Last updated: Febuary 13, 2026

Team Fortress 2 Classified uses a crash reporting service called Sentry to collect information when the game crashes. This information is used solely to diagnose, fix, and prevent technical issues.

Crash reporting is enabled by default, and you may opt out by using the -nosentry launch option. Our verbose GDPR.txt can be found here.

How Data is Processed

We process crash data under the lawful basis of legitimate interest, as defined by Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This processing is necessary to maintain the stability, security, and functionality of the game.

All collected crash data is visible, through Sentry, only to the developers of Team Fortress 2 Classified. The data is not made public and is not shared with third parties

Collected Data

Crash Backtrace

A crash backtrace is a technical record of the functions executed by the game immediately prior to a crash. This information is essential for identifying the cause of crashes and fixing software defects.

Crash backtraces may contain file paths. Any usernames contained in these paths are automatically removed by our processor to remove the risk of collecting personally identifiable information.

User Identifier

A unique user identifier, derived from your Steam ID. This identifier is hashed and salted on your device, and cannot be used to identify you as an individual.

User identifiers are generated to determine how many distinct users are affected by a particular crash.

Operating System Information

Your operating system version, such as a Windows release number or Linux kernel version.

This is collected to determine whether crashes are related to specific platforms or operating system versions.

Current Map

The name of the map running during a crash.

This helps identify crashes caused by specific maps or map behavior, particularly in cases where a backtrace alone is insufficient.

Game Version

The version of Team Fortress 2 Classified being played during a crash.

This information is used to determine which releases are affected by specific crashes, and helps verify fixes in new versions.
