TF2 Running on eeePC 1000H

Because I couldn’t find any decent guides to getting TF2 running on an eeePC and I was quite sure there should be someway to do it, I went about making my own.

–

Steps to get it working.
1. Install Steam and TF2 as per normal
2. (Probably optional) upgrade bios to v1005 (probably not required but I did it first and it can’t hurt your chances…) – found here: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePC/EeePC1000H/1000H_ASUS_1005.zip
3. Install the newest graphics drivers for the 1000H – found here: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePC/EeePC1000H/VGA_XP_080630.zip

4. in the steam games menu right click on TF2 and click ‘properties’ then ‘launch options’ and add the following: -fullscreen -nosound -novid -console

5. create an autoexec.cfg file under

<path to steam>\steamapps\<your steam username>\team fortress 2\tf\cfg\

with the autoexec.cfg in this post: autoexec.cfg

6. Startup tf2
7. Go into Options – Video and change all settings to lowest (if unsure, the top option)
Note: this can take about 2 minutes to apply the settings, be patient.
8. Play!

I’m currently getting up to 30fps with this config indoors and around 10fps outdoors.. its still a work in progress.

Notes:
running without -nosound was giving me an error every startup when it got to “creating sound cache” please let me know if you find a way to fix this.

DISCLAIMER ALERT — I’m not going to be in any way held responsible for anything you break/stuffup on your own computers, you do this at your own risk.

More pictures and a video to come.
