Configure Steam: Copy the provided launch options from the website and paste them into the Team Fortress 2 properties in Steam (1:36 - 2:05).
Apply files: Extract the downloaded config files and place them into the `tf/custom` directory of your game files (2:20 - 2:45).
Performance Results:
Without Config: The game struggled with an average of 54 FPS, with a minimum of 30 FPS (3:30 - 3:38).
With Mastercomfig Low: The performance saw a significant boost, reaching an average of 74 FPS (a 20 FPS increase) and a maximum of 122 FPS (3:44 - 4:04).
