Damnit, don't spam the thread with a stupid huge fucking quote tree. I'm trying to get help here and it's totally making it impossible to see anything other than your giant red text. Try PM's.
Trying to fiddle with my video settings in TF2 on my new PC to get it up and ready to run.
I have all the latest drivers and all that jazz.
Hardware:
4950 HD Radeon
2.8 Core 2 Duo x64
OS:
Vista Premium x64
No matter what I put my settings to in the game, I get this weird "stutter" where the game is like choking, but not really. It almost looks like it's trying to force motion blur even though I have it turned off, and then it can't, so it just keeps choking.
TF2 is the only game it does this with. I can run HL2 and Portal perfectly fine.
EDIT: Forcing xp sp2 compatibility didn't help.
The quote tree liveth.
Also are you sure it is a 4950 and not a 4850? 4950 is not turning up in my internet searches.
Yeah, 4850 sorry.
It's not overheating. I can run a plethora of games right afterward, including everything Source (except TF2) and everything runs silky smooth.
I started to get a "an error in hl2.exe has forced the program to shut down" (something to that effect) error when I would quit TF2 and no other source games. I just removed TF2 and am redownloading it in steam and seeing if it was just a faulty install or something.
If it was a constant problem in any other game I would say it could be heat or something wrong with hardware but everything I have on the machine runs excellent except it.
EDIT: Reinstalling didn't work.
EDIT2: Found some stuff on the hl2.exe stopping working. Someone put some instructions that are posted on like every message board on the web on how to add some permissions for it. Doesn't work for me. I try the command line stuff and I get an error 5 access denied. I can't for the life of me find the user settings in premium to do it through menus.
EDIT3: Dumped everything Steam/Source off my PC and doing a totally clean install of it, seeing if that helps.
Quoting myself again!
So I joined some different servers and it appears this only happens on Jobs server (of the PA servers). JonXP's works great.
So what could this be?
yeah, I was on job's earlier (mostly because votealltalk works on it) and I was like "dizam this shit is jumpy", so I look in my settings and I'm like "huh, nothing's changed". I restart the game, blah blah, fiddle around, still there. So I'm like, "k, I'll try one of my other favorite server--wtf it works fine here"
so in short
job's is borked
Might be something inbetween you and the server. It would be worth the trouble to get a program like pingplotter to find out.
I am sick and tired of message bombing people when I am trying to get a TF2 game going.
Therefore I have designed a group where like minded TF2 players (just like you!) can get together and plan a play session since everyone is busy with L4D.
Start a quote tree if you want into my inane, pointless, group and I will start inviting people.
Edit: VERY LARGE AND LOUD ATTENTION GRABBING TEXT (I forgot to add this part at first, sorry)
Warning: Anyone who joins the group can make announcements or plan events. You just need to be invited (again by anyone) to get in.

Instead of starting a new group, why not use the honc group that already has 140 people in it?
nah, i didn't cool it, but when me and you played yesterday it was running perfectly fine. and i had a good connection to the server we used because most of us were in the uk... so that leads me to think its a connection problem. thats why i said i think you were wrong, not thats you actually were wrong..
i might try cooling it too though if i get the problem again. I'm gonna see if my laptop will run without the battery in it, but with the power adapter plugged in. because the battery gets pretty damn hot..
If you're receiving choke and bad packets, it really fucks your fps over. This happens with me too when I play on jobs/jonxps, on 24 players my fps dips down to 15, but on uk servers, my fps rarely goes below 35 on 24 player servers. I suggest you tune down your settings to medium, and on l4d type mat_queue_mode 2. It is alot stabler than the same command in tf2.

Because I do not have admin on it and in this group anyone can post an announcement. It is more for if someone is willing to receive the messages they join the group and set up events/try to start a match whenever they can.
I just want everyone to know that in our match today, mandalore pulled out a sandwich and started munching away with an enemy sniper like 5 feet away from him.

The thing I hate most about playing spy is that eng/sniper melee has a better chance one shotting me than I do them.
Also, I've stabbed and sapped successfully and managed to die to sapped sentries. Make up your fucking mind server. Did I sap it or not? Because if I did, I shouldn't have died.

granted, the spy's odds are low, but the fucking adrenaline kick I get from chaining like 4 backstabs is out of this world
I come bearing gifts. the Medic and the Pyro are old, but I posted them months ago so I'd imagine they've been lost to the ravages of time. I've been meaning to make one for every class update valve does, but I totally spaced on the heavy update. Now, I give it to you!

Is v-sync on?
Yes, always. I have found few games it doesn't improve the visuals for me. I hate tearing. Hate hate hate.
But anyway I figured the problem out. It was just Job's server. JonXP's worked great, so the problem is network, not video. Someone said they had the same problem with Job's today, so well, yeah.

If you did not hit it right then and there then you are gay.
In on this, send me a PM if you guys decide to do this. Playing Hunter in L4D has me fondly remembering the Skulk days.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
Might be something inbetween you and the server. It would be worth the trouble to get a program like pingplotter to find out.
