so, ive basically copied around 600 lines of commands from my autoexec.cfg to my config.cfg. The problem is that after a while the config keeps deleting some lines automatically. like when i looked back into it, it had 132 lines of commands. why is it doing that?

config.cfg is not for custom commands it has to be in the autoexec. Most of it is the stuff you see in the Settings tab in game.

I had this problem for the longest time, whenever I closed TF2, config.cfg would just reset to however far back it wanted; I'm guessing it has something to do with Steam Cloud. I just ended up putting anything I wanted changed in my autoexec so at least my changes would be applied while I was playing.

I think I fixed it a few days ago by deleting everything in my cfg folder (back up your important configs of course), then starting TF2 with -autoconfig (and then remove -autoconfig after this), and then just manually changing all my settings to how I want them.
