I kept my steamapps folder, and what I meant was that after steam re-installed itself, it found that it needed to update TF2. Had this yesterday, last update is more then a week ago.

(re-extract the tf2 folder content by the game) >________________________________ > From: 1nsane <1nsane...@gmail.com> >To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list ><hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> >Sent: Tuesday, 10 April 2012, 0:09 >Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Reconnect to steam command? > >He said he deleted everything but a select few folders (where the useful >content is). >So I assume what he meant was that Steam updated (re-acquired the missing >core files needed to function). > >On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 5:54 PM, Saul Rennison <saul.renni...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> It didn't magically find that you needed an update.
