As announced in a previous blog post, update 2.1.3 will mark the end of Linux client support. We will instead pivot towards supporting Proton (also known as Steam Play), Valve's compatibility layer for Windows games running on Linux, and focus on fixing any bugs that manifest with it. Proton's Vulkan-based backend renderer, DXVK, should have better performance and fewer issues for Linux users.

This wiki page serves as a guide on how to migrate to Proton to continue playing.

Enabling Proton

Step 1: Locate Team Fortress 2 Classic in your Steam library, right-click, and go to Properties

Step 2: Select the Compatibility tab, and enable Steam Play


  • We typically recommend selecting the latest version of Proton available.
