TF2 definitely looks amazing, but it very much does not perform amazing - at least, not anymore.

Source really wasn't built for the amount of particles present in the cosmetics (especially the "Unusuals")

Ah, you mean modern cancer. Solution is to return to pre 2012 era, not try to bandaid disease.

They ported it to 64Bit proper last year, and that helped performance on modern systems a bunch! Of course, it's still a far cry of being able to run on the hardware of the time it came out in 2000.
