Hey everyone,
When the Scream Fortress 2013 update came out yesterday my TF2 was fine, but today my TF2 is now giving me 20 frames or less on every map I go on and I'm out of ideas on how to fix the issue.
So far i've tried: verifying my game cache, re-installing the game, running the game without my HUD and configs, disabled and enabled multicore rendering, run in dx8 and 9 (9 is what I run the game in by default anyway) and none of these fixes have worked for me so far.
If anyone can give me some suggestions i'd be very grateful.

The update added all the fancy magic shit, might be causing performance issues, see if it goes away in a few days. Meanwhile, have you tried playing with an fps config aka Chris'?

Yea, i've tried different types of fpsconfig's (I usually use dx9frames and that's been working the best out of all them before this update for me). Guess I have to wait :(

Does the problem persist if you play offline?

Yea
I've also tried out some additional stuff to see if it'll fix it: running in windowed mode, checked dx levels 80-98, changed all my graphics settings in options from the reccomended settings to the ones on the fps config aswell as changing options on the nvidia control panel.
EDIT: Stuff I forgot to put: enabled and disabled vsync, running in windowed mode, tried out every fps config from chris, defragging the TF2 files
Should also note that before this error I was getting around 200-400 frames but now I get around 100 on spawn then as I head outside into battlements/rest of the map my frames get lower than 20
