  1. // comments by ed:
  2. // name this file autoexec.cfg and place it here:
  3. // C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg
  4. //
  5. // use these launch options:
  6. // -w 1366 -h 768 -novid -windowed -noborder
  7. // (replace -w and -h with your screen resolution)
  8. //
  9. // I didn't notice much difference between
  10. // -dxlevel 81, -dxlevel 90 and -dxlevel 91
  11. //
  12. // The only thing I changed is mat_picmip, lower values mean better quality,
  13. // vani had "-1" but then my netbook would crash a few seconds into a game
  14. // (you really want "-1" otherwise sprays look like shit)
  15. //
  16. // the remaining comments below are presumably by vani
  17.  
  18. //Run TF2 in -dxlevel 81 with this autoexec for (generally) max performance
  19.  
  20. //Remember to remove -dxlevel 81 from the launch options after launching the game once since having it specified there causes some annoying alt tab and overlay glitches (apparently this is fixed for some but I wouldnt take any risks).
  21.  
  22. //If you're on a laptop cap your fps at 133 to reduce overheating. You want to use fps_max 900 on a system with normal/good cooling.
  23.  
  24. //You can change these seven commands to see if you get better/worse performance, or disable them if you get purple error textures/overlay glitch textures randomly/frequently -v
