i’m sorry i don’t fully understand you. one opens tf2 in a window the other one fullscreen. that works. when in create a shortcut from within the steam library, they are like this:
steam://rungameid/440
but then parameters get ignored.
are my only options to enter the parameters within steam and stop using windowed mode or leave it like this with the black screen flashing.
i don’t want to waste your time and it’s not a real problem but i would like to understand why it happens.

ok so i removed the launch parameters in the steam options. i didn’t touch any options in your graphconf.cfg. i deleted anything else from my autoexec except calling your graphconf.cfg. i deleted the config.cfg so i get a fresh one.
then i started the game from the steam library not from a shortcut. and still the resolution gets changed from 1920*1080 -> 1920*1080 with the black screen flash.

and i don’t think that having -fullscreen and -w 1920 -h 1080 in the parameters is ambiguous, so i still don’t know what you think is ambiguous in my parameters. (but again it’s happening also without parameters)

Try removing mat_antialias 0 from the FPS config. Worked for me.

Couple things, new DX9 config makes the game look different to my old (August version) DX9 config.

Is it because it’s now -dxlevel 95 not -dxlevel 90? Why did you change this?

I don’t like the change, things are less crisp/clear now. Small difference but noticeable.

Second thing, what does cl_pred_optimize really do? I typed it into console but the description there makes no sense to me, can someone explain in plain english?
