Team fortress 2 classic engine error

Guys I got the solution. What I did was to delete the game, go to the tf2 folder in steam, go inside the folder, delete everything. Then reinstall tf2. Once done verify the cache. Once I finished, it was fixed. Hope it fixes for you guys too!

Hi, sorry this question is a year and a half later, but I’m having the same issue. Where do you find the folder for TF2 in Steam?

Team fortress 2 classic engine error

What you said is not true. TF2 needs to be allocated more memory. Take your RAM size, say it’s 8gb. Divide that by 2. 4gb, in kb is 4194304. Do not use all of your ram. Use half, always.

In launch settings, type -heapsize and then place the number afterwards.

2GB in kb (2^21) = 2097152, heap size = 2097152/2 = 1048576
4GB in kb (2^22) = 4194304, heap size = 4194304/2 = 2097152
8GB in kb (2^23) = 8388608, heap size = 8388608/2 = 4194304

So it would be.
-heapsize 4194304
if you had 8GB of RAM, if you have less, use less.

I am unfamiliar on how to change the graphical settings. Where do I go to do so?

im not going to ♥♥♥♥ up my game cybern im just gonna wait and hopefully they will fix it

Okay fine by me, wait for Gaban’s next great thing, yes hes the god of games. But he makes ‘Us’ wait far too long.

Still, I can’t join ANY server. Not only Valve. I can’t join ANY server, like FF2, Saxton, Deathrun and bunch of others. Still says «Engine Error» «You are out of memory!»

On a scale of 1 to 10 how goods your computer (10 being good, 1 being ♥♥♥♥)

thx, but it’s still not working

You may have a different problem, try the thing that someone suggested earlier:

Troubleshooting

This page attempts to document common problems with TF2 Classic, and their solutions.

Make sure you’ve completely followed the instructions listed at the Installation page before attempting to solve your problem here.

Contents

Current major issues

Game won’t start/Missing VCRUNTIME140.dll or MSVCP140.dll

This is a new 2.0.4 issue caused by our crashpad handler requiring libraries that not all users have.

You’ll need to download and install these redistributables from Microsoft:

Microstuttering/Network judder

This is a new 2.0.4 issue, the cause is currently unknown but we’re looking into it. Let us know if you encounter this, along with any relevant information.

(Windows) SmartScreen blocked TF2CDownloader!

It does this for every unsigned application. To sign it would cost us somewhere around $800 per year, so we don’t. On the SmartScreen pop-up, click «More info», then «Run anyways».

(Windows) It says TF2CDownloader is missing libraries!

This happens on Windows 7. We do not and cannot support Windows 7, you must install the game manually.

(Linux) TF2CDownloader gives me an «Error loading Python lib»!

This happens when the application was built with a version of glibc that’s newer than what your distribution carries. Currently, we support Ubuntu 20.04 and any other distribution with glibc 2.31 or newer.

(Linux) TF2CDownloader downloads a .meta4 file, then crashes when it can’t find a .tar.zst file

This happens if your version of aria2 was compiled without metalink support. If you’re on a Gentoo Linux-based distribution, you can fix it by setting the metalink USE flag for aria2 and then rebuilding it.

Why are there so many errors when I run TF2CDownloader?

Those are normal. The output is extremely verbose. The first thing TF2CDownloader does is check if the game file already exists for the purpose of verifying it. It usually doesn’t exist, which causes it to produce a «Checksum error». Then, if any mirrors are failing, timing out, missing, or otherwise having issues, it’ll produce an error when it attempts to contact them as well. These are not fatal errors, and are expected in its course of operation.

«PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: . TF2ClassicLauncher.exe»

If you’re updating, make sure the launcher is closed and no files within the tf2classic folder are open, then try again.

If you’re not extracting into your sourcemods, your extraction directory is a large and cluttered folder, and you’re sorting by the modified date, you likely won’t find the folder it extracted easily. You should instead sort the folder alphabetically, and then scroll until you find the «tf2classic» folder, so you can move it to your sourcemods. Pressing F5 to refresh the folder’s contents may also be useful.

Miscellaneous issues

I can’t connect to any servers and all of the text starts with #TF!

Make sure your folder structure is correct. Inside your sourcemods folder, there should be a tf2classic folder, which should contain a gameinfo.txt file. If this doesn’t perfectly line up, you extracted it incorrectly. If you have a path that looks like sourcemods/tf2classic-2.0.3/tf2classic or if all of your files are dumped loosely in sourcemods , that will cause this to happen.

The launcher tells me that SDK2013 isn’t installed, but it is!

This can happen if Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer is installed onto a separate drive from the Steam client. The correct drive will almost always be C: . Any other drive letters are bound to cause issues. You can move it as shown below:

For advanced users, it’s also possible to create a symlink from its expected location in the common folder on your C: drive to its real location on another drive. See instructions here for how to create one.

The launcher says that SDK2013 needs to be updated, but it is!

You should try to launch SDK2013 from Steam once. Even if Steam claims it’s fully installed, it may still require validation or other work, which Steam will only perform when you try to run it. After launching and closing it again, restart the launcher.

The launcher doesn’t work!

If you run into any issues with the launcher, you’re safe to ignore it entirely. The game should appear in your Steam library if it was installed correctly, and you can launch it through there instead.

My game doesn’t appear in my Steam library!

First, restart Steam completely if you haven’t since installing the game. Right-click Steam in your system tray, then click «Exit» from the menu that appears. Or click the Steam button in the top-left of the window, and click «Exit» from the dropdown. Then start Steam again, and see if it appears.

If that doesn’t work, make sure your folder structure is correct. Inside your sourcemods folder, there should be a tf2classic folder, which should contain a gameinfo.txt file. If this doesn’t perfectly line up, you extracted it incorrectly. If you have a path that looks like sourcemods/tf2classic-2.0.3/tf2classic or if all of your files are dumped loosely in sourcemods , that will cause it to be undetectable.

This issue can also appear if Steam and TF2 Classic are installed on separate disks (for instance, Steam on your C: drive and TF2 Classic on your E: drive). The solution is to create a «symlink», a folder in your Steam installation that redirects to a folder on your external disk. The steps to do this vary depending on your system.

Creating a symlink on Windows

1. Locate your sourcemods folder. If you can’t find it, you can run reg query HKCUSoftwareValveSteam /v SourceModInstallPath in Command Prompt to see the path.
2. Delete your sourcemods folder, otherwise the symlink can’t be made. If any mods are still in there, transfer them over to your preferred new location.
3. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
4. Enter this command: mklink /d /j «path to steam sourcemods» «path to your sourcemods»

Replace «path to steam sourcemods» with your Steam sourcemods path, for instance: «C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappssourcemods»

Replace «path to your sourcemods» with whatever path you require, for instance: «D:Gamessourcemods»

Creating a symlink on Linux

1. Delete your Steam sourcemods folder, usually found at

/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods
Open a terminal and run ln -s /path/to/your/sourcemods

Like you would Windows, exchange /path/to/your/sourcemods with the full path to the folder you wish to use on your external disk.

Note that any external disk used for running games must be readable and writable by your user, and you must have execute permissions. If this is an NTFS disk, follow Valve’s guide on preparing it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows.

(Linux) My game can’t connect to servers!/My in-game overlay doesn’t work!

On Linux, TF2C requires a special launch option to function properly. Right-click the game in your Steam library, click «Properties», then paste this into the Launch Options field:

LD_PRELOAD=»$HOME/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so» %command% -steam -steam

This should fix the overlay, and allow you to connect to game servers.

«The server you are trying to connect to is running an older version of the game.»

This error is partially erroneous. Most commonly, the server isn’t running an older version of the game, you are. If you downloaded an older version of the game yourself, you’ll receive this error when connecting to official servers. Hence, you’ll need to reinstall the game from an archive using the latest version of the game.

Players are invisible in my game!

This tends to happen if your network is unreliable or your game stutters. It’s possible to run a command to fix this, though you’ll need to run this command every time it happens.

1. Enable the Developer Console in the game settings.
2. Press the

(tilde) key on your keyboard to open the console.

The game is stuck on «Retrieving server info» but I can hear in-game sounds!

This problem happens if you’re running the game with Intel Graphics instead of using a dedicated GPU.

The solution is to lower the graphic settings until the problem no longer shows up.

this just started popping up today

You don’t have anough memory to run TF2.

Remove some useless files from your computer.

It’s talking about the RAM, not the hard drive. You have to low the texture quality in your settings.

It’s talking about the RAM, not the hard drive. You have to low the texture quality in your settings.

I’ll try that and see what happens. If it still does it I’m going to go with the good ol’ uninstall and reinstall.

It’s talking about the RAM, not the hard drive. You have to low the texture quality in your settings.

I think part of my problem was that my textures were on Very High, when High was the reccomended for my system.

I’ll try that and see what happens. If it still does it I’m going to go with the good ol’ uninstall and reinstall.

Try lowering all the textures. The game will look like smashed potatoes, but your RAM will rest a bit more (as well as your CPU).

alrighty, My tf2 is on the lowest possible settings, low on every graphics settings sometimes the memory doesn’t skyrocket, other times it does. Any fixes bois?
