I know it sounds crazy but try these settings for a bit and see if you still have any issues. I know, tech wizards out there, it doesn't make sense to use these settings, I know, but it has helped me before (I think, unless it was placebo). It can't hurt to try it.

cl_cmdrate 100
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 100

What are your net-related settings in your autoexec?

I get this error whenever I try to launch it with another Source game like TF2 open.

If someone has 4 people to play this then I'd be more than willing to give anyone connect info to my own server while I'm not using it. Just message me on Steam and I'll get it set up.

Added up-to-date whitelist. If I missed anything let me know please.

IT'S GONE

It expires tonight, so I only want to give it to someone who promises to use it. I'm home from work and too lazy to go out and use it, so I figured someone else could enjoy it. Message me on Steam and I'll send it to you.

I went through the same hellish experience about 2-3 months ago. Let me tell you I know exactly how frustrated you are. The solution to mine ended up being my cable modem and router were dying. I'd had the modem for about 5-6 years and the router was roughly 3 years old. Long story short I bitched at my ISP and told them my modem was dropping connection and they gave me a new cable modem (comes free from most ISPs as far as I can tell). Then I invested in a new router, and presto- No more ridiculously unexplained lag.

So my advice would be to try your computer plugged directly into the cable modem if it isn't already. Doing that will help you rule out if the problem is specific to your router or not. If the direct connection from your computer to the modem still sucks, and you're sure it's nothing about your computer, then I suggest you find a way to try another cable modem.

Which -dxlevel launch command is the default?

As far as midfights go, you need to be aware of the typical strategies people run depending on the map. If you know where the scouts or demoman usually come from, then you should anticipate where you can lay down your first stickies at the midfight. Prediction is a big part of playing smart demoman.

Also as far as looking at this question from a team perspective, work with your scouts and have them call where the important enemies are at the beginning of the midfight. Working with your scouts to control mid asap gives you an edge over your opponent. TF2 is a communication game. The better you can communicate with your team the more room your team has to grow.

tf_dingalingaling "1"
tf_dingaling_volume "1"
tf_dingaling_pitchmaxdmg "175"
tf_dingaling_pitchmindmg "100"

Change those to whatever settings you prefer inside each class config file.
