Thanks again,
dxdiag

If it turns out to be too much of a time sink to figure out, I can live without the shadows, at this point I'm just glad the game works.

classic tf2 tbh

speedy did it to me smh

i actually had not tried the fully default config:
launch options: your default recommended and -high -w 800 -h 600

log appears to be exactly the same for all crashes

with mat_dxlevel 95 as default:
-with your base launch options: no crash
-with the above + compquality and igpu (i'm on an integrated graphics laptop): insta crash
-just compquality: crash
-just igpu: no crash

switching to mat_dxlevel 81:
-default config, no compquality or igpu: no crash
-with compquality as the only change: insta crash
-with igpu as the only change: no crash

looks like it's the compquality preset

then i made some changes i thought prudent to my laptop, as it has 2 physical cores

// core related:
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 0
r_queued_ropes 0 
snd_async_minsize 262144
snd_mix_async 0
phonemedelay 0.1
// shadows related:
r_shadows 1
r_shadowrendertotexture 1
cl_blobbyshadows 0
// etc
r_drawtracers_firstperson 0
sv_allow_point_servercommand always

on dx 81:
-with the above changes: insta crash
-reverting just the shadows changes: no crash

dx 95
-switching directly to dx 95 with the above changes but the shadows as you had them default: no crash
-turning shadows on: no crash, interestingly enough

so my conclusion is that shadows on dx 8 crashes and compquality crashes on both dx 8 and dx 9

for now i guess i'll just run mat_dxlevel 95 so i can have shadows or switch back to mat_dxlevel 81 no shadow if the look is something i can't get used to, because i don't really like the way rockets look in dx 9

i also appear to be able to safely turn off gibs and stuff so i'm ok for now, but i do want to know what's wrong

edit: not sure what's wrong, i was pubbing and shadows on were ok,but i joined a pugchamp on product and instantly crashed every time i joined until i turned off shadows

my game crashes when i change these three settings and try to load certain maps like cp_coldfront

edit: actually something in the config now consistently crashes my game on map load
i deleted my custom folder, stuck the config in the way i had it before and the game continued to crash
edit2: i tried rolling back to other versions of this config, even tried a comanglia one, but to no avail. the game simply crashes to desktop with no error

how you gonna shit talk charis like this when
1. you and sail literally made this list
2. you two had the audacity to put yourselves on it
3. you didn't even have the courage to post it yourself and made bwelp the object of everyone's hate
4. there is an interestingly high number of your own teammates on the list, when most people opt to avoid ranking their own team/teammates without numerous disclaimers.
5. charis is in fact, a fine medicinal man.

also yes, your rankings are questionable, get over it
you probably knew this too, considering you got bwelp to post them in the first place

acting surprised that people would question obvious bias and lack of thought is laughable

At the same time, someone doesnt need to have made a better power ranking in order to be justified criticising another’s
