#17 How to get the max FPS in tf2 in Q/A Help

hey jakalighting i was inspired by u so i made my own fps guide by quoting u here is my fps guide it is quoted but it is mine thank u for reading

Jakalightning!WARNING! - Will make TF2 look significantly worse depending on how much FPS you want-

-This Guide is to show how YOU can get the MAX FPS possible in this game (without breaking it)
-Enjoy!

FPS WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS IN TF2: 18-40 FPS (21 average)
FPS WITH THESE SETTINGS AND MODS: 36-117 FPS (60+ average)

---------------------------
ALL Works in SV_PURE 2 (official Valve Servers)
---------------------------

LAUNCH CODE OPTIONS

To go to Launch code options :
(go to steam> library> right click on Team Fortress 2> Properties> Set Launch code options)

Most people already know what these are. But for those who don't, these are just commands that are executed before the game is launched

For max FPS (copy these down into "launch code options")
-dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HIEGHT -nod3d9ex

change -w WIDTH to your screen res width
change -h HEIGHT to your screen res height
*Example of mine is -w 1366 -h 786

remove -dxlevel 81 from launch code options after launching the game once.
*i will not use -high since it may cause overheat*

CONFIGS

-FPS configs are files that contain commands that will help your FPS by lowering settings. These settings will help it easier for your computer to handle. Hens, giving you more FPS

-Quick note: I will not include Chris' Configs because half of the commands are outdated

RECOMMENDED CONFIG:
--------------------------
Comanglia's FPS Config- http://www.teamfortress.tv/25328/comanglia-s-config-fps-guide
--------------------------
This config is used by most competitive people who want more FPS. I would recommend changing these settings : mat_filterlightmaps 1 to mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_trilinear 1 to mat_trilinear 0
mat_specular 1 to mat_specular 0
mat_viewportscale 1 to mat_viewportscale 0.8
-------------------------
R4NDOM's FPS config- https://www.dropbox.com/s/orhw78x73pw50nt/r4ndom_graphical.txt?dl=0
------------------------
Another good FPS config: doesn't give as much FPS as Comanglias, but looks better for some

:HOW TO INSTALL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ_2QIaJCK0

MODS/SCRIPTS

-This is the part that will decide how much FPS you really want- I recommend install all if you have a bad computer

------------------------
Harbls No Hat's Mod
https://teamfortress.tv/thread/16179/no-hats-mod
------------------------
(put in custom folder)
-Removes All hats in the game (may leave newer hats in; but only a handfull) This can increase your FPS by 5-20; neither the less, it is guaranteed to increase FPS

------------------------
No Hat's Mod Particle Effects remover (Very Few Unusual Effects remain)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92187841/Nohat-effects.vpk
-----------------------
(put in custom folder)
-removes unusual effects. Works very well with Nohats mod! This will increase your FPS by around 1-4. Garaunteed to increase FPS

-----------------------
Remove Bullet Hole Dust
http://drok-radnik.com/junk/surfaceproperties.txt
-----------------------
(tf> custom> my_custom_stuff> scripts: make a new text document called "surfaceproperties")
-Removes Dust that are in bullet holes (useful in spammy situations)

----------------------
No explosion smoke script
https://mega.nz/#!cxYWGQbD!cDx_flldisJ7bErs-vZQ5StS9NlM3GBoYq0DAukNQZM
---------------------
(put in custom folder)
-Makes explosions more simplified. I've come across many and this is the best one for FPS. Very effective with spammy situations!
*I absolutely love this mod!

HUDS

-some hud elements can take up FPS. Mostly from crosshairs- i recommend default crosshairs that are already in TF2
-fps counters can also decrease FPS. Net_graph x and cl_showfps x can decrease FPS by 2 or 3. disable these unless you really want to see your FPS.

HUDS ITSELF

-there many HUDS out there! the good ones are found in huds.tf
-most huds shouldn't effect FPS. So these don't really matter in most cases.

My hud right now is EVE HUD. Very simple, beautiful HUD
http://gamebanana.com/guis/download/25711
(put in custom folder)

WINDOWS SETTINGS (mac users can try to follow, but i don't use a mac)

-----------------------
Adjust Visual effects of windows to "Best Performance" http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-adjust-visual-settings-windows-7-best-performance.htm
-----------------------
-nothing much to say here.. just saves more memory.

!THATS IT!
-Hope this guide helped you! give me feedback. :)

My laptop specs
Dell Inspiron 1440
intel graphics chipset family 2.2 Ghz
4GB RAM

Nothing special

Thank you for reading this guide! hope you liked it!

Props to comanglia! this whole thing was inspired by it

#33 How do you study? in Off Topic
MarxistThe other thing I did was use vick's vapor rub. So while you study, slather a bit of that menthol scented junk on one of your arms (I use my non-writing hand). Then, before you show up to take your exam, put a bit more of the vapor rub on your arm - hopefully your brain has built of a significant association between the vapor rub and the information you were studying the night before. Sometimes I could even remember exactly what was written on my pre-exam sheets that I'd write out.

wtf LOL

#9 Playing on a team with an iffy schedule in Off Topic
Elepimpjoshuawnsnipthanks for the advice. Im definitely not considering quiting hockey im definitely going to be playing as long as possible, I was just trying to see if people thought if i should try to play tf2 with my hockey schedule being conflicted with normal tf2 scrim and match times or is I should just wait until next season when hockey is over.

since you care about hockey, i wouldn't if i were you.

#26 How do you study? in Off Topic

i'm pretty lax about studying for finals.

i try to reconstruct most of my courses' materials from well-established sets of atomic facts to minimize the amount i have to memorize. during this process, i'll identify the most abstract concepts from each course and construct a memory palace (or, more trivially but less effectively, use mnemonics) to memorize sequential processes (i.e. mathematical algorithms, historical timelines, interactions between objects, etc.) that haven't already been ingrained &/or cannot be trivially decomposed (usually because they're pedagogically local in scope).

#7 Playing on a team with an iffy schedule in Off Topic

video games can be played at any age. on the other hand, your chances to play hockey seriously will most certainly decline substantially as you grow older & have more real-life commitments to manage. and since it's an actual physical sport, you may completely miss out if you don't commit while you're still (relatively) young.

if you care about hockey, then just focus on your real-life well-being & prioritize hockey as your main hobby. being distracted by two competitive hobbies simultaneously is just going to divide up your attention unnecessarily & inhibit your potential.

if you never planned on taking hockey seriously, then you need to realistically consider whether your attitude aligns with the expectations of your hockey team & your prospective tf2 team.

most importantly, don't stress yourself out just to make an "iffy schedule" work.

#34 Why would anyone use 4:3 stretched in TF2? in Q/A Help

a bit off-topic, but when ratz instagib had somewhat of a stable population, the best player i knew on that game pounded hard on ~50 fov

and then you have people playing with rawinput 0 on tf2 that are natural slayers

THIS WORLD ISN'T LOGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#59 Dr. Jordan Peterson Debate in World Events
CoYoTejoshuawni doubt the sentiments of a bunch of underperforming college undergraduates that live in a bubble & either inevitably drop out or barely get their degree will have widespread consequences, but i understand your frustration. it is definitely annoying to see people of my own generation suckered into it.
These people are becoming: primary and secondary school teachers, journalists, media personalities, political activists, politicians etc.

Schools in NY were making their 6-11 year old white kids feel like bad people just because they are white whilst giving the "ethnic" ones special privileges and free cake/whatever just because they are "ethnic".

This stuff will not be confined to a little bubble. Ideas spread, very quickly.

i think conflating issues regarding implicit identity with those of racism is not only dangerous, but entirely fallacious.

activism against racism and sexism (namely feminism) deal with biases and discrimination against factors of identity that cannot be readily hidden when engaging in discourse. in other words, these forms of activism are concerned about why discourse over non-identity topics are inhibited due to external factors that are readily visible to every participant. this overview is meant to be obvious; these forms of activism need to be rigorously defined so that we can tackle the propriety of activism of preferred pronouns.

unlike skin color & gender, implicit identity, such as "preferred pronouns" and "sexuality", needs to be explicitly introduced into discourse for participants to be aware of it. as long as the laws classifying the acts of discrimination are very narrow and clear (i.e. explicitly harassing someone for identifying, or for assuming they identify, as gay, straight, or feeling empowered by being referred to in a neutral manner), then what goodboy said on the first page is fine.

yet, professional academics and psychologists are still observably arguing over the propriety of the recently instituted discrimination laws, and it's most certainly not because they're bigoted nor because they're trying to dehumanize people (why the fuck would you pursue a PHD if you didn't care about society???). the laws in contention clearly weren't well-vetted nor rigorously peer-reviewed by psychologists; these laws were arguably enacted as a knee-jerk response to a poorly detailed problem. thus, the factors that constitute discrimination against implicit identity must be reevaluated as neutrally & unemotionally as possible.

vagueness in discrimination laws allow those with malicious intentions to derail conversations and/or to force participants to beat around the bush by establishing their implicit identities before being productive (just look at how fucking long the initial speakers took in OP's video before any actual arguments were made). thus, professional academics like Dr. Peterson aren't trying to disrespect those who have unique personality and identity traits (who doesn't???). instead, they're trying to argue that everyone's rights can be secured by keeping identity-related topics separated from non-identity topics.

in conclusion, fuck your & everyone else's implicit identity. we're all going to die. stop caring so much about your stupid individual existence. i don't care if you like dicks; major in math so i can give an iota of a fuck about you. FUCK.

#55 Dr. Jordan Peterson Debate in World Events
CoYoTejoshuawnthankfully, i don't have to deal with these kinds of retards on a regular basis because my life doesn't revolve around social psychology & liberal arts. i give no fucks about anyone's identity unless it impedes the flow of our discussion (in which case i'll most definitely be an asshole).
What happens in University's happens everywhere else 5 years later.
In a few years this shit, if it goes unchallenged will impede on whatever it is you do. These ideas aren't going to be confined to social psychology & liberal arts for much longer.

Remember when MTV used to be about being an edgy rebellious teen? Now it goes on about how all their white viewers are inherently racist and says that white people have "white fragility" when it comes to talking about race.

i doubt the sentiments of a bunch of underperforming college undergraduates living in an ideological bubble who will either drop out or barely get their associates/bachelors will have widespread consequences, but i understand your frustration. i definitely get annoyed when i see my peers suckered into these sort of debates instead of being productive.

#51 Dr. Jordan Peterson Debate in World Events

the main issue i have with legally enforced preferred pronouns is the possibility that you can be brought to court for discrimination because you withdrew from discourse with someone who cares more about establishing their identity than the original topics brought to the table which had nothing to do with identity in the first place (i.e. any topics that don't revolve around themselves). i think dr. peterson brings up this threat of runaway ideological totalitarianism when he first speaks in OP's video.

thankfully, i don't have to deal with these kinds of retards on a regular basis because my life doesn't revolve around social psychology & liberal arts. i give no fucks about anyone's identity unless it impedes the flow of our discussion (in which case i'll most definitely be an asshole).
