Right-click Team Fortress 2 in your Steam Library and click Properties. In the window that appears, under Launch Options, remove anything that’s in there and paste:

-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -noquicktime -windowed -noborder

into the box.

Why these Launch Options?

  • novid: Disables Valve startup logo, saves time.
  • nojoy: Stops Joystick system from starting up, faster startup and less memory usage.
  • nosteamcontroller: Disables Steam controller system, faster startup, less memory usage and fewer input conflicts.
  • nohltv: Disables SourceTV hosting, less resource usage.
  • particles 1: Limits beam count to the minimum of 512.
  • precachefontchars: Precaches font rendering for common characters.
  • noquicktime: Disables initializing Quicktime. If you use the replay rendering feature, do not use this. Does not do anything on Linux.
  • windowed: Helps with tabbing in and out of the game.
  • noborder: Removes the border from the window.
