L.G.C. |How-To| — Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Speed Boost With DX9frames

Time for another quick and dirty how-to from Linux Game Cast. This time we show you a simple hack for speeding up Team Fortress 2 (native) on Linux using DX9frames.

You can use the pastebin link or copy the following.

#!/bin/bash
CONFIG="dx9frames"

if [ -z “$EDITOR” ]; then
EDITOR=”nano”
fi

if [ -z “${1}” ]; then
echo “Usage: ${0} yourusername “
echo “Default config is dx9frames. Editor can be changed with the EDITOR environment variable.”
echo “When the config has downloaded, the script will launch EDITOR to let you uncomment the configuration options you want.”
exit
else
STEAMUSER=”${1}”
fi

if [ -n “${2}” ]; then
CONFIG=”${2}”
fi

wget -q “${URL}” -O “${OUTLOCATION}”

“${EDITOR}” “${OUTLOCATION}”

echo “Chris’ ${CONFIG} config should be loaded now. All that’s left is to add launch options.”
echo “Add the following options to your TF2 launch options (Library>Rclick TF2>Properties>Launch Options):”
echo “”
cat “${OUTLOCATION}”|grep novid|sed ‘s/-dxlevel [0-9]*//g’|sed ‘s/\/\/ //g’
