HUD Troubleshooting

Jason edited this page Apr 20, 2021 · 9 revisions

I can't find my Team Fortress 2 folder.

Navigate to your Steam library > right click on Team Fortress 2 > Local Files > Browse...

My game crashes after launch.

Ensure that you moved the entire budhud-master folder, not just _budhud.

The budhud-master folder should contain the files and folder shown on the Github Page, including info.vdf.

I've installed the hud correctly, but only the menu background is working.

This is likely due to a TF2 update. When there are major TF2 updates, the ui_version in info.vdf needs to be incremented by 1. If this number does not match the default game's version, the hud will not load.

I get the following error...

50d73e5d29af9927fa099a557fc14917

Ensure that all of the hud files & folders (materials, resource, scripts, info.vdf, etc) are in custom\budhud, NOT just your custom folder.

Your hud, along with every other hud I try, does not work.

Check to see if you have multiple TF2 installations. You may have TF2 on another drive, which may be causing issues.

I cannot see a player's health/name or ammo as medic (TargetIDs)

mastercomfig's "Very Low" preset disables some HUD elements. In console, set tf_hud_target_id_offset to 0 to fix.

My problem is not listed here.

Please feel free to post in the budhud Discord and someone will try to help you out!
