What i did so far: 1. Step:
Went into game/properties/local files/ then clicking verify cache files it started updating again. When i launched the game and i tried to join a server then i either get disconnected because i dont have the new plr Map or a "particles/water_dx80.pcf" error what leads to a disconnect. Console output for the disconnected error: Bad CRC for particles/burningplayer.pcf Bad CRC for particles/burningplayer_dx80.pcf Bad CRC for particles/teleport_status.pcf Bad CRC for particles/water.pcf Bad CRC for particles/water_dx80.pcf Server is enforcing consistency for this file: Host_Error: Server is enforcing file consistency for particles/water_dx80.pcf Console output for "version" command AFTER update: ] version Protocol version 15 Exe version 1.0.5.4 (tf) Exe build: 12:07:50 May 4 2009 (3831) (440) 2. Step: I have deleted TF2 (delete local content - via game menu) and re-downloaded... Now its a loop - finished dl followed by verify game -> updating -> verify game -> updating -> and so on... When i restart steam and then try to launch TF2 it validates and then jumps from 0% -> 100% and nothing happens or it will launch but its still version 1.0.5.4 and not updated. 3. Step: I did exit steam, then deleted steamclient.dll and clientRegistry.blob and re-downloaded them. Same problem. 4. Step: Defragmented my HDD and the game files via Steam. Still no joy. I do not have any custom files or autoexec.cfg setting.
