You don't need the .cfg when using exec. Just do exec crosshair_medic.

Not really any noticeable settings, are you having trouble seeing them compared to default?

r_WaterDrawRefraction 1
r_cheapwaterstart 400
r_cheapwaterend 1000

Anyways, 4.2.0 just released. Blaze it (in moderation, or not at all, if that's not your thing).

EDIT: 4.2.1 released with a small fix to sound spatialization

See if

steamdatagram_client_force_relay_cluster mad

fixes it.

EDIT: this command was removed in the steam datagram update a few days ago. not sure how to fix it then.

Glad to hear you've been liking it!!! Thank you for the kind words <3, it means a lot

I've been looking into this.

What is the output of tf_datacenter_ping_dump?

There is not.

It is a routing issue with Steam Datagram, if you're trying on Valve servers. But for a community server, idk. But a lot of people have been having problems lately, I believe.

Realtime is not recommended, as TF2 will be the same priority as OS level tasks.

There is no dxlevel because the default dxlevel determined by the Source Engine for your hardware is usually the best one. However, I am investigating the impact of each dxlevel to see what options the config should control.

Please keep in mind that TF2 already had this functionality, they are now just using a shared implementation across all their games, instead of one put into the main game code. So far, TF2 and Dota 2 have moved to this shared code, while CSGO has yet to do it for theirs, but that will presumably come with the promised Source 2 port.

As for what this indicates for TF2, it could go either way: updating the game code is confusing if they were going to move to Source 2, as it is seemingly pointless extra work but at the same time, it makes the Steam Datagram portable and engine non-specific and allows them to test the external code beforehand.

As for the Pyro Update in general, this update has nothing specifically related to it.

It depends on your CPU and GPU. If you have a relatively weaker CPU and a stronger GPU, you'll likely get more FPS with it off, but it is just best to test it.

Can you set mat_dxlevel 690 in console or does it go back down?

I meant that mat_dxlevel 100 has some code for it, but I needed to investigate if that code is used.

Applies a DSP effect to sounds you are facing away from. 30 is the facing away effect that should be used for dsp_facingaway.

As requested, 4.1.8 comes with a compquality.cfg, as well as a few updates here and there.

also side note: I noticed that mat_dxlevel 100 is a valid dxlevel. Not sure if it does anything yet.

Alright sounds good. And I will definitely be adding detail, that's probably the whole point of my config.

I think mat_phong, mat_bumpmap will affect it, as well as the -nops2b launch option.

I'm really glad to hear you like it! <3

What's your OS and OS version?

To be honest, I don't know the exact answer to that question. All I know is that systems will explicitly request a TCP stream socket and if one is successfully created, it will use it. Therefore, my logical conclusion is that this launch option allows systems that prefer TCP over UDP to use TCP, and it seems to be disabled by default due to the extra memory usage it requires.
