When I launch TF2 the loading screen shows up and then nothing else will display but the game runs as normal. I can do literally everything a normal TF2 game can do (quit out, flip the casual level coin, queue for a game). Nothing I've tried has fixed this. Please help!
I've tried:
- Verify TF2 files
- Restarting computer
- Completely reinstall TF2 (delete steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2)
- Restarting Steam
- Switching out of the steam beta
- Check for new GPU drivers
- Reinstall GPU driver
- Defrag TF2
- Reinstall mastercomfig
- Switch out HUD
- Stop GPU overclock
- Stop CPU overclock
- Defrag registry
- Disable Steam Overlay
- Run a maintenance check
- Limit the amount of other programs running
- Get rid of launch options' commands
- Use "-autoconfig" and "-default" in launch options
- Use "-sw" in launch options
- Checked SSD SMART status
System:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz 6/6
RAM: 16 GB
Hard disk: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB (931.5 GB/Fixed hard disk media)
Graphics card1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (3 GB)
Weird shit:
I downloaded l4d2 to see if it was an hl2 problem. l4d2 worked normally and then when I booted up TF2 it worked normally too. I have no idea why. Maybe any hl2-based game could work? The next morning TF2 went back to having the same issues.
! ! ! FIX ! ! !
Perform a clean boot (https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/steam-keeps-crashing-solved/)
More specifically, NVIDIA GeForce was the thing I had to not let startup.

I have now. Unfortunately it doesn't help. Although this time the loading screen gets replaced with a solid black screen after a second. Everything is still the same though.

It is a bit excessive but you could try uninstalling steam and deleting Program Files (x86)\Steam
