TF2 problem.....(sigh)
I have been having some problems with my PC playing TF2 this week. As most of you know I usually play TF2 all the time and never have any problems but for some reason this week when I get on to play online or any half life related game it stutters so bad it's unplayable. The weird thing is that other games like Oblivion, Flatout 2 and Civilization 4 work just fine. Its like my PC is not reading my DirectX for just this game for some reason. I just wondered if anyone has had the same problem or if anyone knows why my PC is doing this and how to fix it.

He's running a dual core intel system with 2 gigs of ram, and a good mid to high range video card (don't remember the model). He's also running Vista. This one has had me stumped for a week now, anyone have any ideas?
As far as we know. Like I said, we've yet to try any 3rd party mods to see if they're effected. I keep telling him to do that Nothing else seems to be effected on his PC.
And in regards to Thrax, we've done that once to fix a different issue he had months ago. We could try it again, but I was hoping to find a more simple fix before we resort to that. I've got a feeling we may end up doing that regardless.

There you go. I remembered.
We reinstalled Steam completely, just to find out that somewhere there is a corrupt file within his *email/steamapps folder. If he puts his old folder into the new installation, the problem reoccurs, but when removed, it's fixed. Must have been a bad map download, or something malicious, or who knows what.
Either way, Hitman's good to go.
Glad you're back. Now we just need to get GQ back in.
True dat. QFT. And anything else that means that's right.
Now if I could just finish all the homework that I had due today, I could play!
for future use if you just right clicked on the game propertys then clicked check cache integrity it would have got an error and downloaded that part that was corrupt.
And pretty much any other steam issue can be fixed by defraging your hard-drive (Valves games are very picky) or deleting "%programfiles%\steam\clientregistry.blob" file.
