	~~For 2.0.4~~, ~~we're~~ using ~~a new update method based on~~ the same ~~utility we use to install~~ the ~~game~~, ~~rather than using the launcher~~. ~~The launcher may have sent~~ you to ~~this page~~ to ~~instruct you on how to update your~~ game, ~~or if~~ you're ~~a server owner, you may have come here from~~ the ~~blog post for more details~~. ~~Follow~~ the relevant section for your needs ~~below~~.		TF2 Classic can be installed, updated, and repaired, all using the same tool: TF2CDownloader. This tool can be used on the client and server, Linux or Windows. If you're looking to update to 2.1.0 from an earlier version of the game, you're in the right place. Find the relevant section below for your needs and follow the instructions.

	== Clients ==		== Clients ==
	=== Update automatically ===		=== Update automatically ===
	~~Older versions of~~ TF2CDownloader ~~do not support updating~~, so you need to ~~download the latest version before you can update~~:		You should already have TF2CDownloader if you installed the game vaguely recently. If it's too old, you may need to redownload TF2CDownloader:

	* Windows: https://github.com/tf2classic/TF2CDownloader/releases/latest/download/TF2CDownloaderWindows.exe		* Windows: https://github.com/tf2classic/TF2CDownloader/releases/latest/download/TF2CDownloaderWindows.exe
	* Linux: https://github.com/tf2classic/TF2CDownloader/releases/latest/download/TF2CDownloaderLinux		* Linux: https://github.com/tf2classic/TF2CDownloader/releases/latest/download/TF2CDownloaderLinux

	Upon running TF2CDownloader, you will be asked ~~where you want to install~~ the ~~game~~. Unless your game installation is in a different directory from the default, you should accept the default path.		Upon running TF2CDownloader, you will be asked for the path of your sourcemods folder. Unless your game installation is in a different directory from the default, you should accept the default path.

	~~'''Make sure~~ the ~~launcher~~ is ~~closed whenever~~ you~~'re running TF2CDownloader, otherwise it~~'ll ~~fail to update~~.~~'''~~		After the path is selected, you'll find yourself at a menu with three options. "1" will (re)install the game, "2" will update your game if already installed, and "3" will validate your game files. If you're on this person, you probably want to press '''2''' here. It should take care of the rest itself, first validating your existing version of the game and then updating it to the latest.

	~~At this point, if it detects an existing installation, it~~ will ~~check it for updates. If your~~ game ~~is out of date~~, ~~you~~ will ~~be prompted to~~ update your game ~~to the latest version. Once accepted~~, it will ~~download the patch and apply it to~~ your game. ~~You can launch as normal afterwards, and confirm~~ you're on the ~~latest~~ version ~~by checking the top-right~~ of the ~~main menu in-~~game.

	=== Update manually ===		=== Update manually ===
	If you're unable to use ~~the downloader~~, ~~you can also manually download~~ and ~~extract~~ the ~~update~~ archive ~~over your game. Download~~ https://~~wiki.~~tf2classic.com/~~downloader/tf2classic-patch-203-204.zip and merge the contained "tf2classic" folder with the one in your sourcemods, overwriting when prompted.~~		Due to internal restructuring between 2.0 and 2.1, we're unable to offer an easy self-extractable patch, as it wouldn't be meaningfully smaller than reinstalling the game. If you're unable to use TF2CDownloader to update, we instead recommend backing up your /cfg/ folder and reinstalling the game from the manual ZIP archive available at https://tf2classic.com/download
