Injector

Any DLL injector able to inject Amalgam into TF2 will work. Xenos or Simple-Manual-Map-Injector* are recommended.

* May not support all runtime exceptions

VAC

VAC bypass is recommended. Valve may be able to see if a VAC bypass is being used in TF2, though if you don't want to risk a VAC ban/don't know what you are doing, use one.

Game bans

It is possible to be manually game banned from TF2. This generally happens when using features that are easily visible to other players/a server demo file, like rage antiaim or using silent aim with hitscan. An abnormal amount of reports/successful votekicks may also contribute to a game ban. As mentioned here, using a VAC bypass may increase the likelihood of a game ban. If an account is empty and F2P it is likely to also be deleted; this usually appears like the account has been logged out and the profile can't load.

DLL

AVX2 may be faster than SSE2 though not all CPUs support it (Steam > Help > System Information > Processor Information > AVX2). Freetype uses freetype as the text rasterizer and includes some custom fonts, which results in better looking text but larger DLL sizes. PDBs are for developer use.

Download

Downloading is done here through nightly.link. Each time a commit is pushed, it will be automatically built and uploaded, and can be downloaded once done on GitHub's end. If nightly.link is down or can't be accessed, you can still download through GitHub with an account.

Updates

TF2 updates may break loading in some form due to the invalidation of signatures or changes to offsets. If this happens, download the latest build if it fixes it, or if no update has been pushed yet, just wait (though do let me know, I may not always be aware; please avoid duplicate issues though).

Menu

This is where the majority of control of Amalgam takes place. This includes general options, binds, indicators, etc. By default, the keys to toggle menu visibility are Insert or F3.

Files

Configs and other files are stored in ..\Team Fortress 2\Amalgam. More info here
