Optimizing Team Fortress 2
Long-time Icrontic contributor Jared Atchison shows you how to pick up a little extra performance from Valve Software’s amazingly popular Team Fortress 2 addon for Half Life 2.
When I built my new XP rig last week I immediately installed TF2 and Counter-Strike since those are my favorite MP games.
After playing TF2 for two nights I noticed a rather big problem.
I was getting really bad lag spikes within the game. Turning on the netgraph (net_graph 3 in the console) showed I was getting spikes where the choke would run high (30+) and I was often getting spikes where the graph would show basically nothing for 1-3 seconds.
