Depends on what kind of stutters you're talking about. Could you get a recording of them? Preferably with net_graph 4

No need. I know what you mean now.

#

What's task manager look like when playing? Anything showing near 100% usage? Cpu? Disk? Memory?

#

probably that u have literally only 2gb of memory

#

probably paging tf2 mem to disk 💀

#

please dont ask about performance issues for computers made a decade ago jeez....

#

like obviously it will stutter

#

no

#

that thing is basically a netbook

#

i mean freeing up memory will help but it still wont be able to run tf2 smoothly

#

easily double the speed of what you have

#

slap arch linux onto that bad boy too you got a real budget performance bad boy right ther'

#

it uses less memory than windows so you'd get more mileage out of 8gb of memory

#

if you wish, although steam's no longer getting updates on windows 7

#

but as felix argyle mentioned, you'll still probably be getting stutters no matter what you use since your hardware is limiting

#

i'd recommend you use the low or very low mastercomfig preset with the low-memory addon (and other addons if you want)

warm raptor
#

then yeah you could try running through the os optimizations and/or using tiny7

#

i don't think that'll work with tf2

#

or steam for that matter

#

or well, it might work with steam but definitely not tf2

#

but you can try if you wish

#

well you kinda need steam for tf2

#

and if steam doesn't work, then that's probably indicating that the os is missing a bunch of dependencies that both would use

#

especially with the new 64-bit version of tf2 which would be using a lot newer things

#

tf2 requires steam, it will not run without steam.

you're right

Probably better to built a desktop for that amout of cash with discrete gpu

honestry this post seems like a bit of a troll

We still write for historical consistency for future watchers

#

That 2gb is too low for tf2, laptops are bad for gaming, windows 7 is not to long to not work with steam
