I can't preload yttrium's comp viewmodels using this cfg. It crashes on startup every time no matter what. I tried many other cfgs and preloading works just fine. Any possible fixes?

Are you using the beta? If so, preloading is not compatible with one of the memory optimizations. Here's how to fix it.

I am using the newest version of the cfg the command that I use to preload it map_background preload_room; wait 10; disconnect it crashes on startup every time and cl_always_flush_models is set to 0. I tried with 1 too. Didn't work

The latest version causes my screen to flicker rapidly upon startup, and causes the "next map" casual UI's position to glitch, appearing on the far left instead of the center. I'm running on Windows 10 with a GTX 1050 TI (driver version 390.77) and an i7-7700HQ. I'm rolling back to 6.4.0, the screen flicker really hurts my eyes.

mastercomsFor everyone who crashes: what are your exact hardware specs, OS and preset? Also do you use any other custom files/mods?

that's pretty much it.
upd: also dxlevel 81

bigger dxlevels eat a lot of fps for me, i found 81 is a big deal.
but ill try it anyways.

Hi, how does maxquality compare to vanilla TF2? Does it have an equivalent graphical quality with better performance, or does it have improved graphics but a worse performance compared to vanilla?

CapoFantasma97Hi, how does maxquality compare to vanilla TF2? Does it have an equivalent graphical quality with better performance, or does it have improved graphics but a worse performance compared to vanilla?

It has the optimizations from the default config that don't affect quality and it has higher graphics than the highest graphics available from the in-game settings. So honestly it mostly depends on your graphics card.

GoodOlDavyHey, i just notice something. Why is Shaders on high? since i saw it on high in options

Because when on low, Source will use some DirectX 8 features. If you don't have a badgpu (which sets shaders to low), it is more optimal to use the latest features from PS2.0b.

Just thought I'd post as I don't have a cringe PC any more but still get cringe frames. Am I using the wrong preset or something? Should I go configless? I don't know as I've tried some stuff already and don't see to get very good frames. Could just be the fact that I have an AMD CPU.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 @ 3.2 ghz
GPU: RX580 8GB @ 1.366 ghz
RAM: 8GB
WIN7
TF2 Installed on SSD, running dxlevel 95 and version 5.0.0 of this config. Using the competitive quality preset.

I get less than 120 fps on certain mid fights and drop below 120 quite often on pubs.

MakJust thought I'd post as I don't have a cringe PC any more but still get cringe frames...

A- 120 frames's pretty good (edit: checked the price of your GPU and for that 120 is SHIT... if you were playing another game. Since TF2 came out in 2007 it's very CPU dependent and your CPU seems to be much cheaper than your GPU and not that good).
B- You should probably install a version of the config which is not 3 months old, since that "problem" may have already been fixed in the later releases.
C- If you want more frames you can use the comp preset, the other presets that have lower graphics than compquality (maxperformance and stripped) are not worth it if you're already getting about 120 fps. Also, use the SSD addon, and try seeing if other dxlevels boost your performance if you haven't done it already.

What are your launch options?

And you really need to update to 6.4.1. Any reason why you're still on 5.0.0?

Also, keep in mind that compquality disables lots of optimizations for the sake of slightly improving accuracy of sounds and graphics. You might have better luck with default or comp.

-nohltv: disables SourceTV, faster startup and less memory usage but can't spectate through SourceTV

This launch option was causing me to get kicked from a few pub servers after playing for an arbitrary amount of time. The console message went something like this:

Disconnect: There was an error communicating with the server. Please reconnect..

Edit: This was actually false and the error came from a reserve slot system from the server I was connecting to.

Hi, comangliacoms isn't my config. Please ask support questions for it in the Comanglia thread. However, if I were to guess, you need a higher lod level.

Open your config.cfg in tf/cfg. Find mat_antialias and remove that line from the file. Also make sure you remove your -dxlevel launch option if you have one.

hey, you can get eyes with r_eyes 1
but the comangliacoms config is still 99% comanglia's code (negligible performance difference too) so you'd probably be better off using a cinema config if you want very good visuals and all that
