I've had this issue for a few months now where my game crashes as it's launching. The next time I launch it, it reverts to dx9 (I'm using dx8 normally) and 1280x720 (the lowest 16:9 resolution in the tf2 menu). It was happening while I was using some old mastercomfig from 2017. I finally decided to update to the latest one today but the crashes came back (I -autoconfig'd the game between cfg swaps). I don't have any weird launch options, just the mastercomfig recommended ones and no weird custom stuff (hud+cfg+nohats)
The crashes happen several times a day (I open and close my game a fair bit) so it's fairly annoying because I have to reset to dx8 every time (the crashes happen even if I'm on dx9, the only thing different for dx8 is that if it crashes on dx8 it resets to dx9). Any ideas on what to do? Tried verifying the game files and all that

My best advice would be to update your video drivers. But I don't know what else to say.

Did you remove the dxlevel from the launch options after starting it? Because I had the same when I use dx 90/98 and once I removed it and restarted the game it didn't crash

Yeah, i don't keep it in the launch options
I removed -high from the launch options last night, haven't had a crash since however it might be a lucky spell. Hopefully it's a permanent fix though

Also, I just checked and they're up to date
