Hey!
I just re-installed windows and I am currently running tf2 with the same settings and cfg (chris max fps) as prior to OS installation.
Updated graphics drivers etc I’m not running the game in windowed mode, I havn’t had the need to since the previously mentioned update.
Problem 1:
My game takes AGES to tab up, it’s between 10-15 sec of black screen before the game becomes visible again. It used be like this back in 2010…
Problem 2:
Explosions now leave some grayish trail, annoying.
Problem 3:
My sound quality is set to low by default even if I change it in-game. No clue what it’s called in the cfg. DO YOU KNOW?
I’ll give you a copy of Garry’s Mod or some random indie game (your choice) If you can help me solve these problems.
for problem #1 if you are using the -dxlevel 80/81/90-95 in your launch options, remove it

for problem #1 if you are using the -dxlevel 80/81/90-95 in your launch options, remove it
not using it (used it for first time launch only)
For problem 3:
Setting sound quality on low is actually better, if I’m not mistaken?
“// Sound
// —————————————————————————-
// I’d be hesitant to say that you would see a great deal of performance
// improvement from lowering the sound quality, but in my experience as a
// competitive TF2 player, lowering the sound quality makes determination of
// directionality and distance that much easier. You may see a small FPS gain
// with these settings, or you may not, either way will likely have a
// negligible effect on performance.”
>from Chris’ config.
I’m all about that ear candy
For your first problem I’m pretty sure you need to run the game in windowed mode.
-dxlevel 81 -sw -noborder -w 1680 -h 1050 -console -novid -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd
change to your screen resolution.
If you only run it in windowed mode, there will be around 30ms of lag with the mouse/keyboard input. You have to do this with the hl2.exe:
