Some users have certain problems withSteam gamesin Windows 10, and these problems didn’t bypass the Team Fortress 2.
This is one of the most populargamesonSteam. Luckily, there are two simple solutions for Team Fortress 2 problem in Windows 10, and you’ll find them below.
What to do if Team Fortress 2 is not working:
Solution 1 – Change the window border
Players were facing problems with Team Fortress 2 ever since the Technical Preview, and they are present even after the full version came out.
Eventually, easy solutions were found that solved the most cases with Team Fortress 2 inWindows 10 Technical Previewand reportedly, it will solve the problem in the full version, as well.
All you have to do is to change the window border, and thegameshould work normally. Just follow these instructions to solve the Team Fortress problem in Windows 10:
-windowed -noborder
According to the reports, this workaround fixed the majority of issues. If it didn’t get the job done for you, you can try the following solution as well.
Solution 2 – Set the specific screen resolution
If noborder command didn’t work, you can try this similar solution, and hopefully everything will be fixed. Here’s what you need to do:
windowed -noborder -w [SCR-H] -h [SCR-W]([SCR-H] and [SCR-W] are height and width of your screen, so here’s an example if yourscreen resolutionis 1400 x 900: windowed -noborder -w 1400 -h 900)
As I said, solutions are very similar, it’s the same command actually, but sometimes your screen resolution is not necessary and sometimes it is. This command solved the problem for most TF2 players on Windows 10, and I hope it will solve it for you, too.
Also, just to be sure, try to run thegameas an Administrator. Go to the installation folder, right-click on the TeamFortress2.exe launch file and then select the Run as administrator option.
Don’t forget to tell us in the comments section below if our solutions worked or if you found another fix to the problem. If you have any other Windows 10-related issues you can check for the solution in ourWindows 10 Fixsection.
