Alright, this is getting insane.
I have Chris's config installed, max frames. I walk out of spawn on a 24 man Badwater server with rather low ping (40). My team is already at the 4th checkpoint, far away from the action, hell, I can't even see a teammate.
Anyway, I was walking out of spawn and start to lag. I have a ping check in console. Everyones ping was 30-60, including mine. I check my FPS counter on my top right screen. I see 10 FPS. Now, I may be using a laptop, but the thing used to be able to get decent FPS until the Pan update. Is there anyway I can stablize my FPS to at the very least, a modest 30? |

Nope. Don't use a laptop for gaming is the only advice I can give you. Laptops are good for some things, but when it comes to gaming, desktops is where you wanna go.

Your lucky you held out until this.
I lost most of my fps at manniversery, that was the entire reason I got chris's config. |

What are the specs on your laptop? I use a laptop myself (albeit designed for gaming) and have been getting the same FPS as always, on high settings and without using any FPS boosting configs.

I attach a USB mouse to the laptop. Playing with a trackpad was hell. |

Well, more like a stationary laptop because the backside panel had to be removed and a laptop cooler was needed. I much prefer playing TF2 at around mid-high 70 C than low 90 C. I think I had a minor 1st degree burn on my left hand months ago because one side the keyboard covering the CPU, GPU, and radiator was extremely hot before the laptop became stationary.

I'm by no means an expert, but I would have to say it's your processor. My old computer had a single 1.8ghz processor that could could just barely tun the game, though that was without any FPS boosting configs. If your computer is able to swap processors, I would recommend even a slightly faster one, or if you can't swap processors, which some laptops can't, a newer video card might do the trick.

Knowing what video card you have would be very useful. However so we can know the exact model, you should download the program AIDA64, it shows information about your computer, temperatures, etc.

If possible, a 2-2.5ghz processor should do the trick. Duo cores are best, but I don't think you can put a duo core in a laptop designed for a single core. Your other stats are good, 4gb of RAM is good, and because you have a 64-bit system you could install more RAM. |
