PLEASE CREATE A NEW THREAD AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

In order for members to help other members solve their technical support issues, you must provide the information required in order to solve it. "TF2 doesnt launch pls help" wont get you anywhere. You need to provide system info, a hijackthis! log to show what applications you are running, and any other information, such as a screenshot.

In order to provide this information, follow these steps.

Before continuing, be sure you have read and understand the Common Fixes and FAQ page.

Step 1: Get a dxdiag Log
Visit the tutorial on how to get a DirectX Log OR a Source Diagnostic Tool text dump.

Step 2: Post a New Topic
Click Here to make a new topic. In this topic, include a detailed explanation of your problem as well as the copy of the DirectX Log or SDT text dump. Here is a good example.

i would also recommend, for Vista users, to download the latest reliability/performance updates from the Microsoft download site. These are not automatically updated (not yet at least, until service pack 1).  These solved a problem i had with my notebook running Vista. Also, make sure you have the latest video drivers!

I can provide the links if you guys are lazy:

Hi, I want to play Team Fortress 2
But everyone time I'm in a map the screen keeps stopping and it's really annoying...
I have Nvidia 6000 r something like that and I updated the driver but It still does it..
Can anyone help ???

...

Your screen "stopping" is what we in the biz call "lag".

An Nvidia 6000 isn't nearly enough to run TF2, even on the lowest settings, not without doing some tweaking with scripts and such.  Fortunately for you, one of our members has posted a legitimate script that will help your game run much faster at a severe graphical price.  I warn you:  the game will look like shit, but you'll be able to play with a minimum of machine induced lag.

Go to this thread and follow the instructions given exactly to the letter.

PLEASE CREATE A NEW THREAD RATHER THAN POSTING YOUR PROBLEM HERE

Thank you.
