Hey guys,
So yesterday i reinstalled my windows xp, installed steam and team fortress 2.
When i run tf2 it starts with the intro vid where is the head and then the game just turns off.
I put -dxlevel 95 in the launch options, ok now it works, but that’s fucked up, because then each time i have to put the resolution settings and shit to be ready to play.
Before reinstalling my windows never had problems like these and I don’t have a wooden pc.

btw, left 4 dead 2 runs with no problems.

problem solved.

You have two options of using this, which is listed here:

* Put -dxlevel 81 in your command line
* Run the game
* Close the game after it is loaded
* Remove the parameter

Or the second option:

* Put -dxlevel 81 in your command line
* Also specify -w XXXX and -h XXX for your screen resolution
* Leave in there permanently
