How much disk space now???!?!?!?!

[bnuuyhopper]

So I try to play tf2 comes up with steam needs to convert the game content to tf2 to a new more efficient format this will require an internet connection and a few mins time i wait it goes through then gets to a certain % of the second part then says NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? and it deletes most of my MB wtf someone help!

[JamesF0790]

Clear up some disk space, that's all I can suggest. It needs room to convert between the two formats.

I got up to 300 MB and it got me 1% complete.......

What you can try is deleting everything in your TF2 folder and installing from scratch. If you had any custom files you'll have to redownload them, though.

Will any of my items be deleted?

Basically TF2 before the conversion was about 12 GB Vanilla. After the update it only takes up 6.4GB on my drive. If you're that pressed for space you may want to just delete it and reinstall it.

Items as your weapons, hats, etc... No that is linked to your profile. Unless you delete them in game or through your steam inventory they are permanently there.

yep, they're all stored in the cloud...
think about it, if your stuff was stored on your computer, you could just give yourself whatever item you wanted :)

Thank you guys I will try and reinstall, if it continues to mess with me then I might need more help.

Go in and delete the TF2 file in Steamapps/<username>/TF2. It should of deleted a lot of stuff from this file but large files can still remain. I still have several GB in this file. Just to make sure the game was using up as little memory as possible I deleted all of TF2 and reinstalled it. Only took a few mins with my internet connection.

Huh, does that mean if someone was to hack the cloud, they could give themselves anything they want?

Cloud only holds your settings. Item servers hold your items, but you can't consider that "cloud" storage, its not local user data.
