I still need to do some testing, but it looks like running Teamspeak and TF2 at the same time causes a lot of slowdown on my machine — especially when I'm playing/near a pyro. Turning down the graphics settings doesn't seem to help, so I'm wondering whether having Teamspeak open while playing is a clan rule.

Any help would be great.

*S*

Hmm. I'll have to do some more testing, it sounds like. I am just using my integrated sound hardware, so maybe that's part of the problem. (I'm kind of a computer newb, but having a dedicated video card should keep that kind of stuff from happening, right?)

Got it figured out, I think. I had to reinstall some Windows components, but it doesn't seem like I have the slowdown issues anymore.
