I keep on moving forward ;-;

[developing developers]

So every single time I respawn or change classes in tf2, I keep on moving forward. All I can do is open console and type -forward.

It was okay and not that big of a problem until i started to play some ugc and lobbies and actually lost a few rounds because every second counts and it takes 4-5 seconds minimum to actually type -forward.

anyone know how to fix this?
Also, in the death cam, it shows %KILLERNAME% and %NEMESISNAME% instead of the health and name of the guy who killed me.

Thanks^^

there are few ways to fix this. first option is to verify game files, that should also fix the death cam problems. If that does not fix the moving forward thing, then do this:
in your steamapps tf2 folder (steam/steamapps/common/teamfortress2/tf/ ), there is folder named "cfg", go there and find a "autoexec.cfg". Open it with notepad and it should show few lines of text. just write "-forward" there and it should work, because autoexec.cfg automatically applies all the commands put in there, when you launch the game. If there is no "autoexec.cfg" in the cfg folder, just create new file with notepad and save it as "autoexec.cfg".

another option is to reinstall the game, this will fix everything but I don't think you would like to do that unless the other options wont work.

"All operating systems - Verify integrity of game cache

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit."

I wonder why reinstalling didn't work... Well if this does not work either, I think you should contact steam support about it.

It may be a problem with your actual keyboard.... Does this problem occur with other games?

[developing developers]

nope. only tf2. i'm pretty sure it's not with the keyboard.

It sounds like you've got messed up keybinds. You could go through with a fine tooth comb setting up the binds manually; but easier just to wipe and start fresh.

Make sure you've turned off Sync-with-Cloud in the multiplayer options so that the steam cloud doesn't over-write your changes; then uninstall the game, delete the entire folder, and reinstall from scratch making sure you've got enough drive space.

There are issues with FAT32 not liking the size of the ever increasing TF2 download sizes; so it could be a drive allocation issue.

hmm tried the -forward in the autoexec and verified steam files. tf2 still keeps on +forward binding me everytime I spawn. Ace42, by deleting the entire folder, which folder are you talking about?
