New VERY experimental launch options

// -disable_d3d9_hacks : disables Direct3D 9 hacks?
// -64OS : 64-bit OS mode for some components??
// -menupaintduringinit : paints menu early in init??
// -precachefontchars : caches fonts?
// -mpi_worker : enable worker thread for MPI??
// -no_compressed_verts : ??
// -disable_matsurf_noculls : ??
// -forcenovsync : force disables VSync?
// -nod3d9ex : disables Direct3D 9Ex - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee890072(v=vs.85).aspx
// -noglslcontrolflow : disables GLSL control flow - https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Core_Language_(GLSL)#Control_flow

Please tell me if there's any effects for these.

I think it's all based on what Chris said about launch options years ago.

http://etf2l.org/forum/customise/topic-16829/

Not sure why he thought that, but oh well.

Well, it launches with the title "Team Fortress 2 - OpenGL" so we know it at least does something. And people using NVidia cards at least have seen a few frames increase.

thanks so much!!! <3

I would say it's slightly. I think lighting, shadow quality and antialiasing have the biggest improvements oveer it.

Where did you read this? -high is not going to make TF2 have higher priority than OS level tasks like input. I actually get more responsiveness and very slightly better FPS on my i7-870, but I won't say that it's good for every CPU.

Thank you all for being such a great community to work with!! and thank you for nice words <3

I don't think dxlevel can be used with r_emulate_gl.

Also, did your paste get cut off? "-snoforceform" should be "-snoforceformat"

r_worldlightmin 0.004

where are the flags? up the ass?

Which preset are you using?

I've updated the changes. https://gist.github.com/mastercoms/f54f6476e0f2e4bdcf860ef902f1f93f

4.4.0 released with probably huge performance enhancements and particle reduction.

Also, could people test dsp_off 1 in a bot match and see how they like the sound quality/spatialization?

EDIT: 4.4.1 released with a few comment updates and cleanup.

EDIT 2: 4.4.2 released with a few improvements to post processing settings and characters.

EDIT 3: 4.4.3 released with a few bug fixes, maxperformance optimizations as well as some optimizations ported to dx8 (still not recommended for most users).

Yes I was trying to clarify for everyone, nothing wrong with your post :)

The default setting is your cores - 1, at a max of 3, just FYI.

Calling all testers with CPUs that have more than 4 real cores: add -threads core count - 1 to launch options

Please don't downfrag people who just want help!
