Hey this message was originally posted on the CAL forums by ACS admin FrankS, figured I'd post it here as it may help some people out.

Hey, I've been working on a CAL legal FPS config. This basically makes
your game look like crap, but allows it to run on some pretty worthless
machines.. Give it a try if you need to, if anything needs to be
changed, or you have some problems you need help with, send me a PM
through the CAL site or on IRC in #caleague-tf2.
There is a DX 8.1 version, and a DX 9 version, use the one you prefer/need.To use these configs, create a .txt file, copy the config into it, and
save it as autoexec.cfg. Place the autoexec.cfg file into your TF2 CFG
folder(default- c:/program files/steam/steamapps/your@email/team
fortress 2/tf/cfg). After you have done this, add into your config.cfg
at the very end "exec userconfig.cfg"(Same folder). Close and save it,
then right click config.cfg, click properties, then check the
"Read-Only" box, and save/close it. You will then be able to use your
FPS CFG.

What's Netcode Settings? Since I don't know what it is I don't know if I should put in numbers or something eles...
|
Same, I want to use them but I don't know what I'm suppose to do with Netcode settings or Misc settings.
Also, does the direct9 version have the player models reflect light? Like this http://www.vimeo.com/1083806
|
Yes Fanlaen, but it's not directx9 alone, it's also the video settings in the config. (This goes way farther that adjusting your video settings in game)
|
Just how craptacular does this make the game look? Is it really worth it or only as a last resort?
|
how do you execute a command? does it automaticaly do it when you start the game? EDIT  k you have to type it, but it makes the game retarted. all the textures turn black lol, only the props and people exist. dont do it unless you cannot run the game. my frames didnt even improve that much
|
I have DX10 pc but my video ram falls short to what is recommend to play this game. I'm on a laptop for your information, and I have a 128MB of videoram.
|
You should be able to run it by only inputting some of these commands and mat_dxlevel 81
