Quickplay is an automated game finding system in Team Fortress 2. It lets players leave finding a server to the computer.
Using quickplay
Quickplay is accessed from the main menu of the game. The button "Start Playing" will open the quickplay dialog.
The quickplay dialog allows the player to specify roughly what they are looking for by selecting the game mode they want to play.
Additionally, there is the option to filter based on who runs the server, Valve and/or the community.
Finally, there is the option to select to play community maps from the workshop as well as beta maps.
The quickplay algorithm
Valve have not officially documented the exact game finding algorithm. But they have noted that it involves servers building up a reputation from how long players are connected to them on average. In general it tries to match players with other players, favoring servers with people on it.
Requirements
Servers have to satisfy several requirements in order to qualify for quickplay.
sv_cheats
must be off.- The map must be one of the approved quickplay maps.
- Friendly fire must be disabled.
- Random crits must be enabled.
- The
maxplayers
setting must be 24, the default setting. 32 always makes the server ineligible, while values in between apply a gradual penalty. - The server must have a registered server account.
- Highlander mode must be disabled
- VAC must be enabled
- The server must not require a password.
