  3. IMPORTANT! Put both injector and cheat into tf2's prefix. Path:/home/<your username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/440/pfx/drive_c/

Running on windows

Linux fork runs on windows flawlessly! Any injector can be used, but Xenos is the best one

Injecting on BSD

Because BSD doesnt have native protontricks and steam, using steam/tf2 in WINE is the only option. Steps would probably be like this:

  1. Download this injector and put it in drive_c folder in .wine

  2. Install steam using winetricks gui, then install tf2

  3. Run tf2 and wine cmd (using winetricks)

  4. Inject: <injector name> <cheat name> tf_win64.exe

  5. Enable Insecure dialog bypass option

I dont use BSD, so i could have made some mistakes in this part of guide
