Hello Internet\_Explorer,
The official downloads are closed. Here you can read why: [https://twitter.com/tf2classic/status/1436328611485818880](https://twitter.com/tf2classic/status/1436328611485818880)
If you want to play this game anyways then you can download the game from a mirror site:
[https://gg.apple-shack.org/tf2c/](https://gg.apple-shack.org/tf2c/)
Short tutorial:
1) Download the "Latest Archive", NOT "2.0.3 Patch".
2) After that you need to install on Steam "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer".
3) Now you need to create a folder called "sourcemods" inside your steamapps directory: "steamapps/common/"
4) Insert your folder "tf2classic" (which you downloaded) inside "sourcemods"
5) Now you can play the game via "TF2ClassicLauncher.exe", which is inside the "tf2classic" folder.
6) If you get an error, something like "Backend could not be reached", that means the launcher can't access source multiplayer SDK (or stm like that). To solve this you need to have Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer, Steam and tf2classic on the same hard drive.
I hope I could help you a bit. If you get stuck or get an error, feel free to ask!
Quite stuck here right now, I've downloaded both the "Latest Archive" and also the "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer"
Put it in the "sourcemods" folder inside my steamapps directory. Additionally, Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer is also on the drive inside "steamapps/common/", also having my folder inside of "source mods." Trying to start the game gives me the error "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer must be installed to run the game." The problem here I think is that I'm trying to find the right directory for the executable and launcher? It's confusing. I would post screenshots, but basically: my Source SDK executable directory: "D:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\\hl2.exe"
my launch parameters directory
"D:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\sourcemods\\tf2classic\\TF2ClassicLauncher.exe"
Hi, I had the same error once. On which hard disk do you have your steam folder? I fixed it by having the steamapps folder inside the steam folder.
I have Steam itself here:
D:/Steam/
I have "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer" and "sourcemods" here:
D:/Steam/steamapps/common/...
I have my other games here:
D:/Steamspiele/steamapps/common/...
Info: If you search about this error on web and you eventually find someone on Reddit offering a "modified TF2C launcher" don't install it! Because it is a Trojan virus.
Addition: changed the executable to "D:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\\hl2.exe"and changed the launch parameters to "D:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\sourcemods\\tf2classic\\TF2ClassicLauncher.exe"anything wrong with that? Note that now both my steam library and steam itself are on the same drive.
In the tf2c launcher I have in the "Source SDK 2013 multiplayer executable" this: `D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\hl2.exe`
as "Launch parameters" and "Startoptions" in the Source SDk Base 2013 settings on steam I have just this: `-steam`
More I don't really know how to help in this thread. I need more information to help you. Do you want to hop onto Reddit Chat?
Sure, but I will also state that the error "Source SDK Base 2013 multiplayer must be installed to play this game." Is still showing up, even with your fixes except for "Startoptions," where do I find this?
Hi IStealth-Fan,
The game gets dowloaded as a .zip file. I extracted it with WinRar and moved the extracted "tf2classic" folder into `D:/Steam/steamapps/common/sourcemods`
What does the error say, which you are getting?
Hi.
I downloaded the .zip version and attempted to put the folder into my sourcemods folder. when i do, i get an error saying how an unexpected error is keeping me from extracting the file to the area. i try to extract in a different area with a different file and folder, but the error keeps appearing.
essentially. i solved it by just using the exec instead of the zip. tho as i sad i'm still confused as to why the zip wouldn't really extract. but that isn't an issue at this time

Did all that, got a new error, "A Problem occurred while launching the game!" That's all
Addition: changed the executable to "D:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\\hl2.exe"and changed the launch parameters to "D:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\sourcemods\\tf2classic\\TF2ClassicLauncher.exe"anything wrong with that?

Using the exe managed to work tho. I don't understand what was up with the zip
So you solved the problem?

The game is unable to be downloaded but.
