I know a lot of people who use mat_queue_mode 2 have a problem where TF2 won’t quit successfully unless you set it back to -1 before you quit.

So I came up with a little fix inspired by KluniQ’s GUI!

Add this line to your autoexec.cfg

alias dualquit “mat_queue_mode -1 ; wait 600 ; quit”

Then extract this GameMenu.res to your Team Fortress 2 directory.

Now when you click quit there will be a slight pause to give the game time to disable the multiple threads, and it should then quit successfully.

You’ll want to have mat_queue_mode 2 some where in your autoexec.cfg so it starts on. :)

I’ve only tested this with 2 other people, but so far no complaints!

Nice 1 although I’ve never suffered from this you put a funny image in my head of someone trying to rage quit but not being able to actually quit :P

cant even use mqm 2 without the game crashing at a laggy/intensive occasion ingame. So if 4 ppl come around the corner and fire some rockets, it fucks up.

same as waebi here :/

I tried this and all that happens is tf2 quits when I try to join a server?

perhaps you put a call to the dualquit alias in your config, so when you join it tries to quit? D:

toasty.

Its not when I join a server actually it just quits straight after it gets to the menu (I’m guessing after 600) :D

I deleted the line in my cfg and now the quit button doesn’t work (lol). Can you tell me what files I need to delete to get the quit button to work?

lol just delete

tf/resources/gamemenu.res

and it should revert to normal

Waebi, I used to have the same crash problem on servers like the saigns.de servers (up to 32 players and instant spawn ) when running dxlevel 80 in the launch parameters, now i just use dxlevel 90 and its fine. Maybe give it a go ?

And thanks for that quit fix, quite handy !

Why not just bind a button to the dualquit alias?

When I use mqm2 and -windowed -noborder, my game is just so laggy altho I have good pings and fps about 80. When I use mqm -1 without -windowed and -noborder ofc, I have fps about 70 wich is good ofc but I’d rather use windowed mode.

Cant this be solved?
fast Alt+tabbing ftw :)
