You having a mobility CPU would lead me to believe that you may be overheating, and mobility cpus underclock themselves to prevent them from reaching dangerous temperatures and it creates a visible "hang" ingame. Though if cl_ejectbrass worked for you that's great to know, I might turn that back on. (just fyi cl_ejectbrass has been off in my cfg for over a year now never had an issue I couldn't resolve)

Either you're having a temperature problem or you can try brimstones fix and see if that helps.

Please post it somewhere on the forums if not here what you find out.

-edit-
Going to be doing an "official" update to my cfg here in the coming days. Technically some of it is already in there cause the link never changes.

Big thanks to Comanglia. This dude helped me for 45 minutes to get an extra 20-30 fps out of my 1.7ghz/integrated gfx laptop.
What I have thus far:
-Cowmanglia CFG
-No hats/effects mod
-640x480
-preload with filterlightmaps script/mat_showlowresimage 1
-mat_viewportscale 1, mat_viewportupscale 0.5
End Result: http://i.imgur.com/b2CTjX2.png

god it feels good to be gaming.

what preloading are you talking about?

to force mat_showlowresimage 1 to work I have to preload the specific map locally with sv_cheats 1 on.

When i re open the game after a alt-tab everything lags and sometimes i get crashes aswell. I never had a cfg for more fps and never had this problem. It started happening yesterday after i installed this cfg. Any solution?

EDIT: i cant even move or shoot in singleplayer servers. Why?

This is exactly what is happening to me. It's very frustrating and mat_queue_mode -1 doesn't fix anything.

EDIT: I fixed my TF2. Here's what I did:

Deleted HUD and FPS configs
Added -autoconfig to launch options
Launched TF2 and played around in an offline server safely
Quit TF2 and added the FPS config back in
Launched TF2 and played around in an offline server, again safely
Added my HUD back in
Launched TF2 (crashed again on the offline server)
Removed surfaceproperties.txt from the scripts folder

Surfaceproperties.txt seemed to be the issue. I hope this helps.

Done what you sayed but didnt fix anything. After launching tf2 the first time with autoconfig in the launch options i still could not move but i could shoot. When i brought the cfg and hud back the problem was still there. Anyone else?

_vitto, maybe try host_thread_mode 0 , see if that helps.

I discovered something that might be interesting. If i use dxlevel 90 both of the issues are gone in fact i can play normally in singleplayer and alt tabbing out and back in is smooth but the thing is i want to keep my dxlevel to 81 :C any ideas?

Hey, I just downloaded this config, tried it, adjusted some things till all issues were fixed, except for one: Sound. It's the most noticeable on hitsounds (I use default) in that it's very...how do I put this...metallic/crisp/"clangy." I've added // to all the sound changes in the autoexec so they're comments, but the sound still has that issue, meaning it isn't any of those. Any ideas what it may be?

Edit: Nvm. Answer was very simple, in game sound quality was set to low. On another note though, I can't use the config, because it doesnt let me move or properly shoot when in game. I load up tr_rocket_shooting2 to test out the config and when I try to shoot, it's like 100x shooting speed, and nothing comes out.

Bumping 'cause I'd like to solve this problem as well. Which command causes this?

try host_thread_mode 0 to solve the x100 shooting problem and the "no movement" issue

This worked! Thanks!

No problem

http://teamfortress.tv/thread/17973/making-your-tf2-look-blocky-again this one (makes sniper scope unusable)

Well shit looks like I need another update...

the host_thread_mode 0 command fixed the "not moving" problem. Now i still have the alt tab lag to fix, remember that with dxlevel 90 i dont have that problem.

edit: probably placebo stutters happening again.

reinstalling tf2 seemed to do the trick.

I have found out that disabling steam overlay in game removes the stutters.

I've updated the cfg 9 days ago, just haven't really told anyone...

The Alt+tab lag is likely "-dxlevel" being in the launch options, or steam overlay, or you have a signifcant number of friends and need to put yourself as "offline" to fix that.

host_thread_mode 0 is now the default in my cfg

this cfg has more fps than the last I have the benchmarks at home but I am at work...

Thanks for the update. Going offline mode/turning off steam overlay does not stop the alt tab lag for me. Is changing dxlevel from 81 to 90 the only solution?

It worked for me, give it a try.

im sorry but sometimes i forget to turn it on but can u make rawinput on by default in the writing?

Dude, just change m_rawinput from a 0 to a 1 in your config. If you're too lazy to find it, just add m_rawinput 1 at the end to overwrite it.

Alright so

m_rawinput 1 has compatibility issues with some chat programs (xfire), some mice, and a few other raw input programs, etc.

I recommend it on for most people but I can't just have it set to 1

I just want to make sure you're removing "-dxlevel 81" from your launch options after the 1st load, as for some users this cause ALT+TAB lag.

It worked thanks.

Yeah having that on 0 by default in the cfg fucked me up for a few days until I realised that I wasn't quite as bad as I thought I was. Also who still uses xfire in 2015 lol.

As of the TF2 update yesterday, using DX81 causes a crash to desktop upon startup with no error message. DX9 works fine. Anyone with a similar issue find a resolution?

I'm not crushing, but it takes longer for TF to start and i experience random shutters now and then.

I play on DX 8.1 and I streamed yesterday

This config breaks my mumble overlay. Any idea what might be causing this?
