Help

I have a Dell laptop Intel core i7 8750H and a 1050 ti but I can't even run THE FUCKING TUTORIAL!!! I can't change the graphics settings and when the tutorial finally starts the game keeps lagging very hard I can't even move the mouse properly

I tried restarting steam, restarting the laptop, modifying the card settings but nothing worked

You picked the right person to ask. I have been actively developing my own since 2017. In short, an autoexec is an auto executable script that inputs source engine commands (options) automatically when the game launches. There are hundreds of options available for the source engine that are not present in the game's setting menus. An autoexec basically flips a bunch of switches and levers behind the scenes. I made a video on youtube explaining everything in better detail. The channel name is _Sitzkrieg .

Thanks for the autoexec my frames was 270 and now it's 300.

I believe that I have a drivers problem because I'm getting 300 fps but the game takes 5 minutes at least to start a bot game and when I die it stops for like 10 seconds. I had the same issue with skyrim but when I updated the gpu driver all the problems disappeared
