• Use TF2 FPS configs, these are completly "legal" to use and will improve your fps
  Heres some good ones:
  • CowManglia's fps guide[www.teamfortress.tv]

• There is a way to increase FPS without tweaking the in-game settings.You need to tweak your antivirus though.
  
  Credit goes to this thread.
  
  First,look up whatever antivirus you use on the internet.Look up how to block the antivirus from scanning certain files you choose. Then,locate that place in your antivirus and block the following directory:
  
  C:\Program Files (x86) or Program Files\Steam\appcache\stats
  
  Block the antivirus from scanning that folder

• Check for and/or stop/pause any active downloads in your device and/or in any other devices that is connected to your network
  
  
• Use a wired connection if possible
  
  
• Set steam to pause all downloads while ingame
  
  
• Try restarting your conection and/or modem/router
  
  
• Check the location of the server that you're playing on to see if the lag is because of the distance between your device and the server
  
  
• Try youtube videos, explaining cl_interp and cl_cmdrate to help figure out what settings you should have.

If you have fps problems with gun mettle skins, there are two options. Either turn them off entirely with directx 81 or set mat_picmip to -1.

If you want to increase more FPS, here's some things if you want to look them up

No Hats mod (Some people said this mod doesn't increase Fps. but i'm not sure)
Oldschool pack (Makes your graphics like Nintendo 64)
Clean TF2 (I'm not sure if this can increase your FPS, but makes the textures flat. Also, this mod can be use as a cheat in Slender Fortress server)
DanPixed's MaxFPS (Makes your graphics look more pixelated)

Screen Resolutions

This has something to do with FPS, but it doesn't matter if you have a better laptop or a better computer. I'm doing the Aspect Ratio, so i don't list the resolutions but they're together inside them.

4:3 Low Fov, Highest FPS
16:10 Middleground for both
16:9 High Fov, Lowest FPS

Which Hud has the most FPS?

Well, Huds doesn't do with FPS, but there's one that has to do with FPS.
My answer is: Ray's Hud

Problem: whitescreen with directx 8
Solution: you have the transparent viewmodels mod. Remove the mod from your custom folder, directory being "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom".

Not really common questions but :

I can't see my weapon skins ? Help! :
Switch to Dx9

Some hats have flame textures in them , why is this ?
Again , switch to Dx9

Help! Australium weapons looks like they're covered in cheese!
mat_phong 0 , removes the greyish shine on your character , but it also makes australium look completely gold , there's a fix pack but I don't think it's updated
