&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;新页面&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This page attempts to document common problems with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;TF2 Classic&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and their solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure you&amp;#039;ve completely followed the instructions listed at the [[Installation]] page before attempting to solve your problem here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current major issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Game crashes after the Valve intro/&amp;quot;Failed to apply client patches!&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a new issue caused by the recent SDK2013 update, and TF2 Classic not having been updated yet. To temporarily fix this, right click &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on Steam, click Properties, go to Beta, and select &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;previous2021&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whenever TF2 Classic updates to the new SDK2013 version, you&amp;#039;ll need to revert this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Could not load library client. Try restarting. If that doesn&amp;#039;t work, verify the cache.&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a new 2.0.4 issue caused by our crashpad handler requiring libraries that not all users have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&amp;#039;ll need to download and install this redistributable from Microsoft:&lt;br /&gt;
* https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Microstuttering/Network judder ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a new 2.0.4 issue, the cause is currently unknown but we&amp;#039;re looking into it. Let us know if you encounter this, along with any relevant information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== TF2CDownloader-related issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== (Windows) SmartScreen blocked TF2CDownloader! ===&lt;br /&gt;
It does this for every unsigned application. To sign it would cost us somewhere around $800 per year, so we don&amp;#039;t. On the SmartScreen pop-up, click &amp;quot;More info&amp;quot;, then &amp;quot;Run anyways&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== (Windows) It says TF2CDownloader is missing libraries! ===&lt;br /&gt;
This happens on Windows 7. We do not and cannot support Windows 7, you must install the game manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== (Linux) TF2CDownloader gives me an &amp;quot;Error loading Python lib&amp;quot;! ===&lt;br /&gt;
This happens when the application was built with a version of glibc that&amp;#039;s newer than what your distribution carries. Currently, we support Ubuntu 20.04 and any other distribution with glibc 2.31 or newer.&lt;br /&gt;
,&lt;br /&gt;
=== (Linux) TF2CDownloader downloads a .meta4 file, then crashes when it can&amp;#039;t find a .tar.zst file ===&lt;br /&gt;
This happens if your version of aria2 was compiled without metalink support. If you&amp;#039;re on a Gentoo Linux-based distribution, you can fix it by setting the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;metalink&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; USE flag for aria2 and then rebuilding it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why are there so many errors when I run TF2CDownloader? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Those are normal. The output is extremely verbose. The first thing TF2CDownloader does is check if the game file already exists for the purpose of verifying it. It usually doesn&amp;#039;t exist, which causes it to produce a &amp;quot;Checksum error&amp;quot;. Then, if any mirrors are failing, timing out, missing, or otherwise having issues, it&amp;#039;ll produce an error when it attempts to contact them as well. These are &amp;#039;&amp;#039;not&amp;#039;&amp;#039; fatal errors, and are expected in its course of operation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ...&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you&amp;#039;re updating, make sure the game and the launcher are closed, then try again. If the game is already closed, open task manager, and terminate &amp;quot;hl2.exe&amp;quot;. The game not properly terminating by itself is a bug.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== I can&amp;#039;t find the folder TF2CDownloader extracted! ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you&amp;#039;re not extracting into your sourcemods, your extraction directory is a large and cluttered folder, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;and&amp;#039;&amp;#039; you&amp;#039;re sorting by the modified date, you likely won&amp;#039;t find the folder it extracted easily. You should instead sort the folder alphabetically, and then scroll until you find the &amp;quot;tf2classic&amp;quot; folder, so you can move it to your sourcemods. Pressing F5 to refresh the folder&amp;#039;s contents may also be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Miscellaneous issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RaiseJSException: Method call failed: Installs.OpenInstallWizard... ===&lt;br /&gt;
This error most likely comes up when trying to launch TF2 Classic but Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer isn&amp;#039;t installed. [[Installation#Step 1: Downloading SDK 2013 Multiplayer|Read the first step of the instructions]] to install it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== I can&amp;#039;t connect to any servers and all of the text starts with #TF! ===&lt;br /&gt;
The folder of your game (which should contain a &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;gameinfo.txt&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file) should be named &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tf2classic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. If it is named &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tf2classic-latest&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; or if all of your files are dumped loosely in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, that will cause this to happen. Note that if Steam&amp;#039;s running, restart it after renaming the folder, or else an error will occur if you attempt to launch the game via Steam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The launcher tells me that SDK2013 isn&amp;#039;t installed, but it is! ===&lt;br /&gt;
This can happen if Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer is installed onto a separate drive from the Steam client. The correct drive will almost always be &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;C:\&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. Any other drive letters are bound to cause issues. You can move it as shown below:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MoveSDK.png|400px|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
For advanced users, it&amp;#039;s also possible to create a symlink from its expected location in the common folder on your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;C:\&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; drive to its real location on another drive. See instructions [[#Creating_a_symlink_on_Windows|here]] for how to create one.&lt;br /&gt;
rest&lt;br /&gt;
=== The launcher says that SDK2013 needs to be updated, but it is! ===&lt;br /&gt;
You should try to launch SDK2013 from Steam once. Even if Steam claims it&amp;#039;s fully installed, it may still require validation or other work, which Steam will only perform when you try to run it. After launching and closing it again, restart the launcher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The launcher doesn&amp;#039;t work! ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you run into any issues with the launcher, you&amp;#039;re safe to ignore it entirely. The game should appear in your Steam library if it was installed correctly, and you can launch it through there instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== My game doesn&amp;#039;t appear in my Steam library! ===&lt;br /&gt;
First, restart Steam completely if you haven&amp;#039;t since installing the game. Right-click Steam in your system tray, then click &amp;quot;Exit&amp;quot; from the menu that appears. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Or&amp;#039;&amp;#039; click the Steam button in the top-left of the window, and click &amp;quot;Exit&amp;quot; from the dropdown. Then start Steam again, and see if it appears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If that doesn&amp;#039;t work, make sure your folder structure is correct. Inside your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; folder, there should be a &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tf2classic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; folder, which should contain a &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;gameinfo.txt&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file. If this doesn&amp;#039;t perfectly line up, you extracted it incorrectly. If you have a path that looks like &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods/tf2classic-2.0.3/tf2classic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; or if all of your files are dumped loosely in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, that will cause it to be undetectable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This issue can also appear if Steam and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;TF2 Classic&amp;#039;&amp;#039; are installed on separate disks (for instance, Steam on your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;C:&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; drive and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;TF2 Classic&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;E:&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; drive). The solution is to create a &amp;quot;symlink&amp;quot;, a folder in your Steam installation that redirects to a folder on your external disk. The steps to do this vary depending on your system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Creating a symlink on Windows ====&lt;br /&gt;
# Locate your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; folder. If you can&amp;#039;t find it, you can run &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;reg query HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam /v SourceModInstallPath&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; in Command Prompt to see the path.&lt;br /&gt;
# Delete your &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; folder, otherwise the symlink can&amp;#039;t be made. If any mods are still in there, transfer them over to your preferred new location.&lt;br /&gt;
# Open Command Prompt as administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
# Enter this command: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;mklink /d /j &amp;quot;path to steam sourcemods&amp;quot; &amp;quot;path to your sourcemods&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replace &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;path to steam sourcemods&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; with your Steam &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; path, for instance: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replace &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;path to your sourcemods&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; with whatever path you require, for instance: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;D:\Games\sourcemods&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Creating a symlink on Linux ====&lt;br /&gt;
# Delete your Steam &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; folder, usually found at &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;~/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Open a terminal and run &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;ln -s /path/to/your/sourcemods ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like you would Windows, exchange &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/path/to/your/sourcemods&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; with the full path to the folder you wish to use on your external disk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that any external disk used for running games &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;must be readable and writable by your user, and you must have execute permissions.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; If this is an NTFS disk, follow Valve&amp;#039;s guide on preparing it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== (Linux) My game can&amp;#039;t connect to servers!/My in-game overlay doesn&amp;#039;t work! ===&lt;br /&gt;
On Linux, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;TF2C&amp;#039;&amp;#039; requires a special launch option to function properly. Right-click the game in your Steam library, click &amp;quot;Properties&amp;quot;, then paste this into the Launch Options field:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;LD_PRELOAD=&amp;quot;$HOME/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so&amp;quot; %command% -steam -steam&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This should fix the overlay, and allow you to connect to game servers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;The server you are trying to connect to is running an older version of the game.&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
This error is partially erroneous. Most commonly, the server isn&amp;#039;t running an older version of the game, you are. If you downloaded an older version of the game yourself, you&amp;#039;ll receive this error when connecting to official servers. Hence, you&amp;#039;ll need to reinstall the game from an archive using the latest version of the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Players are invisible in my game! ===&lt;br /&gt;
This tends to happen if your network is unreliable or your game stutters. It&amp;#039;s possible to run a command to fix this, though you&amp;#039;ll need to run this command every time it happens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Enable the Developer Console in the game settings.&lt;br /&gt;
# Press the ~ (tilde) key on your keyboard to open the console.&lt;br /&gt;
# Run &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;record demo;stop&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The game is stuck on &amp;quot;Retrieving server info&amp;quot; but I can hear in-game sounds! ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This problem happens if you&amp;#039;re running the game with Intel Graphics instead of using a dedicated GPU.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution is to lower the graphic settings until the problem no longer shows up.&lt;br /&gt;
