TOOLS & CONFIGS

GENERAL/PERFORMANCE
I also use mastercomfig as it is excellent. Essentially if you are still playing this game, and you're not using mastercomfig... how does your game even work? Thank you very much @mcoms for the extensive work you do that makes the experiences of normal players much, much, much easier.

HUD
For huds I use the TF2 Hud Editor by @criticalflaw -- the creator of a ton of everyone's favorite huds as well as just a very helpful member of the community. I haven't met you sir, but I would love to, and I hope you're doing well. Your huds and now this excellent tool are very useful. Thank you!

LAUNCH OPTIONS

Here are my launch options, do with them as you will.¹

-w 2560 -h 1440 -noborder -windowed -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -noquicktime

PRELOADING

DISCLAIMER
This is NOT supported, endorsed, or tolerated by Valve Software, and I do NOT endorse its use.

So if you still want to preload so that you can use your custom models or whatever .vpks you've got that don't make it past sv_pure, you've got to find a copy of preload_room.bsp, which I unfortunately do not have for you as I do not use this. However, if you look, you might be able to find it somewhere online.

After obtaining this map & placing it into your tf/maps folder, you can use these two lines (from my autoexec) to preload. They must be placed into your autoexec.cfg script, preferably as close to the top as possible.
^{NOTE: Hitsound/Killsound/Audio preloads in general are... finicky. YMMV.}

// BYPASS SV_PURE
sv_allow_point_servercommand always
map_background preload_room
