Random fps lag spikes

* How you encountered the issue

Recently, if even one pyro is on the server… (I still don’t know for sure if thats why) I get lag spikes from 60 to 24 fps… It might be the extremely poor optimization on Valve’s part, but i’ve heard Comanglia’s http://www.teamfortress.tv/25328/comanglia-s-config-fps-guide config helps out with these huge lag spikes; people have said that mastercomfig does not help as good. (for what ever reason) But, I don’t feel like switching configs. (this is more updated). Before the update i’ve had no lag spikes like this, where fps suddenly drops to unplayable frames (sometimes 8-19!) for sometimes 20 seconds! * Config version Latest * Config preset(s) Max performance, igpu * Custom values (if any) fps_max 60 //so my laptop does not burn up * DX levelnoticable 90 * Launch options -nojoy -console -full -w 1280 -h 720 -novid -dxlevel 90 -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores -limitvsconst -force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180 * Operating system (OS) Linux; Ubuntu 16.04 * Graphics card (GPU) Intel® HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) * Processor (CPU) Intel® Celeron® CPU N3060 @ 1.60GHz × 2 * HDD or SSD SSD * RAM size in MB or GBDisscussion 3.8 GB

Many others have been experiencing this. (could use your help though for the time being; maybe it’s something Comanglia set, that you did not, idk).

More lag issues: https://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/0/1480982338953497145/ Disscussion It’s defiantly noticeable lag when your fps_max is 60. Btw, the highest tf2 most of the time runs at is 60-70 fps (with out cap)

I tried that before I found out about the ‘vendor/device’ fix–did not work.

I’ll try again…

Ok so it kinda worked… kinda. The random lag is gone (mostly), but now there is systematic lag. Everytime the console spams this (often)–the whole game lags to unplayable frames.
