Temporary Solution for TF2 Bot Problem

1. Create a banned_ip.cfg file Navigate to your game's cfg directory (tf/cfg/) and create a new file named banned_ip.cfg. 2. Add the ban commands Open the file and enter the following: addip 0 169.254 writeip Note: addip 0 sets a permanent ban on the 169.254.0.0/16 IP range, and writeip ensures the ban list is saved to your configuration folder. 3. Test in-game Launch the game and open the Developer Console (usually the ~ key). Type: listip If successful, you will see output similar to this: text IP filter list: 2 entries 1 169.254.248. 1 : permanent 2 169.254. 0. 0 : permanent How to find a specific IP: If you are unsure of a player's IP address, type status in the console to view the Server Connection Details, which lists the IP and SteamID of everyone currently in the server. Please note that some players may also use this IP address. View and Remove IPs // 1. View the current blocked list listip // 2.
