I have a problem with TF2

[Vongore]

Well... i'm at my parents now, and they bought a new computer, canyourunit said i can run the game in low so i installed it. Downloaded the latest  drivers, latest Directx, changed the Launch options to "dxlevel 80", and everything needed so the game would run on the lowest quality

But when i run the game, the PC restarts, without any error, it just restarts, sometimes, the game freezes (but the pc still works behind). Surfing the interwebs i found thta i had to change the launch options to "autoconfig", but still nothing :<.

Anyone can help me? i dont want to spend my weekends without my daily dosis of TF2

Thanks

Vongy

what kind of computer is it, and what kind of power supply do you have in it? Does it do that whenever you try to run any newish games, or just TF2?

incorrect dxlevel command

-dxlevel 81

I would suggest you use the high fps config link on that page, will greatly help. If it gets rid of things you really want, just message me and I'll tell you how to fix it. Make sure you use the launch options in the comment above it, it helps. Make sure you use the heapsize for your RAM. Heapsize just makes sure that Source doesn't try to take up more RAM than you have.

Holy shit that's ridiculous.

Also that hud looks pretty amazing.

Yeah I'm not really a personal fan of things obstructing my view in the middle of the screen, I don't even use viewmodels. So it is really a good one for my preferences.

Also, Vongore, you can also use -dxlevel 71, I don't think it makes much of a difference from 81, but it may help.

Thanks, i'll try as soon as i'm at my parent's again
