Apply FPS Config
Difficulty: Beginner
Category: TF2 > Other/MiscAuthor(s): mcComBat, m3lior(GotFrag)

This tutorial will explain how to apply FPS config on TF2.
This config is mostly needed for people who run tf2 on an old GPU or old computer.

Ok, Step 1:

(Refer to screenshot A)

Got to:
Steam Installation Directory > Steam Apps > ACCOUNTNAMEHERE > Team Fortress 2 > TF > CFG
(Default installation directory is C:\Program Files\Steam)

Step 2:

(Refer to screenshot A)

Create a "New Text Document" in that folder.

Step 3:

(Refer to screenshot B)

Copy the following script to the text document you just created:

// ---CONFIG START---
//cheats to do some commands
sv_cheats 1

//Netcode Settings (change to your preference)

toggleconsole
clear
echo "Fps config loaded!"
// ---CONFIG END---

Step 4:

(Refer to screenshot C)

Save the file, and rename it to "autoexec.cfg" (Without the quotes)

Step 5:

(Refer to screenshot D)

a) Open Steam
b) Right click on TF2
c) Go to Properties
d) Press launch options
e) add these commands there "-dxlevel 81 -width 1024 -height 768" (Without the quotes)
You can change the resolution, I just wrote what I use.
To change resolution just change the -witdh and -height numbers to your needs.

You're done!

Once you launch the game, it should open the console and write there "Fps config loaded!"

Notes:
- If you minimize the game with this config on, and then restore it, you will get
black models everywhere. To fix that, you need to type "retry" in the console.
- If you want to stop the game from opening the console with "Fps config loaded!"
each time it is loaded, go to the autoexec.cfg file and delete last 4 lines.
- Config is not made by me, I just slightly modified it. All the credit for the config goes
to m3lior from
GotFrag.

Enjoy! :)
