Team Fortress 2 is an incredibly optimized game, which means that it does not take much to run it. However, if you want to play competitively and want a high framerate so you don’t run into issues like input lag, you will need a decent gaming PC. But not every gamer has a gaming PC that can deliver over 140 frames. Some gamers prefer to play Team Fortress 2 on their laptop. Not to worry, as there are plenty of ways that you can run Team Fortress 2 on a slow computer.
First of all, you will need to optimize your computer for gaming performance. The first step is to close all unnecessary applications that you know you are not using. For example, what’s the point of opening up all those chrome tabs when you are about to play a video game. Close them so some of the resources of your computer are freed up and can be allocated towards Team Fortress 2. The next thing that you should do is go to the power options of your computer and set it to High Performance.
Now that your computer is optimized, you will need to optimize your in-game settings. If you are having trouble running Team Fortress 2 on your slow computer, then you should turn all the graphics settings down to low. If that doesn’t help, try reducing the resolution to 720p from 1080p. After tweaking for a while, you will be able to run Team Fortress 2 on your slow computer.
