Team Fortress 2 Tips

Solution for crash on Tab, death or game-end with high-resolutions

If you are like me and running into crashes above 1280X960 whenever the scoreboard comes up, you can solve this problem easily:
1. Download and run GCFExplorer(seems to run fine on Wine; haven't tried on CX)
2. Open "*Steam DIR*/steamapps/team fortress 2 content.gcf"
3. Navigate into the "/tf/resource/" directory and extract "ClientScheme.res" to "*Steam DIR*/steamapps/*NAME*/team fortress 2/tf/resource/ClientScheme.res"
4. Open the extracted file in your favorite text editor
5. search for "ScoreboardTeamScore", and change all 5 of the:
"name"    "TF2"
lines to:
"name"    "Verdana"
6. Repeat the above step for "HudFontGiant".

If this does not fix your problem, go back and replace -all- instances of "TF2", "TF2 Secondary", "TF2 Professor", and "TF2 Build" with "Verdana".
Also, look for any large sizes("tall" variable) and make them <48. If this doesn't fix your problem, the problem lies somewhere else.
