In-game bug looks like this

https://i.imgur.com/AfbW70y.jpg

I'll try to see if I can spot anything in console.

Nothing medigun-related in console as much as I can see.

mastercomsI believe it works on clients, as clients still split packets if they're too big. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any source code that uses these split packet commands, so I can't be too sure about them.

Have you tried IDA Pro or something similar on the linux/osx binaries to find references to the splitpacket convars?

Hm, that's strange, though are you sure it has to be something with my config? It could be a TF2 bug.

I have done some debugging and a bit of decompiling but it honestly takes a long time to get anything out of it so I haven't looked at much stuff. Hopefully I'll get to figuring out what the splitpacket cvars do eventually.

mastercomspancake_stacksSo what's with the net_splitrate commands? I've read they're only for server-side and useless for clients. And is it tied to the rate command, as they're both the same in your cfgs.I believe it works on clients, as clients still split packets if they're too big. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any source code that uses these split packet commands, so I can't be too sure about them.

The two rates for normal packets and splitpackets are the same for simplicity because rates are dependent on your Internet connection, and it is easier to adjust the rates as one value according to your upload speed, rather than mess around with trying to optimize the two rates individually for a lot of different upload speeds.

Have you looked into testing with the net_showsplits command? I believe it dumps to console how it handles splits.

pancake_stacksHave you looked into testing with the net_showsplits command? I believe it dumps to console how it handles splits.

IIRC I did, but it was too spammy to give any useful information. Could be wrong though, it was more than a year ago since I used network debugging to test things.

These are my final results:
Comp quality

2639 frames 34.502 seconds 76.49 fps (13.07 ms/f) 6.272 fps variability

Overall the comp quality pretty much matches Comanglia's stability, I'm gonna stick with this config.

Viviis the comp.cfg supposed to be used with another cfg as it seems to have a significantly smaller amount of console commands compared to the others

Comp.cfg is an addon to your main Comfig that changes some settings due to specific situation (e.g comp.cfg is more for competitive players, obviuosly). It should be executed right after the main part of the config

I installed your config but when I opened the game the fog seems thicker.

Launch Options:

-novid -nojoy -high -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -reuse -primarysound -threads 2 -nogammaramp -disable_d3d9_hacks -usetcp -softparticlesdefaultoff -snoforceformat

Can you help? The only way to remove this fog is to use comangliacoms config (toaster preset) back or set sv_cheats to 1 and set fog_enable to 0 and fog_override to 1.

I tried to set r_pixelfog to 0 but it still doesn't work.

I'm using my custom.cfg preset btw.

Specs:
1280x720

Remove -disable_d3d9_hacks
Also you shouldn't put -threads in any value lower than 4 so its probably better that you remove it

Since this weekend my desktop is dual boot Windows 10/Linux. Once i'll be on win, i'll benchmark there too.
Having tf2 on SSD on win and on HDD on linux shouldn't invalidate the benchmarks, right? SSD is just about loading times afaik

I've HUGE fps drops on linux while playing MGE on mge_training_v8_beta4b:

7257 frames 60.088 seconds 120.77 fps ( 8.28 ms/f) 50.627 fps variability

i know @mastercoms plays on linux too... any idea of what it could be?
If i play even one match of mge, i have to restart tf2 or i'll have those fps drops in all other maps too

You should be putting the mastercomfig and mastercomfig_exec folders into your tf/custom folder. They do improve framerates and load times.

gl commands won't work on Windows.

Not really, atleast for me.

I might actually try again if there are any effects.

EDIT: Nothing at all.
EDIT2: One question btw, is there any commands that will make my game look blocky? I can use the toaster preset from comangliacoms and get blocky textures.

It won't affect benchmarks since those are local. You'll have to test in an actual multiplayer game.

The maxperformance preset will make it look like that. The commands that cause it are mat_filtertextures 0;mat_filterlightmaps 0.

Just remove cl_interp 0.

mastercomsFreudAlso, is the tickrate in TF2 66 or 66.66...? (ie, is the minimum interp I should use 0.01515... or 0.015?) Again, I recall reading differing advice on this.
TF2's tickrate is 66. So, if you have cl_interp_ratio set to 1, and cl_updaterate set to the max of 66, you'll get a cl_interp of 0.01515151515.

From console when creating local server:

SV_ActivateServer: setting tickrate to 66.7

Are you sure the tickrate is 66? This seems strange if that is the case.

comfig.cfgnet_compresspackets 0 // Remove CPU load from network packet compression
//net_compresspackets 1 // Compress packets on weaker CPUs or on <2.4Mbps stable upload

Two things:

  • The comments here seem unclear. net_compresspackets 0 removes CPU load from packet compression, yet you recommend net_compresspackets 1 for weaker CPUs?
  • You seem to be using settings that reduce CPU load at the cost of increasing network usage? (Again, the comments are a bit unclear.) Are there settings that could be used to do the opposite - reduce network usage possibly at the cost of increased CPU load?

Seeing as you were talking about networking,

Freudie, is the minimum interp I should use 0.01515... or 0.015

my answer was correct. You can only send a max of 66 snapshots every second, since it's impossible to send 2/3 of a snapshot. The fact that the server ticks slightly faster is irrelevant.

FreudThe comments here seem unclear. net_compresspackets 0 removes CPU load from packet compression, yet you recommend net_compresspackets 1 for weaker CPUs?

Yes, because disabling compression increases the number of split packets you'll have to send, which by default are sent on another thread. If you have a weaker CPU, it would be better to use compression to avoid splitpackets whenever possible.

FreudYou seem to be using settings that reduce CPU load at the cost of increasing network usage? (Again, the comments are a bit unclear.) Are there settings that could be used to do the opposite - reduce network usage possibly at the cost of increased CPU load?

My settings don't do one or the other. It balances CPU load and network usage where it is useful for performance and network performance.

Besides, network usage and CPU load aren't inversely related, except for this one example with packet compression vs splitpackets, and even then the relation is not very clear most of the time.
