Well i like playing tf2 on the pc. My attacks seem to count more then they did on the xbox version. I dont know how to get the game to play better on this laptop. I have the graphics down i think to the lowest setting. but the game still chugs and will freeze when around a lot of enemies who are all firing.
any ideas on how to make the game play better.
P.s. I have very little to no knowlege of computers.
Here are two great things to try that I use when I don't feel like being constrained to my desktop.

put this file here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\(place your steam login name with no capital letters here)\team fortress 2\tf\cfg
and this low polygon models pack:

unzip the folder and look into it. You should see two folders named "models" and "materials". Put the folders here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\(place your steam login name with no capital letters here)\team fortress 2\tf
There are other cfgs and what not to disable particle and explosion effects, though those aren't as important. Look them up if you think they'll help and PM me if you want more help.

Big problem.
Let me think of a possible solution now --
Okay, right-click on TF2 in your Steam library, choose Properties, General tab, Set Launch Options, and then put -novid and -dxlevel 80 (or -dxlevel 70). This will make TF2 run on DirectX 8, which hopefully will lower lag.
Do this to. Forgot to mention it (Don't use -dxlevel 70. It doesn't work. Just use -dxlevel 80).
