Team Fortress 2 is suffering from huge numbers of automated players on its servers that are ruining the game for legitimate users. According to IGN, bots will post endless spam in chat, snipe other players with unflinching accuracy, and even crash servers entirely.

Tf2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things.

Fans converged around the # savetf2 hashtag in an attempt to get a response from Valve.’TF2 is in an unplayable state,’ a Reddit post organizing the protest reads.

The game was patched in mid-202020 to help with the issues, followed by more measures the following year. Today’s Tweet from the official team Fortress 2 Twitter account was its first in almost two years.

Team Fortress 2 has been one of the most popular games on Steam. It’s the sixth most played game on the service, with over 70,000 concurrent players. It is above other popular titles like Grand Theft Auto V, destiny 2, and FIFA 22.
