Author Topic: Team Fortress 2 refuses to work.  (Read 1225 times)

My friend gifted me Team Fortress 2 about 3 days ago. It worked fine; for two days and a half.
Now, I can't control my character, switch classes, switch teams, or anything. When I try to talk to someone using the Shift+Tab Steam overlay, the text only comes out as numbers. (0123 49642 1834 012 34)
I can't even move. I can move while crouching, but if I stop crouching, my character takes over himself, and I can't control him. I tried reinstalling the game. I tried reinstalling Steam. I tried changing the controls. Nothing worked.

Try completely deleting the Team Fortes 2 folder from steam/steamapps/username

He didn't make that clear.

That sounds like it would break it.

Nothing happened. lol.

I think it might be something about the keyboard breaking when the game opens, I dunno.
Also it worked fine until I was forced to install Norton.

Tried it again. Now the character will move, but I can't control him, even when I'm crouching. I still cant communicate or anything.
