Playing TF2 on the WORST Computer Ever Made
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Everyone and their dog claims that Team Fortress 2 can run on even the worst of computers and laptops... or even toasters, but that's just objectively wrong. To prove this point, I dug out my old HP 2000 series laptop with an AMD E-300 APU running Linux Mint (it couldn't handle a fresh install of Windows 10) to prove that there are some devices out there that just can't handle TF2.

Hey man could you make a how to make a network config tutorial? At least that is more general since i know that probably it depends on the router you have.
Bruh that laptop is legit newer than my personal use laptop.
But my pc tho.... Celeron e-1500 with a radoeon hd 6450 and linux. And a hard drive. Oh god im getting ptsd
Oh right, also, source games run AWFUL in old hardware (on linux) mesa drivers just suck so your best bet would had been to use win7 instead lol. Dx8 > openGL
bjblevpjrpebsojvbpjvelenvldtbpidybpdt
Setting it to directx 8 means certain things don’t render which make for more frames. Also ram is your biggest bottleneck
that audio skipping is incredibly nostalgic. that's exactly the experience I remember from installing TF2 like five days after it went free to play and I tried to play it on my 32 bit windows Xp machine that had a tiny saphire video card
same, and i still do use the shittop that uses intel igpu, i3 4th mobile version, 768p display. god i hate that pos
Man I still get the audio skipping on my modern pc during the first few seconds
Quite the banger am I right? It was music to my ears.
managed to play tf2 on a single core celeron on 256mb ddr1 ram and a geforce 6600 with those crazy super low quality cfgs, which doesnt works anymore becasue most cvar are locked
I get it every time I start the game. I still have a 5400RPM 1TB WD Purple drive.
After 7 years of playing TF2 on a laptop, I recently bought my first PC. Instead of struggling to reach 40 frames with bots, I now get upwards of 200-300 FPS on a full server of players. I've had a blast and will never look back.
same lol
Same deal but from 20 now it's 160
You probably could go above 300 FPS if you set fps_max 999 (it is 300 by default)
same shit lmao, on my lenovo laptop i had 10-20 fps on community server with 5 players.
literaly same i have this PC like 3 days xd
WORST computer ever made? I literally started recording TF2 gameplay off a laptop just like this. Except I had 4 cores rather than 2 in my APU.
4 cores is a big difference from 2. Its basically a whole new computer
@@problemtf2532 Back in ye olden days of 2011 when fuck all was multithreaded, yeah, it helped, but at 800-1300 MHz, all I could accomplish was having a web browser open as well or OBS using the shittiest x264 encoder known to man.
I think yes because HP Products are a dumpster fire
2 extra cores make a lot of difference
@@beataoo 2 cores made less difference than a single GHz
That looping sound at the beginning when you join a match just brought back so many memories of playing tf2 on my craptop
brings me memories playing tf2 on a Dell Dimension 4600 on 256 mb ram and GeForce FX 5200 which had 128 mb vram, good times
@@nukkonyan TF2 actually ran on that? Was that soon after the game came out?
@@techsavvycat2584 it was about 2010-2012 ish
had about 50-120 fps average
I still get it to this day as I don't have an SSD.
That's me I'm upgrading but when i get my laptop I'll play TF2 one last time on my shit AIO
I'm surprised that the laptop didn't burst into flames while playing TF2
Yes
Unusual Burning Flames Craptop
Mine only blew like 80% of the time
But it runs tf2 on a solid 60
mine went upto 120 degrees celsius while booting up lmfao
been a while since i've seen you!
7:51
That's not actually voice chat, that's the laptop screaming in agony as it struggles to load the game.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LMAO
Now play TF2 on a Samsung Fridge
This isn’t doom
nah man, play TF2 on McDonald’s kiosk (self ordering machine i think)
@@BreadMaster-rz7ub How will manage that? Hah
You can because fridges uses Android, that someone did source engine on android
He might as well play on a microwave and ban anybody on his server who kill him too much
This feels kinda nostalgic. I'm pretty sure that I'm a pyro "main" nowadays because my Packard Bell laptop forced me to play WM1 back in the day. Good times.
Hello there.
Same, but with Medic.

@@Duck9K GENERAL KENOBI
My first laptop was an HP Pavilion from 2010, and it ran TF2 with a solid 25 fps at all times without a config. Many an hour spend playing on lowest settings on nucleus, good times.
weapon reskins have always seemed like a strange case to me
My first laptop is an HP Pavilion from 2013, TF2 was going 40-70 fps with Medium settings.

Turbine is pretty good too. Since it is all enclosed there doesn't need to be any extra scenery outside of the map
next time i see an horrifc bad player, i will remember that theres the chance hes playing like this.
As someone who genuinely plays like this lmao thank you
10:34 , that audio stutter honestly brings back memories playing this game on an optiplex school computer
My first PC, a Lenovo laptop, would overheat after 5 minutes of game play and crash. I just dealt with it and had fun for the little time I could haha.
im using a shit one rn like worse than the video but i manage to get 20 mins of little fun
I also have a Lenovo laptop that is trash, maybe we shouldnt buy lenovo products at all
@@honario33 lenovo pumps out cheap and low-end products so lots of people buy them
I had an abomination of a laptop
A HP PAVILION G4
with 2 gb ram, intelligent core 2 duo and 100 gb storage
I still remember that I used to play assasins creed 1 on the laptop in 2016, and it would overheat and shut down to save itself from making the popular 8k meme XD
My Lenovo All-In-One just chugged at 12 FPS with a FUCKING TABLET CHIPSET FROM SNAPDRAGON.
i havent tried it, but im convinced my thinkpad x200 with a core 2 duo from 2008 could run this game better
the fact that it's unplayable, even with a moderately lightweight linux setup, is horrible to see
Yeah, I have an x61s that could probably run tf2 sorta decently. Of course, thinkpads usually have way better specs than cheapo consumer laptops.
The AMD E2 processor in Aar's laptop is the equivalent to Intel's Atom processors which were already terrible when they were released and only designed for web browsing
@@efftee that explains a lot. Weren't those just souped up pentium iii's?
@@efftee when a processor uses less power than an LED, you know you're in for a good time
Frankly, if the Linux version of TF2 is less optimized than the Windows version and if the Linux graphics drivers weren't as suitable for gaming as the Windows ones (as I assume that a laptop like this comes with its own optimized drivers pre-installed), then perhaps you'd have seen better results with Windows 8 and the official drivers. This is just a guess, though. I have played TF2 on Linux for testing and I can decidedly say that it runs worse than the Windows version on my main rig. I tired it with both the Nouveau as well as proprietary Nvidia drivers.
Those AMD APU's did not age gracefully. They also didn't start out gracefully either.
This is exactly how i play today, i am going to cry

The funny thing is with horrible craptops is that since there's nowhere to go but up, upgrades are cheap lol

This thumbnail triggers my fight or flight
Used to have a simular laptop back in the day, managed to get it to run around 24fps on low at 1024x600
That’s why I use a config on low, I get 32 frames, it’s the life of a gamer
@@elfasto2255 my actual PC run the game in 30 fps with 1680×1260 but with everthing in low (except the texture and models) But idk why when i put a config in low i have the same fps
@@justdem1490 i get even lower with toshiba satellite lapi 🤧
I now feel much more grateful for my pc, even if I have to play with lower settings to get decent frames :’)
Same.. I mean hey, everyone's start from somewhere
fax. i also have to do that to atleast get 40 fps on a old game.
god your laptop ran better than my old pc, when i was just starting off playing tf2 back in the day. 12 FPS was the AVERAGE framerate i got.
I remember playing tf2 on a levono thinkpad with a 1.8ghz processor, 4gb of ram, and a intel 4000 integrated graphics card (which had 128mb of vram). The agony.
This gave me flashbacks to my old laptop. I don't know how I put so much time in into TF2 with that thing.
This brings back memories, the first pc I got into playing this game on was a Core 2 Duo Optiplex back in early 2014ish. It is also part of what pushed me to build a PC around that time with a comparatively godlike GTX 650. Good memories.
Brings back memories of trying to play TF2 on my Acer Aspire X3200 from 2008, with a Phenom II X3 and Nvidia 8200 graphics. I upgraded it with a Gt 320 that overheated so much I had to play with the side panel off, but at least the game was playable.
I'll be damned, that's the CPU i wanted to buy
Finally, a video I can use to show people what playing TF2 on my PC is like.
:(
L M F A O, this is such a stupidly relatable experience! When I first started playing TF2, I ALSO used an old HP laptop. In fact, the very first few times I played TF2, I didn’t even use a mouse! I used the stupid damn mouse pad to aim! LMAO wonderful video man!
Seeing that laptop brings back some memories. I started playing TF2 with The Orange Box on PS3 pure vanilla, then found out it had years of updates, weapons, hats, and was FREE on PC and got so jealous. This was the same laptop I had when I started my "real" TF2 journey. I remember it running not exactly well, but better than this. Maybe I had a slightly more powerful version of this model, or years of extra particle effects on cosmetics just made TF2 run this way.
it's a good point to mention that when you were playing the game on that craptop, you were probably playing a TF2 that had less particle effects and weapons, meaning the game didn't have to load as much stuff, so that might be why you were able to somewhat play the game
This is what i used to do, 50 % of my time in tf2 is from me playing in 2010-2013 on a old slow pc
2:25 got trickstabbed by an AI spy who disguised as heavy
My first experience was playing on an old Dell laptop with Windows 7. It took like an entire day to install, and half an hour to finally get into a game - kong king, where I played engineer and built a sentry outside of spawn at around 2-4 fps. Ended up getting a newer secondhand laptop a few months after that and finally running tf2 at 40-50 fps with comanglia's cfg. Now I've got a pc :)
I just imagine Dell (Engineer) Upgrading your Computer with his Trusty Wrench 🔧🌚
Definitely your most out there thumbnail
Yeah this is actually exactly my experience with TF2. With configs. One day I’ll afford some form of better computer.
"this machine is so absurdly slow that it would make a snail blush" oh my god i'm laughing so hard right now
I hope tf2 dev team apply team comtress 2, it has qol changes from fixing annoying bugs to improved performance.
There's Tf2 unusuals worth more than his craptop
tf2 for 3ds
I also got a notebook with near-identical specs back in 2012 as a Christmas gift, and I think lots of the lag in the video is definitely from the updates to the game in the past 9 years. I used to be able to play TF2 as pyro on dustbowl on an HP Compaq running Windows XP in 2012, but I highly doubt that the game would even be able to boot on its 1 gigabyte of ram today.
On notebooks the game ran okay-ish in 2012, but with every major update you would actively watch the framerate somehow get lower and lower on the same trade maps that the less fortunate had been restricted to due to their hardware.
The killing blow for me was Gun Mettle, as when that update dropped I remember TF2 being *COMPLETELY* unplayable on suijin and the other new maps, and it didn't help that the newly-added texture streaming destroyed the last semblance of clarity from the textures for everyone on bad hardware. The game was so unmanageable on a notebook by that point that I ended up building a PC inside a cardboard box with money that I scrapped up over the remainder of summer 2015 just to play the game again.
Aar: has an decade old machine.
Also Aar: Install Linux they said, it will be a fine time they say......
i watched the creation of the thumbnail for this and i hated every moment of it
i have a horrendous pc and i get 10-20 fps at the most, i sometimes get spikes uptil 60 fps but it goes down instantly all his gameplay is basically me trying to play
Sounds about how my old laptop ran it back in 2010. Horrendously.
10:55 That voice crack lmao
Now you know how I feel waiting infront of my monitor while nothing happens
That computer was born dead
Still better than my "gaming" laptop
The frustration is relatable u_u
One day I'll escape this laggy hell too...
Good Luck Lad , Good Luck
0:29 That's true. For example I play with amd ryzen 5 3550h, nvidia gtx 1650, 16 gb ram and when I'm on offline server with bots I have like 150 fps in spawn, when I look in the floor I have around 200, when I'm on empty server (no bots, no real players) I have around 250-300 fps, but when I'm on server with bots during gunfight I have around 80 fps. On actual servers with real players I have around 50-100 fps whether I'm in spawn or gunfight. It just pisses me off that I can run css 200-500 fps (actually max I can is 750 fps, but that's on empty server while I'm watching floor) and in csgo 200-250 fps on 64 tick servers and around 130 fps on 128 tick servers. Especially csgo, game looks harder to run while in fact it's actually easier (ofcourse it makes sense cuz it's one of the most competitive games and it gets constant updates so that it can be optimized on any hardware as much as it can). Valve should take more care about tf2, but as far as I see chances that will happen are really low, possibly never.
My computer back in the days of old tf2 plays was running into 10- frames, i was forced to play into the thing for 3 years bruh
Doeshotter (the tf2 bot): That pc is very powerful.
I can't believe I used to play Call of Duty WaW in the exact same craptop, then used for college work (it worked fast for that) and then I killed it when I opened it to clean it. Damn, those HP sucked
Damn thats rough.
2:23 bro got trickstabbed by a robot lmao
Oh man, I didn't know you recorded my current day laptop :D
I have a refurbished 2012 HP Elitebook 8470p with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3320M CPU running @ 2.60GHz with a whooping 8 gbs of D A M N R A M
This baby can run Warframe (on 800 x 600, low and get 60 fps when nothing is happening), Borderlands 2 (640 x 400, low pretty swanky consistent frame rate), and Starcraft II (1080 x 644, low, lags alot). But can't run Team Fortress 2 (audio glitching and lag spikes for no reason), League of Legends (lags everytime I get cs), or Roblox (bluescreen).
Seeing this video just makes me realize that I haven't played tf2 in a while and I love the game but man, valve's lack of communation just bums me out so much that I kinda get turned off on the idea of playing it. Thanks Aar, we love you!
I started playing tf2 in 2015 on a very busted laptop from like 2007-2008 that I ruined by dropping it and actually trying to install a free version of minecraft.
sounds like the cpu was the issue, as well as possibly only 4 gigs of ram (tf2 eats more ram than you think)
at best, an upgrade from the E-300 to a E-450 to add 350 mhz, and adding another 2-4 gigs of ram could've helped... but you'd be better off just getting a different pc at that point if the upgradability is poor. great video!
Oh shit! You're the guy! :o It is a pleasure to discover your RUclips channel, good sir!
Your laptop can't ''breath'' on your bed
this title reminds me of my GPUless 100$ pc, it ran tf2 with a lot of glitches and missing textures, was an absolute mess
I remember first playing TF2 on a prototype Sony Vaio FW Laptop from 2008. I'll never forget the good times I had on that heavy heap of overheating metal.
10:02 That's exactly how my game runs on my crappy 2006 all in one lol
same
My first rig, a Dell Laptop from 2013, permanently throttles its speed because of the one time it overheated and crashed from running onenote.
I always experience this, my problem is with the shitty tiny updates that add tiny event contents that take over 9GB of my memory, it just makes it worse
You call 20 fps unplayable I call that peak performance
i first played tf2 about a year ago on my parents computer that i kid you not used to run windows 7 and my parents don't remember when they got it. now it "runs" on windows 10.
after this tuesday i will no longer have to play like this anymore
6:55 check if you didnt accidentally pressed airplane mode by typing "rfkill list" in terminal
This is funny because that's exactly how I play TF2, on a garbage laptop (except my FPS is like 40% higher)
8:35, favorite moment because of the pure confusion in your voice
And i thought my old pc was a useless piece of tech
"22 fps would be unplayable"
Me with 30fps: ...
1:54 im the scout that died to the lvl 3 sentry gun *shakes fist angrily*
I used an HP Envy tower that my father purchased from Costco. It was Win 8 and it ran an old i5 2nd Gen and a 500GB hard drive.
It ran at maybe 30 fps, but it was my everything.
I saved all my christmas and summer savings and bought a GTX 760 and a PSU, and followed the build guide on LTT. It was a different machine after that.
Must say your patience is much lower than a crab.
You think this is bad? Wait until you see my pc running Minecraft.
I used to play like this on our family pc :/ I mean I still suffering from the low fps, but thanks to mastercoms it slightly helped my gaming experience.
as someone who unironically plays with a 2012 dell laptop, I can say that it isnt as bad as you think, it takes some time to get used to 20 to 12 fps but once you learn the stutter pattern, you can manage it.
although I really cant wait to get a better machine.
2:20 no way you just got trickstabbed by a spy bot
I came for laughs, but I left realizing that my PC is garbage.
update: got a new pc
5:48 I have to say, the iFunny ad of a guy getting beaned in the face was a good mood setter
Damn,those looping audio memories.
WARNING: Do not run your games at uncapped FPS for long periods of time you are killing your graphics card prematurely. That's what I did.
thanks for playing with my computer (literally)

Watching this a year in the future, I always love remembering my old laptop, some old hp computer that I know was most likely just a little better than most chromebooks. My old laptop may have had a better cpu but it used intel hd graphics, no graphics card at all. Luckily modding saved me. This video is great.
That is pretty similar to my experience playing TF2 but a little worse. I have EVERYTHING as low as it possibly can, and still get usually around 10-15 fps.
Can't believe your game didn't crashed. My computer close TF2 when I'm about to join a second server, sometimes even in the first server I join.
I never knew why that happen, sometimes a window appear saying "textures might be too high" but I have every thing at the lowest possible quality
Intel graphics: Hold my beer
Selling craptops to old people that don’t understand what they are buying should be a crime
2:22 Even bots trickstab now I guess
TBH what surprised me the most about this video is how your laptop running a mobile CPU (a pretty good one tho) was extremely close to reaching your main PC's performance while using the same settings.
ahhh man, my old laptop, broken by my own hands when it froze for the 28th time that day. The thing could barely handle youtube. Ahhh the good ol' days
My god, this video reminds me of when back in 2016, I used to play Payday 2 on a shitty notebook at stable *10 FPS.* That includes playing on lowest settings(which also includes inaccessible settings in a menu which had to be changed via equivalent to the config files. My game looked like clay.) AND using mods to increase performance via removal of particle effects and such.
Hello? Yeah i want to report a robbery, my laptop just disapeared-
