Can't connect to tf2 servers

[Carbonautics]

I have TF2 installed on my PC but I'm not able to connect to any of the servers, I log in through steam and stuff, but cant connect to the servers. If that's solved then I will be on tf2.

Hey, i just installed tf2 3 days ago, and after seeing that we have a server, i tried connecting to the FA server, but it didn't connect. it gave no error, nothing it just flashed the connecting screen and its back to the main menu of the game. I have logged in through steam, and tried with many servers where my ping was less than 70ms, but the same probblem occured for those servers too. what might be happening?

1. your computer specs have the minimum required? make sure you have ports opened UDP/TCP drivers updated + directx 

 

2. goto library, right click game name

A:

 

 

 

B: properties 

 

 

C: verify

 

 

3. maybe changing resolution can fix it without "verify integrity of game cache"

 

D: Open launch settings 

Look Picture A and B

 

now put cmds -noforcemspd -useforcedmparms -windowed -width 800 height 600 and ok you can use just 

-windowed -width 800 -height 600

I have the max required too, I play it on 1080p, directx is up to date, don't know a thing about udp/tcp, how do I do that?

try changing launch options, start game windowed then go to options video and do your changes also full screen and remove lines in launch before running the game again

nope, didn't help with the windowed mode, it goes to the loading screen for 1 second and its back to home screen

i had problems like this  with  dklenged 

 

lot of the time just restart the  pc fixes this problem 

 

 

what have you try to do by your self other then what  been said in here 

 

 

from just google this  lot of people have this problem here are some solution i have come across you can give them all a try but i would try them 1 at a time 

 

**** SOLUTION ****
You most likely do have a hud file, just go to your pc > Programs (86x) > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Team Fortress 2 > Tf > Custom. and then delete your HUD file. Then start the game. If it doesn't work, then I'm clueless. This worked for me at least!

 

/////////////////////

Steam Library >>> Right-Click Team Fortress 2 >>> Properties >>> Local Cache >>> Verify Integrity of Game Cache >>> Once it's complete, restart Steam and try again

/////////////////////

/////////////////////

Your antivirus software is probably throttling steam. Open it and add it to the list of exception

////////////////////

Check if your current AV might be screwing with it's custom firewall. (If you have one.)

Also try ticking the public box for tf2 on both the list entries in windows firewall.

 

 

can't really offer anymore then this if any of this don't work i would  suggest simple google can't join  tf2 servers  that all i google to get all this info  google is your  friend i don't no how many times i had to tell this to my friends who have problems with  games  it never gets old

check if you are running as admin, don't run steam as admin privilegies, run it normal without any compatibility.

I'm redownloading it right now, my internet is too slow so, lets see what happens when it finishes
