I was told to open my TF2 and join a server to see if any errors come up in console, the following errors show up (incoming spam, sorry):

Sadly it didn't work, didn't change anything in my game :(

I've made a separate thread for this problem but it couldn't hurt to post it here.

When the Scream Fortress 2013 update came out yesterday my TF2 was fine, but today my TF2 is now giving me 20 frames or less on every map I go on and I'm out of ideas on how to fix the issue.

So far i've tried: verifying my game cache, re-installing the game, running the game without my HUD and configs, disabled and enabled multicore rendering, run in dx8 and 9 (9 is what I run the game in by default anyway), running in windowed mode, checked dx levels 80-98, changed all my graphics settings in options from the reccomended settings to the ones on the fps config aswell as changing options on the nvidia control panel, enabled and disabled vsync, running in windowed mode, tried out every fps config from chris, defragging the TF2 files.

None of these fixes have worked for me so far. So if anyone can give me some suggestions i'd be very grateful.

Should also note that before this error I was getting around 200-400 frames but now I get around 100 on spawn then as I head outside into battlements/rest of the map my frames get lower than 20

Another bump, i'll keep these coming until Nov 11

bump ;_;

I've also tried out some additional stuff to see if it'll fix it: running in windowed mode, checked dx levels 80-98, changed all my graphics settings in options from the reccomended settings to the ones on the fps config aswell as changing options on the nvidia control panel.

Yea

Yea, i've tried different types of fpsconfig's (I usually use dx9frames and that's been working the best out of all them before this update for me). Guess I have to wait :(

Hey everyone,

This one really needs to happen before scrim time. So many people missed out :(

I just got it today too, I fixed it by deleting ClientRegistry.blob in steam directory and then restarted steam.

If that dosen't work then when signed into steam go to 'Steam' in the top left then go to 'Change User' and logout then sign back in.
