Steam: Team Fortress 2 HL2.exe not responding

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty new to steam and after downloading TF2 on my computer I'm able to see the Valve logo along with the Source engine cenemaic logo. But shortly after where a cutscene introducing the game is supposed to start my computer stays black and the game stops responding. There is no error that comes up, it just shows my mouse pointer loading and from then on nothing but black. Its clearly something wrong with steam seeing as I can play other games perfectly but even after several reinstall the same problem occurs. I made a clean reinstall about 2 weeks ago so all my drivers are up to date. Thanks.

right click on TF2 in your library then go

 

Properties > Local Files > Check Integrity of Game Cache.

 

might not have downloaded something or something might have gotten corrupted during the download/install.

Try adding -windowed to the runtime paramaters if you're still having issues. Steam -> Library -> Right Click Team Fortress 2 -> Properties -> Set Launch Options

 

This will force the game to start in a window letting you find out if the fullscreen mode is the problem. Also adding a space then -novid removes the valve intro video.

Deleted registry keys that contained steam information then did a reinstall of steam and TF2 and worked. After that I did a Clean install of windows and just installed everything from scratch. Either option solved my problem. Thanks for the responses, learned a few things too.
