EDIT: they were never non-private

also, someone got the thumbnails http://www.valvetime.net/threads/thumbnails-of-new-private-team-fortress-2-videos.257895/

Those aren't errors, those are me forcing values for cheat console variables using dxsupport overrides.

Try using mat_dxlevel then mat_savechanges.

Glad you got it working better. However, I wouldn't recommend net_compresspackets 0, since I believe splitpackets are more CPU intensive than packet compression. Also, I would recommend doing config changes in a new config file exec'd after comfig so that you can easily update the comfig file, and so that you can easily share your own "preset" for others to use.

All of those should help. The less things the engine has to render, the better your performance will be. The biggest performance hindrances are particles and player models/animations so focus on getting those kinds of mods.

4.4.9 enables host_thread_mode by default again.

This command improves FPS by a lot, and I had it enabled by default before but then disabled it due to people asking for help with their local servers, which host_thread_mode 1 breaks.

I've decided that it is best to keep it on because the majority of people probably wouldn't remember to turn host_thread_mode on, but will remember to turn it off if they're in a local server that isn't working.

You may want to use the maxperf preset with the dxsupport_override to help with FPS issues. You may also want to try the -nouserclip launch option. However, I'm assuming this is an integrated graphics card so there's not much we can do for frames.

As for the mouse lag, are you using raw input?

Perhaps try without the -full -w 800 -h 600 -refresh 144 launch options and set your preferred resolution from the video options menu.

4.4.8 released with some minor tweaks to net settings and occlusion.

pyro update (GONE SPOOPY)

Try these launch options

-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores -high -r_emulate_gl

Any reason you use windowed mode?

Delete everything in your tf/cfg folder, delete all configs you may have in tf/custom, edit all cfgs you have in Steam/userdata/<USER_ID>/440/remote/cfg to be blank, then verify game files.

Finally, launch the game with only the -default -autoconfig -console launch options. In console, enter host_writeconfig; mat_savechanges. Quit the game and then remove the launch options.

Hm, wasn't able to find it in the code at first, sorry.

What folder did you install it in and what were your launch options when you tried my config?

mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware should be 0.

If that doesn't work, a workaround that reduces performance is mat_mipmaptextures 0

Ok, thanks for the testing.

Don't use the -NoQueuedPacketThread launch option with anything but net_queued_packet_thread 0.

DX9 can give better FPS, except if you have a very lowend or old GPU.

Not sure what you mean by outdated, they still work

Doesn't exist

Sorry to hear that! Did you properly reset TF2 and install it in the correct folder with the specified launch options? and what preset did you use?
