first things first, i install my steam games in a different directory, here: https://i.imgur.com/vY0keka.png
my autoexec file is saved here: https://i.imgur.com/YjrUSrC.png
the contents of my autoexec file: https://i.imgur.com/0eLUEhM.png
I don't know if any of this info is relevant but I just want to provide as much as I can hoping someone can help.
My problem: as I play tf2 my autoexec file 'unexecs' itself and I have to constantly re exec it. I can't pin it down to the exact cause. It isn't shift tabbing or alt tabbing or opening my discord overlay, although I certainly do notice it after doing these things *sometimes*. Has anyone else ever encountered this or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
To be as specific as possible, I only notice this is happening whenever certain binds that are in my binds exec aren't working, which would imply that it is my binds exec that is somehow getting unexec'd as opposed to my autoexec. Is there a way to tell which cfg's are exec'd and which are not?

Can you confirm whether or not it's class changes that causes this? A likely cause would be one of your class cfg's changing settings and not getting changed back by the other class cfg's (if it meant to change in the first place).

Just tried it and changing to every class didnt seem to trigger it

Not a real solution but I'd suggest having a cfg file that gets executed every time you change class, so binds get reset but the graphics don't need to be re-exec'd.

I had the same problem and this wound up being my solution. I just had "exec cfg" at the top of every class config and it worked. Eventually I totally cleaned my install and after I'd put everything back together I no longer needed that workaround, but at the time it was the only solution I could find.

try removing any -w, -h or -dxlevel commands from your launch options

okay thanks for the help! i wound up resolving it. For some reason cfg.tf created several different cfg type files that were interfering with one another in some way i cant necessarily explain. i just simplified things and combined everything i wanted into my autoexec and config file. thank you for reaching out!
