well, i found few configs that MIGHT do something

http://pastebin.com/bPr62aS9

try them

Snake oil.

– threadpool_affinity sets (yes, you guessed it) the thread affinity, not the number of cores to use. Leave it alone.
– mat_managedtextures allows Direct3D to manage textures. Regardless of whether this increases memory or not, it *increases performance*, Using more memory is a tradeoff for that end.
– r_drawbatchdecals draws decals in batch. Why on earth would you want to disable drawing decals in batch…? Batch drawing decals will increase performance.
– studio_queue_mode (IIRC) threads certain particle effects, but it wasn’t stable the last time I tried it. Probably not worthwhile in any case.

Ok, found few other commands, again, dont know if they gonna help, but it does something with Particles, Memory usage and Models

p.s: try disabling your Multicore Rendering, because i noticed that FPS is practically the same, but its less Choppy. In L4D2, Multicore rendering is disabled, it says it might cause “Uneven Framerate”, maybe it works the same for Tf2…Anyway, try disabling Multicore rendering, see if it does anything to you

The effect of multicore rendering depends drastically upon the system. I wouldn’t recommend wholesale disabling it, or wholesale enabling it. Try it and see.

– r_particle_sim_spike_threshold_ms (IIRC) sets the spike time for particle system timeouts. Leave it alone.
– cl_particle_batch_mode — again, why would you want to disable batch processing?
– mat_postprocessing_combine merges AA and CC into one postprocessing pass. They’re both already disabled in the config, this will have no effect. Even if it wasn’t disabled, you’d probably want it set to on.
– r_maxmodeldecal sets the maximum decals visible on a single model. IIRC “0” at least used to cause crashes. Try “1”.

Most threaded cvars other than mat_queue_mode have been disabled, they have no effect at all.

Hey, i’m having alot of problems.

When i download the config ZIP from the website, all i get is a list of the configs (in the format of File, no specific type) and a folder containing “Linux installer” (in the form of “File” , not an exe or anything, just File)

I figure just change the config i want to autoexec

the file isn’t useable, so i’ll open it in Notepad and copy the stuff over

Everything is cramped into the first lines instead of separate lines

Maybe Notepad++

They’re all on separate lines now
copy over to regular notepad

They’re cramped in the first lines

I have no idea what to do

Try adding

mp_usehwmmodels -1
mp_usehwmvcds -1
engine_no_focus_sleep 0

to your config, see if it increases FPS
engine_no_focus_sleep 0 should increase FPS

..

engine_no_focus_sleep 0 makes tf2 much smoother if streaming so its not only fps when alt tabbed improvement…

I’ve been watching for new things to improve the quality of my game and i’ve found theses : http://pastebin.com/J5G1inzE (top are new commands, and bottom are change to the actual maxquality)

Should I keep them, or keep the maxquality?

“mat_drawwater 1” – Useless, it’s marked as Cheat, remove
“mat_colorcorrection 0” – Set to 1
“cl_shadowtextureoverlaysize 512” – Remove/Cheat
“cl_interp_threadmodeticks 1ss” – This Cvar was removed
“mat_picmip -10” – -2 is max
“r_lod -5” – -2 is max
“r_rainradius 8096” – cheat
“r_rootlod -10” – -2 is max

keep Maxquality

Thanks for answering.

I’m just asking, are the others command useful or should I remove them too?

(and, another question : does someone have a maxquality config for demos? The config with PLDX and Lawena Recording Tool is just a copy of and old maxquality)
