FPS Optimization - Launch options {TF2}

Are you tired of searching for the required Launch Options all over the Internet? You found what you were looking for! In this guide I will briefly tell you how to use them. You will learn important commands and what they mean!

Opening Launch Options

Opening your Steam Library
Select Team Fortress 2 by right-clicking on it
Click Properties...

List of commands

We will divide the commands into three parts:



NECESSARY:
-high -window -noborder -freq (Hertz of your monitor) -mat_queue_mode 2



IMPORTANT:
-nojoy -noff -nohltv -nosteamcontroller -nod3d9ex1 -novid -console



ADDITIONAL:
-no_texture_stream -forcenovsync -precachefontchars -precachefontintlchars -cl_forcepreload 1

What are they doing?

REQUIRED:

-high - Makes TF2 a higher priority on the computer, using more memory, improving FPS

-window and -noborder - Open TF2 in window mode, but remove frames, which increases FPS

-freq (Hertz of your monitor) - Sometimes TF2 can forget how many hertz your monitor is, so you need to replace the phrase (Hertz of your monitor) with the hertz of your monitor.

mat_queue_mode 2 - Will force the engine to use multiple cores.



IMPORTANT:
-novid - Disables Valve logo, faster launch

-nojoy - Disables joystick, faster startup and less memory usage

-nohltv - Disables SourceTV hosting, reduces resource consumption

-noff - Disables feedback for controllers

-nosteamcontroller - Disables the steam controller, faster startup, less memory usage and fewer input conflicts

-nod3d9ex1 - Allows you to quickly minimize and open the game, improve resource management

-console - Enables the console




ADDITIONAL:

-no_texture_stream - Disables streaming textures. Useful if you are using a powerful system that does not lack video memory.

-forcenovsync - Disables VSyns, vertical sync (If you need it)

-precachefontchars and -precachefontintlchars - Cache English and some other characters in advance so as not to have to do this during the game

-cl_forcepreload 1 - Loads the necessary data from the map in advance, so as not to have to do this during the match

Additionally

I want to inform you about an important bind:

bind button "r_cleardecals; clear"

It cleans off bullet holes, black stains from explosions, blood and the console.

To sum up

I collected information from different sites, slightly paraphrased for greater understanding.

Kolaris nah, It's not true. I just checked this and wrote the command -mat_queue_mode 2 in Launch Options. It's working

[Enaemulon]

options like mat_queue_mode need to be added like "+mat_queue_mode x" to the launch options, same for cl_forcepreload

Excellent guide, this helps remind me of the commands when I change to a new, more powerful, device. This paired with custom config helps frame rates significantly.

Go to settings or right click on desktop, display, advanced display and your freq. should be at the bottom.
