#2003 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

8.4.1 released with performance improvements, networking improvements and bug fixes.

This release took 5 hours to produce. If you like the work I do, consider supporting me!

Updated recommended base launch options to: -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -NoQueuedPacketThread +cl_clean_textures_on_death 1 +mat_lodin_time 0

You can also try +cl_threaded_bone_setup 1 which enables threaded bone setup for animations, improving performance. It is not enabled by default as it can cause crashes, but many people have reported that it has worked fine for them.

#79 The TF2 Aimbot Crisis in Videos

irebasically the server doesn't check if things are too big before decompressing a file so it tries to create the memory and crashes

Yep, most likely. I don't think it's anything specially crafted, though it could be.

#76 The TF2 Aimbot Crisis in Videos

That post inspired me to look into it more, since it had details on what was actually happening for the crash. It seems like it has to do with the compressed fragment size info sent with large split packets. It's either overflowing or just too large for the server to handle quickly.

#9 launch option for fullscreen? in Customization

I am not sure if mat_setvideomode helps. I'd recommend just using the video settings.

#1996 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

kittyMy CPU is the i5 8400 and I have tf2 installed on a HDD. I didn't experience any drastic stuttering with snd_async_minsize 262144.

Do you experience stuttering with snd_async_minsize 0;snd_async_fullyasync 1

#1994 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

kittyAfter installing the comfig I experienced a lot of unplayable stutter. It was most noticeable when many sounds were playing at the same time, for example in MvM a wave of crit heavies would constantly freeze my game for up to a second at a time. Changing the value of snd_async_minsize from 131072 to 524288 seems to have fixed this.

I had previously set this to 524288 which I got from an older version of mastercomfig. What does this command do exactly?

Basically, it sets the size of sound file past which it will not bother playing from cache, which partially loads the sound file, and instead starts immediately loading it asynchronously. Thanks for the report on this, but I need more information to know how this fix will affect other machines. What's your CPU and do you have TF2 on an SSD or HDD? Finally, does snd_async_minsize 262144 fix the problem as well?

#4 How to do the LOD thing on Linux in Customization

Makemakethis will at some point get you vac banned for modifying libraries

VAC is a signature based anti-cheat. If you aren't cheating, you won't get banned. That's Valve's principle. (but disclaimer: I am not Valve, so they could consider this to be cheating and you may be banned)

#1991 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

HarrowMy issue is the following. Whenever i switch classes my config for that seperate class doesnt load and the config from the first class i chose stays the same . I cant be bothered typing exec demoman_c or exec sniper_c everytime i wanna switch a class. I just downloaded the latest mastercomfig version ( used to have the 7.0 one and it worked fine). What should i do

Solved on Discord. Needed to move configs to user folder, and rename them back to normal.

#1989 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

sAvenAfter updating from version 8.3.5 to 8.3.8, the console was disabled (con_enable was set to 0). Is this a new feature or something overlooked?

The console is no longer force enabled. You can enable it in advanced settings under keyboard. This is due to the extra overhead from the console.
