Updating: Difference between revisions

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 blogpost for more details. Follow the relevant section for your needs below.

Install the latest version of TF2CDownloader. Older versions do not support updating, so you need to download the latest version before you can update:

Whenever you run TF2CDownloader, it will ask you where you want to install the game. Unless you chose a different directory from the default when you first installed the game, you should accept the default again. At this point, if it detects an existing installation, it will check it for updates. If you're on 2.0.3 or below, it should tell you there's an update available and ask if you want to update. Once you accept this, it will download and extract the patch and apply it to your game. You can launch as normal afterwards, and check if you're on 2.0.4 by looking at the version number in the top-right of the main menu.
