So after searching all day I found a fix finally for me i'm running Windows 7 64bit and lots of people had crashing issues. Well from a post I found it told me to copy the following file.
save this as gameinfo.txt and place it in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\yourusername\sourcesdk_content\tf folder.
I figured I would post this on here for new commers that also have issues in Windows 7 64bit. For me this method worked like a charm no more crashing .
If your still having problem try the following method below. Locate your GameConfig.txt file and make sure the paths are complete. The file should be located in the following C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\yourusername\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin. I really wanted this fixed to see how much faster hammer editor loads on my new machine.
So I hope this works and hopefully you have followed the instructions. If you need help I will check back every other day and try to help you.
Code:
"GameInfo"
{
game "TF2 SteamPipe Beta"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 1
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 0
hidden_maps
{
"test_speakers" 1
"test_hardware" 1
}
nodegraph 0
GameData "tf.fgd"
InstancePath "maps/instances/"
advcrosshair 1
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 440 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//
//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\half-life 2.
//
SearchPaths
{
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game tf
Game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
}
}
}
