For the past couple of months, I've noticed my load times for TF2 getting slower and slower. Specs:
Vista
Q6600
3GB RAM
GTS 250
I'm trying out a few solutions I'm finding online (creating a scan exception to that ever-changing TF2 file, etc.) but saw something mentioned about deleting everything in your Steam/steamapps/username/team fortress 2 folder. Supposedly it clears out a bunch of crap (customized sounds, maps, of which I have little to none). Question: since I don't have all that other stuff clogging my game, would it really help to delete that folder and start fresh? Clarification - I don't have a problem with FPS, my vid card and RAM are doing fairly well, it's just my load times. I've not tried reformatting the HDD, although I defrag very often.
TL;DR - Speeding up TF2 load times by deleting TF2 folder?
