#44 low fps on tf2 with gtx 970 in Q/A Help

nobelharvardsMy guess, is either because Windows 7 does not play nice with 8 core CPUs, since Windows 7 was released back in 2009, or...

AMD have always been the underdog against Intel. Because they have less money, I am guessing they are forced to focus more on the latest OS drivers (Windows 8, 8.1, possibly 10 as well), and less on the older ones such as XP, Vista or 7.

I think it's probably something more to do with multicore optimizations. AMD was fine compared to Intel in the Phenom 2 days. FX CPUs are historically bad at single-threaded operations.

Remember, even DX11 is single threaded.

#7 SweetFX Error in Customization

FranklinNinjaWait, I can launch the game, but there is no color difference, I set the toggle effects key to f12 and nothing happend when I pressed f12

Can't help you. Issue with SweetFX, not with the game.

Essentially Source games all use hl2.exe (or mostly use, some don't) to launch their own games. Each game is actually a "mod", which has its own folder. For example, Portal uses "-game portal". TF2 just uses "tf". You were missing that argument so it tried to launch HL2, not TF2.

Are you running DX8? You might have issues with SweetFX if so.

#4 SweetFX Error in Customization

FranklinNinjaIts the SweetFX configurator http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/

Thanks for the upfront answer.

It's a wrapper.

Click the hl2.exe entry, hit the Game settings button, and under launch arguments, add

-game tf

at the very beginning.

#2 SweetFX Error in Customization

How are you launching the game through SweetFX?

How does SweetFX even launch? Does it use a wrapper, or d3d9.dll?

#29 Why can't we add a button? in TF2 General Discussion

cerealI honestly don't think Valve cares about what their game is like at this point or else the short circuit wouldn't be a thing. They only care about money and the button would only make them more money.

Preaching to the choir, buddy. The 6s and HL meta are the way they are for a damned good reason.

The HL meta is essentially the TF2 meta refined for competitive. 6s is almost its own game.

#27 Why can't we add a button? in TF2 General Discussion

cerealnobody has explained to me what is bad about adding a button that takes two minutes

the only argument that I've heard is "why would we spend 2 minutes making a button when we can spend 2 minutes on csgo?"

Really? Read the thread fully.

Valve doesn't want to support a community that disagrees with them. Simple as that. The current competitive meta doesn't agree with Valve's meta, for the most part.

#24 Why can't we add a button? in TF2 General Discussion

tojoWell after "observing the flow of tf.tv" that's pretty much what everyone does :-/

I rarely see huge numbers of downvotes past like -5 or -10 on really big topics, unless it's incredibly stupid shit that ends up getting deleted later. There's a lot more than 5 or 10 people disagreeing on this forum.

#4 Changing Weapon Sounds in Customization

Mightyshet :x

Welcome to the struggle. Custom crosshairs don't even work on Valve servers. They only permit custom HUD elements, sprays, and hitsounds.

#22 Why can't we add a button? in TF2 General Discussion

SideshowI agree that Valve could do small things which would provide a big boost to us as a community, but I can see also why they wouldn't want to. Our version of competitive tf2 is pretty far removed from their (and everyone else's) idea of tf2.

This is basically what happened with the letter, and every attempt to reach out to Valve prior. They've stated that they don't enthuse with the 6s community because our version of the meta is far different than theirs. This is part of what Arena: Respawn and recent HL whitelists are trying to do.

cereallet me just downvote everyone I disagree with

#2 Changing Weapon Sounds in Customization

When I started using it, I noticed that my airshots were way worse than usual, and I was under-predicting the speed of my rockets

You're aware the Original fires a rocket directly down the center of your screen, while every other launcher fires from the side, right? And THAT'S probably the reason for you missing airshots?

Also this doesn't work on sv_pure 1 using Valve's whitelist.

]sv_pure
-------------------------------------------------------
sv_pure: Only allow client to use certain files.

#18 Why can't we add a button? in TF2 General Discussion

tojoAnd we say that as if they won't change. Who knows dude. Let's make a fucking petition or something and maybe they will make a button that will link to playcomp.tf. We are probably just newer players in the comp tf2 community that want to believe but why not try.

probably

Look, I'm not just trying to shoot you down completely, but I think that if you spent maybe two or three weeks just sitting back and watching how everything goes, observing the flow of the TF.TV community, you'd understand the attitude and argument a lot better.

cerealpeople know that there is csgo right when they launch the game

I'm sure there is a lot of people who still do not know that there is comp tf2 and have over 100 hours

Counter Strike is kind of in an awkward position in this argument because the game was competitive from the start, and only very recently has it gained a casual following. Dota probably makes for a better argument, though the same words from your post could be said about it.

Switch to one of the affected weapons and check the value of r_drawviewmodel and viewmodel_fov in console, by simply typing those variables without any value. Report back here with those values.
