My TF2 used to load a map in ~10 seconds, now it has slowed to be anywhere from 50-100 seconds.
Along with this the game will randomly stutter and skip for a second, or psuedo-crash and freeze up for as long as a minute. Any tips?
P.S. The change happened overnight so no malware or viruses are causing the problem (I have also done virus checks to be sure)
I have also verified my tf2 files

Are you on a HDD?
If you are it's entirely possible the drive is failing.
-edit-
that or your install of TF2 is horrifyingly fragmented

I would make sure all your configs are in tf/custom/WHATEVER/cfg, then back up your custom folder and totally uninstall tf2. Also save demos if you care about those.
It takes a while to download depending on your internet speed so maybe do that overnight?

I get 20 mbps dl, so I may as well do it now. Was hoping it wouldn't come to this lol

I just noticed that the lag/stuttering is reaching outside of just TF2...
I don't think I am gonna spend time reinstalling if there may be a bigger issue.
For instance my computer is estimating 1 hour to move 13 GB of data (I have a lot of demos lol). The hard drive has been defraged so I dont think that is the issue. Could my hard drive be complete garbage and it died in 4 months?
Also on a not-so-slow internet connection my chrome takes ~30 seconds to load any new page, usually stuck on a white screen for a bit

I think you've stumbled upon the answer. The drive is most probably failing. SSD time, baby!

Just ran a HDD test for my hard drive, but it came back without a hitch. Gonna go play tf2 for a bit and see if I feel the issue it still there

Still the same issue. All diagnostic test show no issue with my HDD

This has been happening to me too, and I am pretty sure that my hard drive is failing (which makes sense due to its age). Any recommendations? Also I do not have the money to spend on SSDs, so they arent an option for me.
