Team Fortress 2, also known as TF2 is a first-person shooter game that is developed by Valve. The game has been released for quite some decades now, and that makes it one of the most played games around the world. There are millions of players playing the game worldwide and that would make it a great thing to have on Discord.
Discord allows you to play TF2 with your friends or other players online a great bliss. However, if it is not working for you, here is what you need to do.
How To Fix Discord Not Working With Team Fortress 2
1) Check Game Overlay
You will have to check Game Overlay first and that will make it work for you. The Game Overlay is a settings menu that allows Discord to enable multiple games within the Discord. So, you will need to check the optimization settings and click on the Game Overlay menu.
Here, you will need to find the Team Fortress and enable Game Overlay. If you are unable to find Team Fortress 2 here, that would mean that it is not added to the discord probably and you should have this added. This is pretty simple; all you need to do is click on the add game button that will allow you to add any game to the Game Overlay Tab including Team Fortress 2.
2) Run as Administrator
Another thing that is mostly not taken into consideration while you are attempting any such settings is that you need to run the Discord as Administrator. If you don’t have the rights to access the game or make any changes to the Discord through the account you are logged in on your PC, that will cause you to have different sorts of issues like Game Overlay not being available to you, or you will not be able to see the game that you want to add.
So, you should make sure that you are running the Discord application as an Administrator on the PC that you are using with the right credentials or have the permission to access all Discord Resources and the game that is Team Fortress 2 here. This should be enough to solve the problem and once you add the TF2 to Discord after running it as an administrator, that will make it available in the Discord and you will be able to use it without getting any sorts of problem that you were facing earlier.
3) Re-install the application
There is also a slight possibility that you might not be using the right version of Discord, or it might not have installed properly that can cause any bugs or errors within the application. So, you should be uninstalling Discord from your PC, restart the PC and then install the latest version of Discord from their website. After it is installed properly, you need to perform another restart and that will fix all the problems for good. After that, Discord will work with TF2 flawlessly and you can enjoy a seamless gaming experience.
Hello sir/madam, just after a recent fix that your team has finished due to an issue that was interfering with things such as messaging and connection, for whatever reason my discord icon will load incorrectly and would just appear as a black icon whenever I save the icon I attempt to use. However, before this issue, the icon was loading just fine. Can you please look into this issue and get back to me?
Thanks
