If you have tried to use the pre_07_25_23_demos build of tf2 after the 64-bit update, you've probably ran into this error
An error occured while launching this game : missing exectuable - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf_win64.exe

To fix this, follow these steps:

  • Make sure the pre_07_25_23_demos branch of tf2 is downloaded
  • Use ficool2's item schema addon, follow the instructions on the github page
  • Open command prompt and either cd into your Team Fortress 2 directory not the /tf/ folder, OR go into your TF2 folder, click in the file path at the top of the file explorer, and type "cmd," this will open a command prompt in your TF2 directory.
  • In the command prompt type "hl2 -game tf -insecure" along with any other launch options you would like to add (fullscreen, novid, etc) Alternatively, you can rename hl2.exe to tf_win64.exe, and put -game tf -insecure in the steam launch options, although this will download hl2.exe again

I'm having trouble doing this, is there like a video for more visual steps for it, feel like I'm doing something wrong while trying to do the item schema addon.

idk what im doin wrong, cause the game crashes after the valve intro for me

edit: never figured this out, but i used the other method of just going in offline mode on steam and doing "hl2 -game tf " in the cmd
