Team Fortress 2

Id stick with the WU version then.

Mine works alright, just about decent enough to play.
It's really smooth when I'm only in the room/area, but when many players are around, it gets fairly choppy. Doesn't matter what my screen resolution, or other settings are at, it still does it. I have the latest driver and all.

I can still play, but has a scout. It makes everything more of a challenge.

Check your BIOS for an option called HPET (High Precision <random OEM name here> Timer) Its usally under the Power management settings... It can cause the exact symptoms your describing with games and the BSODs

Unfortuantly for you, the only problem i had for TF2 that i had was carried over from my Windows XP x64, Failure to locate background.

All i can really suggest is trying to delete your Team Fortress 2 File under
X:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Username\
Delete team fortress 2
and try again.

Another thing, Basic stuff, Open up steam
Right click on Team Fortress 2
Defrag Game Files and Verify Game Cache.

And for good measures, delete clientregistry.blob from X:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/

hey guys.
first of all, nice forum. really interesting stuff to read and nice people! good work

i also have this problem with tf2. and it is a network problem.
my net settings are fine and the pings on different servers are alright. but nevertheless it feels like i would be having a ping of 200ms or something.
i have to say, without wanting to attack anyone, i think this will only be noticed by more advanced players who move quickly and are usually on top of the scoreboard here, take a look at these two screenshots of my net_graph:



i have absolutely no clue what causes this. again - this is a lag / connection problem, not an fps issue

Copy/paste this steam url address into your FF or IE addressbar and press enter, it will run the Steam Diagnostics and output a report identifying any codecs/drivers or other configuration causing Steam to crash

steam://support/?Issues=*

If Steam continues to crash after trying the recommendations shown on the Diagnostics report, please exit from Steam and then try deleting all files and folders in the Steam directory except for steam.exe and the SteamApps folder.

Let me know how you go.

i fixed the laggy issue by deactivating the multi threading in the video settings

Hey guys, hopefully someone here can help me.

I just installed my windows 7 and I am having some ms problems with my TF2.
When I am at the base I get 299 fps and 70~80ms (wich is normal), but in the heat of the battle my fps goes down to 150 (again, normal) and my ms goes to 150~200!!! (NOT normal at all!!)
I have installed the lan drivers from evga (my motherboard) and nothing changes, if its possible, even gets worse.
So I am using the latest driver avaible for windows 7.
Its not a problem with the internet, since my brother has vista and he doesnt have this problem playing TF2.
I have no idea what to do, and I really dont wanna go back to vista. =/

And for me, doing what 1nsane did, turning off the multicore option, its no good since I have a gtx 295.

Please, someone help mee!!

Multi Core rendering means that tf2 will use 2 CPU Threads instead of 1. so it has nothing to do with your sli mode.
