Like a lot of posters, I was surprised how badly TF2 ran on my system. I would get 120fps and then all of a sudden drop to 30 when a few enemies would come into my sight.
But it wasn’t always like this; in fact, about a month ago everything ran fine, so I decided to investigate what changes had been made in my computer since then. And after hours of searching, I found the culprit:
A bad realtek lan driver from windows update. I went to my motherboard company’s website and downloaded the official lan driver for my motherboard, and since then my FPS has been fine. No more choppiness or suddenly dropping to 10FPS in a fire fight.
So if you’re having a performance problem and have a realtek lan chip (which most motherboards use) then I suggest you do what I did and see if it helps.
Might help some people who have FPS issues.
This may apply to me since I’ve been having some recent issues.. I thought it was the TF2 update, but this could also make sense. I’ve updated with my motherboard manufacturer’s drivers so we’ll see if it helps any. Thanks for posting! :>
