What is the TF2 Ultimate FPS Pack?

It's for the unfortunate with really old computers, and I mean seriously old computers. Ones with integrated graphics cards, and/or old dedicated graphics cards.

 

What are the results?

I've been testing achievement_idle because it's the most simple map available. I can get around 40-60 FPS with each class.

Works great! There's a definite FPS boost... The FPS boost is about 30 FPS, by the way. Forgot to mention that. Went from 30 to 60.

 

Quote from: Hivnom

Results:

5-15 fps with no other windows open before this

With internet explorer(3 tabs) open, 20-60 FPS

I love you forever. Although the N64-ish graphics look horrendous, I kinda like it.

It's great! Now i can play!

 

Quote from: RockyJames

My Main PC Died. Which meant I had to fall back to my...'Craptop' , lets call it that. It's an Acer 5515, it will gag on TF2, even on all Low settings set via options.

 

This FPS pack was a /lifesaver/. I'm able to enjoy TF2 again!

 

Where do the test results come from?

My netbook, which has a 1.6ghz processor and an Intel GMA 945 Integrated Chip with 2gb of ram. I have not overclocked and I was running multiple programs at once (which I should have exited, but forgot to)

 

How do I install the TF2 Ultimate FPS Pack?

The pack is packaged in an installer for easy installation.

 

Help! I only get 5fps!

It tends to happen on larger maps. This installer package is just about as far as you can go for optimization, so if you can't get ANY fps out of it, the most I can say is "Get a new computer"

It's not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's cause of the server settings. Find a server without sv_pure on.

 

I want to uninstall!

In the control panel, you can select to uninstall the TF2 Ultimate FPS Pack.

Alternatively, you can go to the installation directory and there will be an uninstaller.

 

DOWNLOAD (Version 1.5, .exe installer, recommended)

Want to try out the newest version before it's released? Register for an account and PM me and I'll send you version 1.7 beta.

Zip version (Password is "netbooknetwork.net")

ALTERNATE MEDIAFIRE MIRROR (Version 1.4, .exe installer, only use if server is slow)

 

NOTE: If your anti virus claims there is a trojan, there isn't. I have no idea why av scans are showing trojans. I'm using Avast! which has a high scan rate, detects nothing. Kaspersky also detects nothing.

>Increasing Virtual Memory

How to increase Virtual Memory?

 

 

In Windows XP

 

1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2.Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

3.On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

4.On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.

5.Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.

6.Under Paging file size for selected drive, click to Custom size check box. You can enter the amount of memory you would like to reserve for Virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.

7.Click Set

When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

Special Note: You should choose the same amount for the initial size and maximum size. This will Stop your CPU from constantly changing the paging file.

 

HOT TIP: To stop your CPU from constantly changing the paging file, set the initial and maximum size to the same value. For example, 500 and 500. The value should be at least 1.5 times more than your physical RAM. If your computer has 512MB of RAM increase the virtual memory paging file to 1.5*512= 768

 

In Vista

 

 

1. Click Start button Picture of the Start button

2. Click Control Panel

3. Choose System and Maintenance and then click System.

4. In the left pane, click Advanced system settings.

5.On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

6. Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, choose Change.

7. Click Custom to change the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size. See the hot tip above

 

Remember to choose the drive you would like to use to increase the virtual memory. In most cases it usually your C: Drive. You can set the initial size and maximum size after clicking the Custom size check box.Remember its better to keep the Virtual memory values the same.

 

Also having enough available space is absolutely necessary for your virtual memory and RAM to function properly.

 

Please post your FPS before and after trying this. For me

6v6

Before:100-120

After: Constant 120 and uncapped i get 160-180

12v12

Before: 60-100

After:100 to 120

What is your screen resolution?

and as long as you are able to see how does the graphics look like, you shouldn't bother for the image going out of the frame ... and i think this should be fixed technically

[deliaren 3]

Resized, please keep all images below 900 pixels width.

 

use for image resize
