TF2 crashing on local server or on jump servers

Hello there!

Wednesday I was playing on a jump server when suddenly tf2 crashed. At first I didn't think much of it but when I tried to rejoin the server tf2 crashed again. It just said "hl2.exe stopped working". I tried to rejoin about three more times with the same result. I can perfectly play on non-jump servers though.
When I try to make a local server I have the same problem.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Perhaps there is a command that causes crashes that is usually locked due to sv_cheats but local and jump servers allow it to be turned on. I'm not an expert on this subject by any means but here's a way to troubleshoot if this is the case

Back up your cfg and try this: http://www.teamfortress.tv/30651/boost-fps-with-this-one-simple-trick
It should make most of your settings default or recommended. Then try to join a jump server

If I'm right then this should hopefully fix it. If it's fixed you can then use your cfg again.
If the crashes happens again then the cause is a command in your cfg which you can then hopefully find and remove

I just tried out the command and it does work. However is there a way of keeping all of my current settings?

Maybe host_thread_mode 0 will prevent the crashes.

mastercomsMaybe host_thread_mode 0 will prevent the crashes.

The value was already set to zero so that didn't fix it :/

I just followed all of his steps and now my tf2 looks like potato. How do I fix this?
I already replaced the config file whit the back up i made but that doesn't work

I don't think that's the problem. The graphics and resolution are just really bad

i swear there was something about a lightmap setting that caused this issue.

Cyanici swear there was something about a lightmap setting that caused this issue.

It looks like this so i don't think it's a lightmap issue :/ https://imgur.com/YITt6Zq
It's like 480 by 720 or something.
Another problem i've noticed is that my custom settings are gone too.

EDIT: I somehow got my settings back and the potato resolution I simply adjusted in-game and so far everything seems normal again. I'm sorry for my ignorance on this subject but I was panicking a little :/
