Textures Skyboxes & texture packs. Add Texture Category. Global Offensive 83 Team Fortress 2 82 Sonic Adventure 2 67. It was something along the lines of that - many config guides told the user to set picmip to -10 to get the highest quality textures. But, if you didn't have a good GPU, your game would crash out of the blue (periodically).

Greetings /r/TF2!
Long story short, a few friendly folks at Facepuch (namely UserNotFound and Nicknine) have dug up old versions of TF2 from the content depot and put together a copy of the game that is exactly like it was in 2007!
Yes, that means you will, once again, get over 100 fps! And yes, there is mat_picmip -10! The Pyro sucks more then ever! All the exploits you loved are back, too! Random crits everywhere. NO HATS WHATSOEVER! cp_lazytown and ctf_convoy! Rapid-fire pistol! Bacon legs! Old menu! gameplay video 1, authentic 2007 experienceTM video
This is perfectly legitimate, because, chances are, you already own the game, and obviously doing this for educational purposes only!
Tf2 High Quality Textures
INSTRUCTIONS
Go grab a client (mirror1, lithium's mirror 2, torrent here) and unpack it into Steam/SteamApps/common/tf2old. You can run it by launching the Start Client.bat file which you can also add to Steam shortcuts.

After doing that, join our group and wait patiently for a game announcement! We play once or twice every day (day and evening), on one of six compatible servers, while desperately pretending it is 2007!

Tf2 Texture Quality Too High
FAQ:
Q: everything sucks ugh why would play this?
A: To get an authentic 2007 experience, obviously! After playing for some time, you will learn to appreciate modern TF2!
Q: Is this legal?
A: Without question!
Q: Is there Goldrush/Badlands/Tournament Mode/Duckies?
A: No! This is 1.0.0.9, the way the game was when it just came out on November 15th 2007..
Q: Does this cross-work with the original TF2?
A: It cross-counts the achievements (you can earn the original 17). You can make a separate account for this, if you do not feel safe.
Q: Are there class configs?
![Download Download](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126061459/645217897.jpg)
A: Per-class config files were introduced in late 2008, so nope.
Q: Why not just edit your server to disable hats, weapons and edit other shit?
A: Because that would be a F2P TF2 from 2014, not TF2 from 2007!
Q: if i have this downloaded will i still be able to play normal tf2?
A: Yes, just extract it into a folder separate from your 'normal' TF2
Q: How do inventories work with this? Did inventories even exist?
A: The inventory was introduced with the Goldrush update, so this version has no unlock whatsoever. You can still trade using steam overlay.
Q: Will any of my items be missing after I download this?
Tf2 Textures Download
A: You will not be able to access the items in old TF2, but they will be untouched in the modern build, because they are kept in Valve's cloud.
Q: Am i able to also play normal tf2 if i unpack the file into common/tf2old? And If i was to delete it, all i would have to do is delete the files that i unpacked?
A: If you unpack it into a different folder, for Steam it would be a separate game entirely.
Q: Can this be run on a Mac?
A: Most likely not.
Tf2 Texture Files
Q: What's your framerate in combat compared to modern TF2?
A: I get over 100 fps on 1.0.0.9 with mat_picmip -10 compared to 50-60 fps on 'normal' TF2 with potato config.
Q: How can I donate to keep this alive and well?
A: Just donate your time whenever you want to...unless other server owners need donations. If so, they can set up a donation form for themselves.
Feel free to ask questions!
