#10 New Better Server Configs in Projects

AriemastercomsWhat causes you to say that? Curious what you exactly mean by "state of the source server engine".
These are 4 non-default, very rarely changed variables on a 10 year old engine that no longer gets a lot of love from its creator.

If they work, only 1 out of 4 (clock correction) has any bearing on competitive play, the others are the concern of server operators, who should prefer sticking to defaults (used by nearly everyone) instead of rarely used (threaded) optimizations.

As a server operator I favor stability over changing variables that hardly anyone else runs. That way when one of my servers crashes, it's more likely to be something a lot of server operators have already seen, instead of some rarely unknown network threading bug in the orangebox server code.

League configs should concern themselves with settings that affect competitive play, not try to do server optimizations nor change server names and passwords.

Just because the engine isn't updated doesn't mean variables magically stop working.

sv_clockcorrection_msecs was changed to 30 in CS:GO, and is set to 0 in many CS:GO competitive leagues. It definitely works in TF2 too.

The other ones were optimizations that I agree should be server preference, and not part of a standard competitive config. However, optimizations can affect tickrate and thus networking reliability so the stability should be at least investigated to see if they can be used in normal competitive play.

#8 New Better Server Configs in Projects

ArieStuff that probably doesn't work considering the state of the source server engine:

sv_clockcorrection_msecs "30"
host_thread_mode "1" // turns on multithreading if the server supports it
lzma_persistent_buffer "1" // keeps a persistent buffer for LZMA decompression to prevent memory from being allocated and unallocated repeatedly
sv_parallel_sendsnapshot "1" // sends packets in parallel

What causes you to say that? Curious what you exactly mean by "state of the source server engine".

#1803 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

Can someone tell me the dealio with ESEA? Can I remove all references to it from mastercomfig documentation yet?

Tanniemine doesnt have it disabled, i copied it from credu stream and he told me there are ragdolls gibs and shadows but rn it seems to be fixed.
maybe ill have to wait for him to stream again and get his cfg

How did you copy it from credu's stream? Just download it from here: https://mastercomfig.com/download

#1797 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

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).

sAvenIs there any reason why r_worldlightmin is different for the very_low preset vs. the low preset even though r_worldlights is 0 for both?

I wasn't sure if r_worldlightmin was only for world lights.

zfnJust curious why the changelog says "Optimized particles", but the "ConVar.cl_particle_retire_cost" "0.0001" has disappeared from dxsupport_overide? Was it not working?

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.

#1793 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

whitepuzzleI've never had an issue with 15.2ms interp (no players stuttering or hitreg issues or anything) and the difference in projectile delay is noticeable.

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.

#1790 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

v6.11.6 released with performance improvements and bug fixes.

sAvenSince 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?

I don't want to set that, since it would also set for people already on DX9.

sAvenHow come my comfig.cfg doesn't have the comments and organization of the code changes for version 6.11.5?

https://imgur.com/a/oJfha0q

Comments are removed from the VPK version to save space. You can view the config files with comments on GitHub, and download them for offline access.

_KermitsAvenwhitepuzzleAlso, how to get 15.2ms interp on V6? I set snapshots to "lan" in modules.cfg, but I still have 21.0ms interp.
I think the answer was that 15.2 was too unreliable and resulted in packet loss.
I'm sure that on soldier/demo 15.2 is still worth it.

You can change it using snapshots_lan in user/game_overrides.cfg.

However, I seriously advise against using it: https://www.teamfortress.tv/51693/current-year-net-settings#4.

#1784 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

v6.11.5 released with performance improvements and bug fixes.

whitepuzzleI switched back from 7a to 6.11.4 (medium-low.vpk) and fences (like the one near snakewater spawn, or ammomod) look aids now even with MSAA enabled. How to fix it? On 7a, they only looked shit with MSAA disabled.

Use aa=medium in your modules.cfg.

Also, to respond to your edit, that wiki edit is straight from the mastercomfig wiki.

I have no reason to believe this launch option hasn't been in the game for a long while

#1781 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

Pertis there a preferred version/s to use or one/s I should avoid if Im using an overclocked 8600k and a 1080TI?

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.

It still uses DirectX, it just sets DirectX to use the same reduced feature level as OpenGL.

#1779 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

Artz_HispanianMy max FPS is set to 181 instead of 300 and some of class specific key binds don’t work right now.

Could you show me your class config set up?

And 181FPS is the default FPS limit in mastercomfig
