Team Fortress 2 problem


Recommended Posts

Ok, so i've been having a problem with Team Fortress 2 since I bought it. I'll be playing it fine then all of a sudden it will slow down majorly for a bit then go back to normal and then slow back down....It seems like a really bad lag but it does it everytime, in different servers. It's not my internet, and I only have one thing in the background running (aim). The graphics settings are set to what the game says are best for my system.

Intel p4 @3ghz

2gig ram.

GeForce 6800 256mb.

Anyone have any ideas? I restarted everything to find out if that fixes it but it doesnt.

When it "slows down and then goes back", does it slow down in heavy fight areas, or just at random points even if you were in spawn facing a wall?

I could be anywhere on the map with no one else around and it will just slow down. I've noticed it in fight areas too which would make sense, but when I ask mostly everyone else says they dont have a problem.

Figured I'd bump this to find out if anyone has an idea why it does this. The best way to describe this as a massive loss of fps. Does it now in heavy fight areas and even in areas where no one is around. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, updated graphic drivers and still goes on.

I'm also seeing this. It generally goes away after about 1 min, but there doesn't seem to be any correlation between in-game activity and when the slow down occurs.

It could be either computer or internet doing something while sending stats to server or something along those lines else only thing i can think of would be physical hardware issue.

I had a similar experience playing TF2, the slowdowns would happen once or twice an hour and would last a few seconds. My guess its hardware related but not specific to your hardware, just how the game is coded.

Does it do it on specific maps? A badly made custom map could do this also try putting the graphics settings as low as you can and see if it still does it.
