No longer will you try to find idling servers, as this requires no such thing!
This is an extremely simple way to idle when AFK or when you want to something else on the computer without tf2 actively running. Follow these simple steps and enjoy your effortless drops!
- Open Steam and Navigate to your Library Page.
- Find Team Fortress 2 and Right click on it.
- Select Properties
- In the window that appears, click "Set launch options..."
- In the textbox in the window that appears, paste the code below.
- Click Ok, followed by Close.
- Launch TF2, and go do whatever you want.
- ???????
- PROFIT
-textmode -nosound -noipx -novid -nopreload -nojoy -sw -maxplayers 2 +sv_lan 1 +map "itemtest"
The code launches tf2 in textmode(-textmode), disables sound, IPX support, video, preloading, and joystick. Starts in a window(-sw) and starts a local server on your computer.
Note: Although this doesn't require you to join any servers, you still need have an internet connection for this to work.
If you have any questions or require help, feel free to ask me.
Enjoy idling!
