fps_max in config does nothing

so i use tf2mate for a crosshair switcher, and for some reason fps_max isn't capping my frames. i've got 'fps_max 300' in both my autoexec.cfg and the settings.cfg execed from my autoexec. When I first launch tf2 in console when I type in fps_max the value is coming up as being 0. i wouldn't really care, but getting 500+ frames on jump maps makes the game really stutter a lot.

do you have a setting in one of your class configs that overrides it?

ex: fpx_max 0 in your soldier.cfg

i can't check right now, but i don't believe so. my class configs only contain interp info and some tf2mate related stuff

Ctrl+f fps_max in autoexec and every cfg autoexec calls. It's set to zero somewhere in there.

had a similar problem but i realised that nothing i write to my autoexec.cfg updated ingame

later found out that i had my autoexec.cfg in two places: Team Fortress 2/cfg and Team Fortress 2/tf/cfg

i always updated the one in /tf/cfg, and the file in Team Fortress/cfg was the one really connected to my game

also try -autoexec in properties
idk does it work

yeah i had issues with that too just copy your autoexec into the correct place or else tf2 won't be able to find it

The rest of my cfg works, though, and none of it is in my custom folder (to my knowledge). i'll try that out when i'm home

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd i'm an idiot. Literally 20 lines below where I put the fps_max command in was chris' fps cap section, which unsurprisingly contained "fps_max 0". removing that has got me capped at a cool 299

thanks everyone
