Hi there. Im having some fps drops everytime when theres 5-10 ppl in one place. It started a week ago after some random tf2 update. Before that i had stable 65 fps (max_fps 65) and had no drops at all. Im damn curious what may be the problem… In august i had the same problem, although i solved it by putting my laptop on some books so that fan could work properly. Im playing with my laptop put on books but its not helping now :/ I tried to reinstall tf2, put fps cfg but its no help. Would be glad if you could share your opinions what is causing these drops.

My pc is good enough. i7 2ghz, 8 gb of rams and 2gb video card.

Im thinkig it may be something with hhd not reading files fast enough as tf2 is full of shit now.

Please etf2l forums, pimp my pc!

haha. :D im using vanilla. just some connection commands. I played 2x mix today and had no fps drops. its a f*ing mistery :0

I don´t know why this happenends but I also have fps drops… with any cfg. I tried vanilla… 30 fps i tried dx9frames… 30 fps i tried maxframes… 30-40 fps… i feel like something is wrong with my computer cause every single cfg gives me the same amount of fps.

vsync on?
I had like 80 fps with Vanilla,then tried MaxFrames…and now 500 in spawn and 120/160 on mid with 12 players.

isnt it obvious? its probably overheating, check temps… if it is going over 80ish C – disassemble it and clean out dust, or get it to repair shop to do it for you if its too complex thing to do…

If you still can, give the laptop back and get your money back
then get an i5 dual core or so
they are strong enough and stay cooler
i7 quad core in laptops is just show
really
they become very fast very hot and then the cpu slows down

I’m not joking, this would be the perfect solution for your problem.

i wanted to ask if someone knows if those things works http://www.bms.lt/lt/catalog/view/?id=56741

i heard one of these works well at keeping the dust away… http://brain.pan.e-merchant.com/6/0/00779106/l_00779106.jpg only catch is you need to use it once in a while. ;)

Oh yeah could also save you taking it to the repair man, just stick the hose over the vent at the base of the latop. the dust got in that way so will come back out that way! Simples.
