and the game doesnt start, i tried every single thing like:
-Reinstalling steam(i even went on regedit and deleted it there too)
-trying windowed mode
-updated my windows
-updated my drivers
-checked for steam updates
-renaming the game on steam/steamapps/Teamfortress2/tf
-opening steam and the game on security mode or starting it as an administrator
-clock time and date is all correct
-checked my game files integrity, everything is fine
-and of course restarted my pc like 300 times and reinstalled the game many many times

PLEASE HELP, i searched on reddit and on other forums, found posts of 2013 and below, same problem and nobody could find a fix

What kind of PC do you have?

Try running it with these launch options:
-w yourmonitorwidth -h yourmonitorheight
replace yourmonitorwidth with your monitor width (in pixels) and yourmonitorheight with your monitor height (in pixels).
So if you have a 1920x1080 monitor, it is going to be:
-h 1080 -w 1920

try in your launch options
-w 1280 -h 720 -novid

if that doesnt work then delete your system 32 folder

I have some other ideas for launch options:
-autoconfig -32bit -dxlevel 60 -language english -noasync -nojoy -nosound -nostartupsound -nosteamcontroller -safe
This will:
disable all sound (-nosound and -nostartupsound)
start the game in 32 bit mode (-32bit)
reset all configuration temporarily (-autoconfig)
force the language to english (-language english)
disable asynchronous file access (may make the game unplayable with lag) (-noasync)
disable support for controller (-nojoy and -nosteamcontroller)
force fixed refresh rate and windowed mode (-safe)
force it to use DirectX 6.0 (-dxlevel 60)
set the resolution to 640x480 (-safe)
disables antialiasing (-safe)

Reinstall game if that doesn't work then reinstall windows.

bruh
Instead of reinstall it. Try to disable the steam cloud thing with the tf2. Delete all the files on the Team Fortress 2 file (Not the tf2 file) so steam will download a refreshed game.

If you use autoexec or something some of the commands can break the game.Remove all your custom stuff. Do not use config.

Try replacing it all with "-textmode". See if it starts in any way, you won't actually be able to play the game that way, but we will find out if it is graphics.

And disable Steam cloud for TF2
