Hello guys! Anyone having the old version of the stability config? I've updated mine recently and now my game is crashing (almost) everytime i join a server. Or when i accomplish to join my local server i get some of the props black. I wanted to test out the gfx config with dx91 and I really dunno what happened with my entire game after that.. If anyone had/have the same problem please let me know how i can fix it. Thanks!

p.p. Adding the configs to github would help many people to report issues and make the configs up-to-date in no time. So if you can consider adding it there. Thanks!

Regards,
LaMqTa

MugnumAny info on what mat_disable_fancy_blending exactly does?

mat_disable_fancy_blending turns off https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$blendmodulatetexture

mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 on the left, 0 on the right:

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/9/9c/Blendmodulate.jpg

pellyx1 more question. Command "cl_ejectbrass 0" should prevent bullets coming out of the minigun, but it doesnt work for me for some reason. Is it be cause of sv_pure 1 or something?

cl_ejectbrass only affects modeled bullet cartridges that are ejected by weapons like the sniper rifle and the shotgun. The minigun bullet casings are a two dimensional particle effect, thus they aren't affected by this command.

I don't think this works because the last time I checked, con_filter_text_out only accepts one variable at a time, so you shouldn't be able to filter out all those words at once.

Correct. It's just a normal cvar, so whatever value you set it to replaces the previous value.

Am I wrong in assuming the max/four cores config isn't as far down as it can go? I see a ton of frag vids with incredibly smudgy textures, whereas these ones are still kinda crisp.

that and some of them are bugged

mat_picmip -1 is a lot crisper than 2 but a lot of people have issues with 2.

plus some other ways that are banned in ESEA and I think etf2l as well.

But there's no actual fps gain? I overshoot 120 at all times during 6v6 but ayy paranoia.

That aside, what could cause the granary containers on mid to appear black? I've only really seen the issue on snakewater and granary, just. Stuff being black.

i actually managed to make it block all those error messages. it also blocks things like kills and chat messages in the console, so i don't know what i actually did, but my console no longer have those insane fast streams of red error messages.

The config is writing successfully from my autoexec (I can turn gibs on/off and the changes will appear in the game) but whenever I boot up TF2 the texture settings + some other stuff default to High/Very High. My first guess was that Nvidia Control Panel graphic pre-sets were overriding the TF2 settings but that doesn't appear to be the case. Any other ideas why this might be happening?

dancquestion

why no r_worldlights 0 in config? makes dx9+ lighting look like dx8
dunno if it adds frames though

added

tf_scoreboard_ping_as_text 1

also added, removed a couple redundant lines as well. Also beginning the search for which command is causing the black props in demos/local servers. I know the command is tied to sv_cheats though.

-edit-
Updated date of last update
also changed
mat_antialias 0 to 1
and
mat_forceaniso 0 to 1
both should be set to 1 now.

Would you ever consider version controlling (git->github) your configs, and can you create a config that is just fps optimization settings without net, hud, etc. settings?

Why was mat_antialias changed to 1? Does it not improve FPS anymore, or is it to stop the screen from lagging out when changing? 'Cus the latter part is fixed by putting +mat_antialias 0 in launch options.

This is a slightly unrelated issue, but does anyone else's demos break when viewing them in mat_aaquality above 0 if they were recorded without AA? So I leave it out of the cinematic config. mat_antialias works fine, though.

My game also doesn't draw the fire overlay anymore. Any thoughts?
