Thanks bro.
[QUOTE=BeefMcGraw;20999205]What would that be? Sluggish PC? Not me and I reboot maybe once a week ONLY because I need to change something in the BIOS or clear an unrelated problem.[/QUOTE] Well after I finish my textmode idle session I go back to play and it slides down every frame, I just restart TF2 and it works again though.
Been idling all day..only got FAN so far..

For me those are highest quality models and textures with 2xAA and 8xAF, which makes me lag.[QUOTE=BeefMcGraw;20759483][b]If you want to use "-noshaderapi" and not lose your video settings"[/B] 1. Type these two commands in CMD.exe reg export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\tf\Settings video.reg move video.reg c:\ 2. Find "video.reg" in c:\ 3. Put that file anywhere that is convenient. 4. Before you want to [B]play[/B] TF2, double click video.reg. It will restore your video configuration. Note, if you change video settings, you'll have to redo those steps to make a new video.reg file with your new video settings.[/QUOTE]Could be different problem, though.

[QUOTE=a2h;20969793]Is it possible to stop Source Tools from running on startup?[/QUOTE] I would also like to know this.
[img]http://i42.tinypic.com/2yy1pc5.png[/img] in msconfig perhaps?
With the version I've got (pre -textmode), there's a config batch file that allows you to disable the auto-start function.
Im still idling, i've been idling for 3-4 days now. So far i have 2 homewreckers, a modest pile of hat and loads of other weapons. / Tf2items

too bad it doesn't show what is dropped only suicides... right be bad reading if u do notice item drops in the cmd
[QUOTE=GawdOfROFLS;21019337]too bad it doesn't show what is dropped only suicides... right be bad reading if u do notice item drops in the cmd[/QUOTE] You can use an item backpack manager/viewer like Didrole's Item Manager [doesnt work with Steam beta if you launch it after TF2] and jengerer's item manager [only refreshes if you click the refresh button] Or tf2items.com profile [only refreshes once per hour] If you're not compulsive, tf2items.com should suffice to check every ~6 hours.
tf2items with premium account? :O
[QUOTE=Strikebango;21019441]tf2items with premium account? :O[/QUOTE] no, you can view your profile without premium account. It's just updated once per hour instead of once per minute.
i know just saying.
did the halocaust teach you guys anything
Any weapon you're getting is 1/81th of a hat, be happy with what you've got :v:

I've idled for 3 days straight..no hats.
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;21020054]did the halocaust teach you guys anything[/QUOTE] Ya it did. Im not sure you learned the lesson though. [QUOTE=Murdoco;21023340]I've idled for 3 days straight..no hats.[/QUOTE] You're not supposed to expect a hat with 72 hours of idling. It's nice to get a hat, but it is unlikely. The average is something like 130 hours per hat, so a 5-6 days of idling.
oh I know..just saying some progress I guess.

[QUOTE=HyperTails;21028957]I don't get it, because I use that in my launch options, and if I play the game normally afterwards, my video/graphics are fine.[/QUOTE] Then you probably have them set to default.
