These sorts of videos are a godsend for the community, and should be promoted by valve

how does valve promote something posted on youtube though

[@cryptidtd7294]

The real big brain setting change is to increase the weapon model size so you can see all those warpaints you spent too much money on better.

no way this man already updated the title to 2024

[@yric5747]

[@drakoanimations1451]

It helped me a lot whit demoman, i don't know why, maybe having a bigger sight helped me catching enemies and the viewmodels became less annoying, you deserve more subs!

Tf2 surprised me when it ran on a school laptop with 50gb of storage. It ran well as well, only stuttering a bit at the start of the match and a little when you start up the game.

[@SPY_fromtf2_]

Its 2024 now and It still works

[@Keengbob]

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS GUIDE SO MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST INSTALLED THE GAME AND I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT THIS GUIDE HELPED ME ALOT. THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE.

[@schnoy8535]

Thank you for the guide. Its really helpfull.
I have one question: why exactly do you use window borderless instead of Fullscreen. isnt there more latency with borderless?

[@ChowLiboPay]

You can use the rest of your computer without minimizing the game, just personal preference.

[@f.florian_80085]

@@ChowLiboPay so how would i have to change the launch options for it to be fullscreen?

[@XtraKawaii]

I use borderless windows because when tf2 is maximized it disables night light which tints your screen more orange helping with eye strain from blue light

[@ZZZ-xq9pk]

really useful video, thank you!! how do u not have more subs

[@plocate6294]

wtf this is so good, in game configs does not allow you to play on 1920 1080, the game looks much better

whenever I tab out it won't let me tab back in I have to shut down tf2 and restart it
plz help
edit: i fixed it by removing novid

[@interstellargalactic5959]

Good guide indeed! Btw, do you need to eiter create an autoexec.cfg notepad file into cfg folder and put the commands into it and then go to config.cfg notepad and paste exec autoexec and then also add to launch options +exec autoexec? I think it got removed each time I started TF2 and I had to type it again into the console hence due to: "Casual Mode also began the enforcement of sv_pure 1, a server command that forcibly disables custom files (apart from HUDs and hitsounds) on official Valve servers" - Taken from their official wiki page. Cheers!

now every time i load up tf2 it spams my screen with h2l is not responding

[@soviet_salsa2983]

how do i keep the console settings permanent, whenever i join another game they revert back

[@ChowLiboPay]

Make an autoexec.cfg file, and type those commands in and place it in your cfg folder in the game files.

[@JacomeFelg]

Do the fov_desired 90 and viewmodel_fov 90 options remain set after you've quit the game and come back, or do you have to do it every time?

[@Tthammavong]

you don’t have to do it every time

[@vasmorea4772]

sometimes you need to do it again

[@NikN1444]

thanks

[@brickfilmjunkie923]

For the views and what not is it permanent or do you have to use dev console for all of em each time you join a game
