LAG HELP


Chilled Soda

Recommended Posts

I've had the same computer for 2 years. A year ago, I could run tf2 fine, with enough fps to even record and make some videos with little to no lag.

 

Recently, however, things took a turn for the worst. I was infected with a virus I could not get rid of, so I erased my hard drive and installed Ubuntu. Then, I got a product key from a friend, and I switched back to windows. I'm not sure if that impacted my graphics, and if so is it possible to reverse the process.

 

System Specs:

Processor: Intel® Pentium® CPU B950 @ 2.10 GHz 2.10GHz

RAM: 4.00 GB (3.84 GB usable)

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

 

 

Before I was getting around 60 fps (40 in full server fights). Even with Chris's Config my fps stays around 10, and I find the game to be glitchy in itself... opening the inventory and going back to the main menu results in a totally black screen.

 

 

halp.

Sounds like something fried from the virus? for example graphics card?

Could be the case, he mentioned that his virus 'melts' or something.

 

In which case, I'm fucked.

Well, if anything valve said that all their games actually run better on linux based systems so maybe try ubuntu again?

I would, but I need windows to run FL Studio :/

 

I might try dual booting Ubuntu alongside windows

Save up for a new PC if it doesn't work with a FPS config. It's the only solution and honestly you should have upgraded out of that pentium 5+ years ago.

Well you need to upgrade to a dedicated GPU or a AMD APU for sure. Intel integrated graphics is dreadful.

Your CPU is also dreadful, even for 2013. I recommend you find a nice build with a AMD APU if you want to play TF2 with smooth frames and don't want to spend much.

I'm going to ring my friend who is a huge techie (Also tf2 player) and ask him to set me up (He works in a computer shop)

 

Thanks for the info lads, I guess i knew this day would come... RIP Laptop
