Well I have a whole string of commands in my advanced options, and -dxlevel 81 is one of them.

However, after the recent update, I find that my TF2 starts at DX9 instead of DX8 as directed by the command. I’ve tried reinputting the command, tried autoconfig and reset the commands, and all sorts of things, but it will not start at DX8. This gives me serious problems with performance, and it often makes me lag a bit when I have uber (NOT fps drop, but ping spike) with the results often being unpleasant.

I understand Chris can help me with this (ty Spike). Sorry if it’s not technically correct, my tech language is as terrible as my Sanskrit.

you can set dxlevel with this registry key

to set DirectX level: Win+R (or Start – Run), “regedit”, HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareValveSourcetfSettings, DXLevel_V1, second radio button. 80 is DirectX8, 81 is DX81, 90 is DX9, 95 is DX9+
