This is my personal and opinionated Team Fortress 2 config with a focus on modern performance, quality of life improvements, and competitive integrity. It is also intended to work well on 4K displays (I use one).
- Valve Servers: I have no idea what works and what doesn't with it as I don't play Casual and you shouldn't either. Most things should work with the preload launch option.
- Sensitivity: I set my sensitivty automatically in my autoexec. To set yours, edit line 161 to match your sensitivity.
- Viewmodels: I use Horsie's Viewmodel Editor to selectively show and hide some viewmodels.
- Voice Chat: This config automatically unbinds the default voice chat key (v). You will want to rebind it to a different button or adjust the lines that do so.
- Demos: Demos are automatically created on every game in the
tf/demosdirectory. You will want to edit ds_prefix to match your username. - HUD: I use my modified m0rehud that puts the team status on the bottom of the screen. If you do not like this, you can install base m0rehud and configure it yourself.
- FPS: I uncap TF2s FPS and cap my FPS using RivaTuner to be 3 frames below my refresh rate. This reduces screen tearing and lowers input lag. For me, this is 141Hz.
Adjust your resolution as needed. After the first boot, you should remove -dxlevel 95.
