"tf/cfg" Folder recognized, but "tf" isn't

[Shukaro]

Today, I opened HLDJ and found that "tf2" was no longer in my list of games, I tried re-adding it using both the "add a game" and "add all game" options, but it would not recognize "team fortress 2/tf" as a valid game directory. However, when using the "add all games option", it adds the "team fortress 2/tf/cfg" folder. When attempting to launch "cfg", I get an error message "could not launch game application". Additionally, HLDJ reports that the engine for "cfg" is "goldsrc". After a launch attempt, the play button will change to the stop button.

Deleting the "settings.hldj" file as well as all hldj files in the tf/cfg directory and attempting to readd the "tf" folder did nothing. Deleting the hldj folder, redownloading it, and setting it up again, also did nothing.

I am using the script pack here if that makes any difference.

Please read the stickies:

Game: Source-based games (i.e. CS:S, TF2, etc.)

Issue #3: Cannot find game directory, or it is invalid (gameinfo.txt missing).

Severity: Low

Status: Workaround found

Solution: Start the game at least once more and then re-add it in HLDJ Setup.

Info:
Occasionally, Steam will remove gameinfo.txt (i.e. after an update or re-install) without unpacking it again from the Steam filesystem until the game has been started. This file is critical in order for HLDJ to recognize the Source game properly.

Thanks, that did the trick, just didn't see that in the list of confirmed bugs.

Sorry I thought this was in the Help section.

**Moved - not an HLDJ bug.
