TF2 problem

[H4X3R]

So about 2 months ago i noticed some weird lags and stutters in TF2. I thought nothing of it for the first month as it only happened very occasionally and for a short time (1 second or less) but now it is much worse and sometimes causes the game to crash.

 

What i have done so far:

 

1) Verified game cache:

                         This led nowhere because every time i checked (after playing and then crashing) 1 or 2 files were missing and had to be reacquired. Note: it seems this is the problem but i don't know which files are missing

2) Re-installing TF2 (deleting local content first):

                         Didn't work, had same problem as stated above.

3) Making my CFG less cluttered:

                         Didn't help either.

 

I will make a short clip with my phone soon. If you need my cfg (to inspect the problem) just let me know and i'll upload it.

 

I would really appreciate a fix for this problem as i play tf2 as my MAIN hobby and it would suck "BIG TIME" if i couldn't play it anymore.

 

UPDATE:

 

4) Run chkdsk and memcheck

 

5) put dxlvevl 81 in launch options

 

6) Re-installing drivers

 

7) Re-installing direct x (windows wise)

Run memory diagnostics and checkdisk.

And reinstall DirectX versions in the game too, they can occasionally cause problems.

On it (chkdsk).

I have an issue though, i can not get any memtest to run.

Are you running game in windowed mode? Because that causes it to stutter for me. So my options are stutter in windowed and crash everytime I Alt-Tab with full screen.

Nope. Tried windowed and fullscreen (and windowed borderless).
