PC specs ?
Are you using fps configs? dx81 ? Clean your PC from useless programms.
Try running hl2.exe and steam.exe @ high priority in the task manager.

Same here. Maxfps, DX8 Specs: AMD FX 4100 Black Edition, Corsair VENGEANCE 2×4 GB, GIGABYTE R685OC-1GD. Had at least 200 fps on mid, now 90.

it will happen after every update until the min req to run tf2 is higher than Crysis

If you don´t mind downloading 6-7 GB then backup your settings/cfgs/hud and delete the tf folder (“Steam/Steamapps/[account]/team fortress 2/tf/”). This should get you some lost fps back.

Apparently big updates mess with the tf folder and steal you 20-30 fps per update (+the usual performance issues with every update) if you don´t download the whole folder at once.

Tell us if it helped.
