verify your game integrity with steam and try again because you just broke your tf2 install for things like this

Do you have studiomdl.exe and vpk.exe in your Team Fortress 2/bin folder? (not your tf/bin folder)

I just realized I prefixed the longest post in this thread with "tldr"

I don't think autoreload is included, but fastswitch definitely is.

you need to select Team Fortress 2, not TF.

tldr when you use windowed borderless, DWM is handling your game being drawn on your screen, which is the desktop compositor. it waits for every other application (even if there are none) before pushing a frame, and there's always a bit of overhead as it re-renders the frame before displaying it. this causes inherent input lag, but the amount varies from system to system, and for some combinations of people/systems, it isn't noticeable.

in theory you should not have a lower framerate, in reality you might slightly because the GPU prioritizes your application slightly less since it's also rendering DWM's re-render while still trying to render the game. the input lag is the noticeable part though, and unfortunately it's kind of hard to measure.

turbo boost only enables if your cooling can handle it and if the performance is actually needed - it's not going to turbo if you're only hitting 20% CPU load. also I think you have to enable high performance mode in the Windows power settings.

toolchain update mayb?

u could have also just asked saam

Having managed around 300 or so Windows 10 installs through work, it's possible you've never run into it, but it sure as hell happens. Mainly with machines that were upgraded - I don't think I've ever seen it happen on a Windows 10 install that started as Win10.

ever try Magners?

the game has updated a lot in five years, even if it doesn't feel like it. commands that were relevant or behaved differently in chris' time no longer function the same way, perform the same action, or just totally break everything because of regressions.

windows 10 has been pretty notorious for pushing updates that completely break the system depending on the prior system configuration. microsoft has been really bad about bugtesting their shit before forcing it on every user

Yikes

just a note to everyone, if suddenly your logs stop working, first check your loaded plugins with

rcon sm plugins list

and if LogsTF Uploader doesn't show up in that list, check your tf/addons/sourcemod/logs folder and if you see the following line:

[SM] Unable to load extension "curl.ext": /tf/addons/sourcemod/extensions/curl.ext.so: undefined symbol: _ZNSs9_M_mutateEjjj

then replace your /tf/addons/sourcemod/extensions/curl.ext.so with this version:

this just started happening for me within the last week after not touching my server for a month so I have a feeling I might not be the only one, it might be caused by the toolchain update
