This is more of an optional step. For those that play TF2 on say a potato PC: you can use configs to GREATLY increase your game performance. I was originally gonna make this whole section a separate guide but I see there are lots of them already out there so I'm just gonna leave it here.Configs refer to the configuration files, which are used by the game to quickly change game settings, such as graphics and gameplay options. Many configs are designed to improve game performance through lowering graphics settings, as well as providing extra functionality through use of other client commands, such as viewmodel tweaks and network settings.There are two types of configs (you can use both at the same time also): FPS Configs (FPS configs strive to lower game graphics as much as possible in order to increase the framerate (FPS) of the game) and Class Configs which could go from transparent viewmodels to Medic Configs for players wanting to play Comp. Source There are LOADS of configs out there but the most popular are:1) Mastercomfic 2) TF2Mate 3) Comanglias 4) Chris' Configurations (This one is a bit old so you might have some issues)5) And of course my favorite place to go for configs: https://cfg.tf/ Simply go to Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/ . In the “tf” folder make a new folder called “custom” and inside that folder make another folder. You can call it anything as long as it has “custom” in it. Example: samscustom. Once you have your config just drop it in the second custom folder and that is it!Besides configs there are some other ways to squeeze out a bit more FPS. Keep in mind that these might not work for everyone.1) Your DirectX version. There are various versions you can choose from but I recommend using either DX 95 OR DX 81 You can set your preferred DX level by going to your Steam Library/Team Fortress 2/Properties/Set Launch Options/ and useor. You can also paste thereto allow the game to run on High performance on your computer. ALSO you can pasteif you don’t want to see the VALVe intro at the beginning of the game.2) Playing on a stretched resolution. If you are playing on NVIDIA graphics follow this steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqC1jZsDHY&t=107s And if you are on INTEL graphics follow this steps:Field of View refers to the angle of the player's view. The range that Team Fortress 2 supports is from 75 to 90, representing an angle of degrees. A smaller field of view restricts vision of the space to the left and right of the player, and instead focuses on what is in front of them. On the other hand, a wider field of view will allow the player to see more of what is around them, which can prevent flanking. Source To select your desired FOV just go to your console and type fov_desired plus the number you prefer. Example fov_desired 90This one is how much of your weapon you can see. To change it simply type in console viewmodel_fov plus the number you want. Example: viewmodel_fov 90This one just makes you weapons look smaller: To use it type in console tf_use_min_viewmodels 1.Once you are done your game should look a bit like this:
