After the update today,I tried to start tf2 and it gives me the message preparing to start tf2 like it always does in the gray box. However after the messages disappears then it says that I am no longer in tf2 and it does nothing. I tried restarting tf2 and nothing happened. Does anyone know what to do?

I had the issue with Steam continuously searching for updates when I opened TF2, but I went offline and back online on steam and it is now fixed.

So I just restarted my computer and I am getting a new popup when trying to start up tf2 saying "Scanning for Steam games updates..."

Edit: Just went offline and back online and nothing happened.

Widespread issue with XP/server 2003 involving kernel32.dll which has both clients and server ops complaining everywhere. TF2 doesn't have a previous version branch unlike CS:GO's, so the only thing you can really do at this point is poke Valve and wait.

I'm on Windows 7, and TF2 (and I guess Steam) decided not to communicate with the VAC servers. At first I thought P-REC was suddenly unsigned, as it was saying it was. After removing it, it was still saying that I couldn't browse for servers (Steam Beta must be running message). I restarted Steam, and now it's fine, and P-REC is fine.

Just wanted to put this here in case someone else had the same problem (rays did earlier).

P-REC IS NOT BROKEN.
