Works for me too, but doesn't work for any of my team. Official Steam solution is trying the old clientreg.blob trick and then deleting everything but steam.exe and the steamapps folder + restarting Steam, but that didn't fix it for me either. Seemed to work for some, might work for you. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2971-RUAG-7390]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=415027 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:11:41 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=415023 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=415023 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:04:40 +0200 Reply by dodgydogman https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=414864 Quoted from TheShadoW
same fucking problem. o/
Same solution: Delete blob files while steam in closed (do I even need to say that?). Or reinstall tf2 and if that doesnt work just fucking reinstall everything.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=414864 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:28:35 +0200 Reply by TheShadoW https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=414851 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=414851 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:54:29 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=414849 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=414849 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:47:24 +0200 Reply by Coleman https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=414847 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=23172&post=414847 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:41:41 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-23172/page-1/?recent=415671#post=414846 Quoted from ash
Steam Library > Rightclick the game > Delete local content
Sorry, I thought the original reply was a troll post...seems I misjudged it. I replied with a troll post...so take that rarecandy! soz :/ Quoted from severus
I usually just make a backup of the game, delete local content and re-install from backup. Worked every time so far for me.. Using a SSD so can't comment on the defragging, will probably help if you still have a HDD.
The 'every time' bit makes it sound like effort for little gain. Quoted from Starkie

This is my kind of lazy ass solution. Never actually clicked cancel for some very strange reason.
