cant get servers to list in TF2?

[Homerboy]

So, after some time I thought I'd get in some TF2 playing time. Fired it up, and no servers listed. Checked filters and there are none on. Waited... and waited. Removed game. reinstalled. repeated. same results.

The game now crashes on startup for me. Not sure whats going on. Updates sometimes break stuff, I'm sure they'll follow up a fix.

From the desktop steam server browser I can see TF2 servers. I didn't check the in-game browser.

I had this issue recently - my MasterServers.vdf file was blank for some reason.

I followed the steps in this Steam support article and it fixed the issue for me: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1452-HCVB-6984
