alright so I bought Team fortress 2 and I downloaded it for like 3 hours. After it was done I clicked the play game button on steam. It said preparing to launch, then a black screen appears and disappears instantly, what do I do?

Your graphics card isn't good enough to run TF2.

I have a mac book pro, I can run world of warcraft, blockland, warcraft three, all those games. If my graphics card isn't good enough why can I run those? Also the screen goes away instantly.

Might I suggest you get some support from the people who made the game?

Yeah, that happened to me, and it turned out my graphics card wasn't good enough.

You do understand that just because you can play low-graphic games, doesn't mean you can play one that requires a decent graphics card right?
