So you've chosen to prove your worth in the world of Team Fortress 2 Classic. Great!
It is important to note a few things before downloading:
- By downloading and installing TF2 Classic, you accept that the software provided as-is and Eminoma (the TF2 Classic development team), Valve Corporation, Steam, or other affiliated parties are not responsible for any damages (direct or indirect) caused by installation or usage of the supplied software.
- TF2 Classic runs separate from your Team Fortress installation. This means that usage of this software cannot directly impact your Team Fortress 2 game.
Step 1: Downloading
First, you'll need to choose an archive of the game.
Official downloads:
Trusted mirrors:
- Wiki mirror (.zip archive)
- TF2Classic.org mirror (.zip archive)
- Apple Shack mirror (.zip archive)
- Archive.org mirror (.zip archive)
- Torrent file
Step 2: Installing The Engine Base
To run TF2 Classic, you must have Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer installed. Skip this step if you've already already installed it.
Download:
If that link doesn't work, you can go into your Steam library and type "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer" in the search bar. Then, install it from the listing whenever it appears.
- Note: Source SDK Base 2013 has two versions. One for Multiplayer and one for Singleplayer. Ensure you've got the Multiplayer version installed, or your game will not work.
Step 3: Installing TF2 Classic
Locate your sourcemods folder. Its typical location is:
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\
Linux: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods/
After locating your sourcemods folder, you'll need to extract your download.
Your download will be either an executable file (.exe) or a ZIP archive (.zip or .7z). You can simply run the executable, but you'll need an archiver to open the ZIP archive (7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZip, etc.).
After opening your downloaded file, you will need to extract it into the sourcemods folder that you located. After this finishes, you should have a folder named tf2classic in your sourcemods folder.
- Note: If you're unsure if you've extracted the folder correctly, check that you have a
gameinfo.txtfile within yoursourcemods/tf2classicfolder.
Step 4. Running The Game
Windows: Open the tf2classic folder that you have extracted. Inside the folder, locate and run TF2ClassicLauncher.exe for a game launcher. This will also check and apply new updates.
Linux: Restart your Steam client. Team Fortress 2 Classic should have appeared as a new item in your library.
Right-click on it, click "Properties", and type -steam -steam in the launch options field, and then close the window. You can now launch the game through your Steam library.
