mastercomsstephis there any particular reason why mat_antialias is set to 1 instead of 0, even at the low preset?Because mat_antialias 1 means antialiasing is off. 0 is not a valid value and is clamped up to 1.

ok so according to the valve developer wiki, default is 0

and also ive fixed (and helped other people fix) a problem with the mumble overlay breaking by setting mat_antialias to 0 instead of 1 in the comfig.cfg part of this config thru vpk editing.

even if it does clamp, which im fairly sure it doesnt in tf2's version of source, whats the harm in setting it to 0 anyway?

Adding the new "run_modules" commands into user/autoexec.cfg doesn't work on startup, but it does work in console after startup. Running the command through the launch options works too.

tl:dr Antialiasing is controlled by mat_antialias and mat_aaquality.

Q: Why mat_antialias is set to 0 by default?
A:

pazerBecause the values of these cvars are loaded as part of the material system config that is stored in the registry. They arent loaded and stored like normal cvars.

Q:

stephwhats the harm in setting it to 0 anyway?

A:

mat_antialias 0
mat_forceaniso 0
Don't set these to 0. The minimum value of these cvars is 1, and setting them to 0 will just cause a material system reload = breaking mumble overlay/increasing game startup time. Think about it: mat_antialias controls the number of samples taken per pixel on your screen. If you took 0 samples per pixel, your screen would be entirely black :P
Reading directly from the game's code, the same hardcoded minimum exists for mat_forceaniso:

pConfig->m_nForceAnisotropicLevel = max( mat_forceaniso.GetInt(), 1 );

Depends on what graphics quality you want. The addons are the ones that are strictly about hardware. But I doubt you really need/want very low or low with that powerful setup.

Since TF2 just crashes when loading in-game matchmaking in DX8, would it be better to have "mat_dxlevel 90/95" in mm_overrides.cfg to save people a restart?

Noticeable between 21 (or 17.9) vs 15.2ms? I kinda doubt that. Keep in mind that the delay isn't server side either, it's an artificial client delay that spawns your rocket further down the barrel to have better visual sync, since projectile spawns and destroys are not interpolated.

And just take a look at your net_graph 3. See whenever your lerp turns yellow. That means you are dropping packets.

So does that mean you should gradually increase interp until the value is no longer yellow?

sAvenSo does that mean you should gradually increase interp until the value is no longer yellow?

Usually there's too much variance to reliably get it from looking at the packet loss indicator. You should instead analyze the average server variance, and average sv tickrate, and determine the value from that, plus a fudge factor. I already did this with my interp value of 0.021, which should also not be very noticeable to humans. I only recommend this interp for projectiles and melee, and 0.0303 (interp ratio 2) for hitscan. This is because hitscan is fully lag compensated for interp, and there is not clientside offset like projectiles do with higher interp (because no travel time).

Just testing if this will affect CPU load. It might be more beneficial for dxsupport to decide based on your GPU. There are other particle optimizations, like disabling more particles using dxsupport. It might return in a future update.
