Maybe it's just the particles in general. If you still get fps drops the best thing to do would be to turn off particles.

Unfortunately the command that would change particle settings (r_drawparticles) requires sv_cheats 1.
you can try using a graphics config+lowest settings to squeeze out some frames but other than that you're probably boned without a hardware upgrade. :/

Yeah, that's unfortunate.
But thanks for response)

I also get drops when I play pyro. I think it's the flame particles.. Is there anyway I can lower the flame particles?

DX8 if you don't already use it. I think there are also files in Clean TF2 that remove some particles?

ye, but these files are NOT allowed in sv_pure which sux.

If I remember correctly, there was a way to lower the quality of particles to essentially minecraft level. Not sure if it's still a thing but I know several streamers used to use it.

Pretty sure that doesnt improve fps

In Quik's words, yes, it doesn't.
Here's his thread http://www.teamfortress.tv/17973/making-your-tf2-look-blocky-again
edit: also streamers does use LOD Tweak
but i have Intel HD Graphics, so this doesn't work for me.

I know that this is a bit old but

Clean TF2's method of particle removal doesn't fix fps issues. It just tells the materials to not draw, when most of the fps drops are from the particle system itself and not the materials.
Clean TF2 helps fps through the unlit options (which is incredibly broken on sv_pure) and the model removals (which actually still works 100% fine in sv_pure with preloading), but not through particles.
You can edit the pcf's in a way that both works in sv_pure with preloading and does actually disable the particle system itself, but it doesn't work for most pcf files, which is kinda dumb.

Can you elaborate on this part please? How would one go about doing that, and which pcf files would it work with?
