Specifically, the failure occurred due to using a custom HUD that imitated the characteristics of Half-Life 2
Although it is a classic with 17 years behind it, Team Fortress 2 has been on everyone’s lips in recent days thanks to a surprise from Valve. Specifically, Steam owners have introduced an exciting “minor update” which adds the expected 64-bit architecture support. However, and as is natural with this type of situation, the patch has caused some additional problems to appear in the experience. And one of them made the players suffered crashes because the shooter saw them as Gordon Freeman from Half-Life.
To be more specific, the failure occurred due to use a custom HUD that imitated the characteristics of Half-Life 2. To make this change, the HUD itself assumed that the player was not using any of the available Team Fortress 2 characters, but instead controlled the protagonist of the game from which it came, Gordon Freeman. Therefore, the general system collapsed and ended up causing an unexpected crash.
But Valve has taken care of correct this error relatively quickly. Because, days after launching the update that we mentioned at the beginning of the text, the team has surprised with https://twitter.com/DidTF2GetUpdate/status/1782529052219408682 which includes the following fix: “Fixed a crash on 64-bit systems caused by some custom HUDs using elements from the Half-Life 2 HUD that assume the player is Gordon Freeman.”
Players celebrate the new patch
As expected, players have been quick to react with jokes and joy to Valve’s new patch. In this sense, there are those who write in X that “Gordon Freeman is canon in the universe of the Team Fortress 2 update” (Testsubject276) and others who remember the true internal nature of the shooter saying that “Just when you thought the [código] Source spaghetti I couldn’t come up with more surprises…” (YukiHatasashi). Be that as it may, it is clear that the community is happy with the latest changes to the game.
