Welcome to Team Comtress 2!

What is TC2?

Team Comtress 2 is a set of modifications on top of an older version of Team Fortress 2, with a community development team fixing bugs, improving performance, and adding quality of life features, with the goal of having those changes pulled upstream by Valve to the modern game.

What is TC2 not?

TC2 is not an alternative, more stable game experience

TC2 is based on the 2017 TF2 source code leak, which contained an in-development version of Jungle Inferno. This build is rife with issues and incomplete features, and is not compatible with the modern game client.

How can I help?

  1. Report bugs that exist in live TF2 or TC2 through the issues page.
    • Bugs that are present in modern TF2 but are not present in TC2 cannot be fixed in this project.
  2. Suggest quality of life improvements (not balance changes) through the issues page.
    • These changes should not affect gameplay, and should be unanimously desired.
  3. Install TC2 and play the game to test stability, bugfixes, and performance.
    • As a separate game, you cannot play normal TF2 matchmaking. You can only connect to TC2 servers.
    • Information about multiplayer playtests can be found on our Discord server.

Basic Installation

New users should follow this approach.

  1. Copy your current Team Fortress 2 installation to a new folder.
  2. In your copied TF2 folder, delete the tf/custom and tf/addons folders if you have them, as well as tf/cfg/autoexec.cfg, tf/cfg/config.cfg, and any class configs (such as heavyweapons.cfg or spy.cfg).
    • Do not delete the entire tf/cfg folder!
  3. Download game_clean.zip from the latest release.
  4. Unblock ZIP
    Right click on the ZIP, open Properties, and then Unblock it to speed up extraction and prevent conflicts with anti-virus software triggering false positives.
  5. Extract the downloaded ZIP to your copied TF2 folder, overwriting existing files.
  6. On your Steam Library, right click TF2, click properties then open the "Updates" tab and untick the option "Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization for TF2".
  7. Double click start_tf2.bat. Note that you must have Steam running.
  8. Enjoy!
