Only dumps for certain steam and tf2 libraries are caught and put there.

A solution to get all dumps is:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
2. Create a new key called 'LocalDumps'
3. Your crash dumps will be here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps

I'm not sure what you'll be planning on using them for since you can't really debug anything with them. The dumps are for the devs.
