In case anyone runs into this post from like Google or something, I solved this issue by changing my RAM speeds in BIOS to 3200MHz from the default rate of 2133MHz and enabling "Global C-State Control" in BIOS as well.

Here is a quick recording w/ net_graph 4 on: https://streamable.com/svt34p
Reducing mouse polling rate did not fix the issue
DannyHollowIf your motherboard has integrated Wifi/BT try disabling that through device manager, JayzTwoCents made a video about it being a possible cause for stuttering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWTZkB9rVU0 also, if your monitor has adaptive sync (freesync or gsync) try using that as well
I checked my windows system event logs and do not see the same errors he was seeing, nor have I had the IO issues he displayed in the vid
amperemake sure not to mess with tf2's processing priority in the task manager
I have not messed with priorities
jp_High polling rate mouse?
It's set to 1000 right now, but from what I've seen it's only a problem if you go above that. I can try lowering it and see though.
sagehave you tried resetting your Bios to defaults just in case?
I have
gedutry reinstalling tf2 one more time, but make sure to delete the whole Team Fortress 2 folder and Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\tf\Settings key
uninstall graphic drivers using DDU and install them again
if you say only TF2, have you tried other Source 1 games (HL2, L4D(2), GMOD)?
does your entire PC freeze or only the game (eg. you can hear music/mumble while the freeze is happening)?
if it's only the game, record the freezing with net_graph 4 on
I've done a full reset of my OS recently so all the files / registry were reset. As for the freeze it's just the game, Discord / music do not stutter when it happens. I'll try to get a net_graph 4 vid
footsocksReally basic but have you tried completely resetting your TF2 file? If not, then it might help since you said it's the only game with issues. Mastercoms has an easy guide here: https://docs.comfig.app/latest/setup/clean_up/
I've completely reinstalled the game twice, but I'll try this out as well.
Somewhat pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I'm experience constant stuttering on a decent rig. It's about every 2-3 seconds I freeze for half a second.
Things I've tried:
- Mastercomfig (all tiers)
- Install the game to the same drive as the main steam install
- Disable full screen optimizations
- Fullscreen, windowed full screen
- Adjusting fps_max
- dxlevel 90 in startup options
Specs:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
- Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB x2
- Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
- Corsair RM1000x
- 2 Samsung SSDs
Graphics drivers / all software is up to date. Really not sure what else to try, this is the ONLY game I have this issue in.
wonderoflwill be funny when tf2 outlives the sequel too
it already has
Can't wait to die to a spinbotting saxton hale
Thank you for this. I really appreciate you grabbing all the current huds from the site and having them ready just in case the creators didn't notice the huds.tf shutdown (because i definitely didn't until last minute).
I know you plan to have a better UI for advanced search, but do you know if things like ratings will return? Sorting by rating would be appreciated because there's a lot of unfinished / minor edit huds in the listings.
Also, what about hitsounds / killsounds? I know this was a minor addition to the original huds.tf, and it was mainly flooded with in-jokes and anime sounds, but I did find it useful for finding some good new beeps and bloops to use.
It's a shame that your name is still attached to them after selling. I ordered a server a few years ago and quickly realized it was no longer you when it wasn't your signature on support tickets. They definitely fail to live up to your standards, but it's awesome to see you coming back.

My friend pointed it out that the friend (or dev himself) had promoted the precursor game on tf.tv before too
https://www.teamfortress.tv/30539/devil-daggers/
maybe the dev is a lurker here and thought it would be funny to add the fridge, or this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper.

I've really been trying to figure this one out. I loaded up process f7 (you can see it's the currently played map when b4nny pulls up the scoreboard) and took a look at this door frame. My first impression was that there was a hammer viewport on that door frame, and it was some kind of glitch when walking through it, but no, as you can see there isn't a viewport.

I also figured wherever b4nny teleported was some kind of dev room, but it's actually this back area off the side of the map.

Of note, b4nny is pushing red last and is warped into the room on blu side last. But why was there a fridge there of all places, and what caused his vision to bug out like that?
My take on the fridges appearing on mid is just the prop glitching out to the map origin point, similar to how ragdolls will sometimes appear suddenly and randomly on the midpoint when you have them disabled. The other fridge sightings are very strange.

i prefer the US image over the international one
If you already have tf_dingaling_volume maxed out you can always increase the volume of the hitsound itself through audacity or some other audio editing program.
