okay, so not too shortly after the pyro update hit my game started suffering from these freezes or fps drops, i don't know what, that lasted from between a fraction of a second to large ones like 2 seconds. these were happening easily multiple times a minute and you can probably imagine that it made me go insane in a full 30 minute match. it made the game feel like a slideshow and it legitimately made me contemplate on quitting the game. here's a video demonstration of what it was like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIzVLQtm9LY all the tiny freezes are not because the video is failing it's the game. it's just unbearable to play the game like this.

i can tell you that these freezes only happen in actual games and become worse during fights, when i'm bhopping or just playing on a practice maps they are nonexistent. i've validated game files, reinstalled the game and all my custom files, i even went as far to clean my computer from dust but that didn't do anything either. when this was happening i also noticed that my tf2 was taking an incredible amount of time to even load up, easily over 3 minutes. note that NONE of this was happening in other games like csgo, l4d2 and overwatch.

so realizing it wasn't happening in other games i isolated the problem to tf2. the thing that made me eventually let out a sigh of relief was switching from my fps config, which at the time was chris' maxframes to chris' highframes. this fixed all the stuttering and tf2 was starting up in around 30-40 seconds. it was truly a great time to be alive because i thought everything was fixed. except since yesterday the stuttering returned. nothing i've done has fixed the problem, i had faith in chris' highframes but it ultimately betrayed me. all the symptoms are the exact same as before, i haven't installed anything i could see that would cause this.

so please, if anyone has any idea what this is and how to fix it, please give me some help. i'll try my best to answer any questions you might have.

lft i wish to play video games

i'm pretty sure i'm not playing for ascent

i'd say it really depends on the player. making sure it doesn't feel like a chore to do is important though. trying different ways of training might help you in finding out what works the best for you.

for me it was just playing scout, i didn't play mge or DM. the training i got from was through just playing scout whether it be in pubs, pugs, scrims, officials and whatnot. i didn't feel mge was very helpful for my mentality while DM and practice maps were very boring to play for more than 10 minutes. it took me some time to realize that i just really enjoyed playing scout. i wouldn't recommend doing what i did though, or if you do at least play other classes occasionally so you won't end up incompetent at everything except scout.

i don't know if bhop and surfing helps in anyway but i really enjoy playing those just as a time waster, very fun.

nuthouse as in a mental hospital/asylum which i came up with when i was 12 and now every time i look at my name i think of semen

lft i wanna game

someone eating with his/her mouth open

piano 100%

the way i fixed my tilting was by going into games with complete indifference, not really expecting anything and just played like i usually do. and when i did get mad i would just grit my teeth and not say anything. i think the most important part about it was not voicing my complaints to my teammates.
