BirdNot sure what you mean by presets but I guess I'm using the default one, I haven't bothered changing anything in this config
Ok, r_worldlightmin 0.0002.
Also, would it be possible to get a screenshot of the mag stretching?

DrasticBinMy launch options are: -dxlevel 81 -noipx -novid -nojoy -noborder -refresh 60 -w 800 -h 600 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -heapsize 1048576 -windowed +map_background preload_room -high -nohltv (This is what you recomended in the autoexec) My specs are : Windows 10 Intel HD Graphics, Intel Pentuim core
The preset im using is the maxperformance and the addon igpu
-noipx - This doesn't exist in the Source Engine
-heapsize 1048576 - This doesn't exist either
-refresh 60 - Only set this higher than 60 if you need to
-w 800 -h 600 - Set resolution in game
+mat_forcehardwaresync 0 - Don't set this, it causes GPU desync
+map_background preload_room - Preloading isn't needed anymore and causes performance issues and instability
-noborder -windowed - I would recommend setting fullscreen in game
BirdSoooo I just installed this config and I'm having a few visual glitches which I haven't seen mentioned in the github, mainly the magazine for the pocket pistol stretching and weird light effects on the weapons, I'm not sure how am I supposed to fix this
What preset are you using?
I haven't heard of the pocket pistol mag stretching before, nor do I believe it is an issue with the config.

DrasticBinHey! mastercoms, so i've been using this comfig and i am getting crashes with the comp.cfg and the maxperformance.cfg i dont really know what is the problem of this but if you know please answer, Thanks :D
What are your launch options, specs and OS?

I understand the problems with it. But I feel like it can help those who literally can't play without it. Perhaps I can add a better warning to ir.
Windows 10 is known to skip getting mouse input randomly on some frames. This solves that issue.

Bogusstarwarsguy321Ok I switched to dx 90. It is better, but even though I am pretty sure shadows are disabled, i still see dark blobs under people sometimes. Another thing is that on some maps like koth_sawmill, the cp area and the people are so dark that I cannot tell which team they are on.
Could you take some screenshots of these shadows?
The darkness can be solved with r_worldlightmin 0.004.
hyphenwould dxlevel 95 be more stable/better performing than dxlevel 90? what about 98?
It depends on your hardware.

hi_Oh! I have never seen it before and started seeing it after installing the config. Thanks!
Yeah it was recently popularized by a certain YouTuber.

Bogusstarwarsguy321I would also like to add that I used to be able to go over 60, but now I am capped at 60 even though in the console i entered fps_max 132
I believe there is a bug on some systems that caps FPS at 60 if you have fps_max on anything but 0.
Bogusstarwarsguy321I actually used to use dx 90 but I switched to 95 because I could not see flame particles.
That shouldn't be a problem anymore with recent fixes to flame particles.

AnyarIf you know that people have been having issues with this (and others like -nops2b) I'd recommend noting that it CAN be bad instead of simply saying "FPS boost on weak GPUs" which makes it sound like it can help for old computers but won't affect others.
-nosrgb already says the effects it has on lighting and colors.
I'm not aware of any problems -nops2b has besides thicker fog. Plus, for -nops2b it says "more frames on really old/bad GPUs" because it does only affect those, and can possibly make it worse for newer cards.
AnyarI have a really bad computer and that really helped my fps, but honestly who would use that? What's the point of good fps if it's at the cost of not being able to see enemy players?
It's up to people to use it if they want to based on what it does. I just want to create more options for people and allow for greater customization and choice.
LemonLimeHey I Was Wondering If Transparent Viewmodles Worked For any Body Else Because For Me I Have None
There should be some commands you have to do for transparent viewmodels. You also have to be on dx9.
Bogusstarwarsguy321I used to use Comanglia's config and got from 40-110 fps on my laptop. Recently it has been much worse because of jungle update. I tried this config because it seemed more updated, however even with max performance preset and iGpu addon, I still dip below 20. Could someone please help.
Launch Options: -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores -high -w 1280 -h 720
Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 5200U w/ IntelHD 5500
RAM: 8 gb
OS: Win 10 64-bit
I would recommend using a lower DX level, like 90 instead of 95. Also, try setting your resolution in video settings rather than in a launch option, people have reported a small FPS loss from using the launch options.

Well, I'm not too sure about your teacher's personality nor the area of study of the course you're taking so I don't know what advice to really give you besides some vague stuff.
Definitely don't blow the issue out of proportion and see if you can make compromises to get them to like you more.
If it's really bad and it's affecting your grades for no reason, you can speak to the administration for help.

sageIn what situations/setups is r_queued_post_processing worth it? says its supposed to give a performance improvement but did the opposite with my GTX 970
mastercomfig disables post processing effects, so it only gives a boost when those are enabled, for example on the maxquality config.
sagealso net_compresspackets 0 could probably be added to the "stripped" addon, it saves some CPU cycles
Splitpackets require more CPU cycles, and packet compression reduces the likelihood of splitpackets being used.
AnyarKinda late to the party but -nosrgb causes unplayable issues for me even though it improves fps.
What it does is, it removes a lot of borders and makes the team selection screen one blank color, makes all classes invisible, and makes most weapons invisible (e.g. Market Gardener, though some like the Direct Hit are still visible). There's also a black line on the right side of my screen similar to https://i.imgur.com/wdsMYUK.jpg (from #130).
Removing that launch option fixed the issue. I use Dx81.
Yep, it's supposed to be something for really bad computers so they can squeeze out every last bit of FPS.

Pro_Axe_GamingI got some benchmarks for Comanglia's config vs mastercomfig:
Resolution 1024x768, 4:3 aspect ratio
CPU: i3-6006U
GPU: Intel HD 520
mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.090 seconds 77.41 fps (12.92 ms/f) 6.579 fps variability
mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.606 seconds 78.53 fps (12.73 ms/f) 6.422 fps variability
Comanglia's Config, delevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.357 seconds 76.81 fps (13.02 ms/f) 6.497 fps variability
Comanglia's Config, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.796 seconds 78.09 fps (12.81 ms/f) 6.524 fps variability
So my experience is that the difference is negligible, but it does seem to help performance when I'm recording ingame.
Are you using the igpu addon? Also, what preset are you using?

aurahdoes leaving -dxlevel in your launch options cause issues? and if so why?
It increases startup time and resets some settings every time you load.
Shifta-full -w 1920 -h 1080 -console -refresh 144 -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores
ik the refresh command is pointless but I don't imagine it hurts
edit: I'm also getting the occasional microstutter that I wasn't getting without a config
full, w, h and refresh should do hurt, as they can force non-optimal video modes for the material system. It's better to set video settings in the options.
What are your specs and OS?
