beastieIs there any actual performance difference from using the VPK instead of just adding all the convars into an autoexec.cfg?
Yes, it includes some other custom files that aren't in the autoexec.cfg.

MR_SLINOne piece of feedback that I have is that the list of VPKs is super intimidating to a newcomer, and I had to have a couple folks on my stream walk me through selecting the right one. Once I had the right one selected, I couldn't quickly figure out how to install it. I know you have instructions posted with a header that says "Download and Install", but it'd be great if you called out explicitly that the VPKs literally run themselves and that you don't have to add anything do your autoexec to make it work
I'm working on a few gradual improvements to the config that should make the list of VPKs more organized and better explained.
MR_SLINIn conjunction with my first piece of feedback, it wasn't easy to tell that the VPKs were working. When I removed my custom.cfg, I'd see the mastercomfig echo in console on game start. When I added my custom.cfg back to my /tf/custom/slincustomstuff/cfg folder, the mastercomfig echo would disappear (and I checked my autoexec for a "clear" command). I'm still not even sure if the mastercomfig echo is supposed to disappear when I add a custom.cfg -- it'd be great if I saw the echo whether I ran a custom.cfg or not, and since I know you're reading the thread it'd be great if I got your confirmation here as well!
Since your custom.cfg is running, then mastercomfig would have to be running. Not sure why the console output is not there, though.
Also, I watched your VOD and I think comp would work better for you than compquality, since compquality enables shadows and some other extra effects while comp disables those and does not have blocky textures.
Finally, shaders on high runs better on modern mid to high end systems, which is why the config had it set to high. I would recommend comparing low and high and seeing which one works best for you!
MR_SLINAgain I know how much work went into making this as easy and seamless as possible, and it works swimmingly. Thanks again for doing this!
Thank you for the kind words and also, to answer your question that you asked on your stream, yes, I'm a she :)

FireStarwI've got a question about the upload rate generator, if we know we are also going to be streaming at the same time as playing, and therefore not all upload capacity is available for tf2 to use, should we subtract from our total upload rate?
For example, If I have an upload rate of 3.04 Mbps and I know I stream at 2400 kbps, should I subtract the "used" amount and input ~0.6 Mbps into the calculator?
Yeah that could be beneficial, but keep in mind that the generator already takes 80% of your upload rate.
IDKWIDAAHello, just a quick heads up, it seems that the scene_flush command used in the comp.vpk file at line 1831 (when opening the file in notepad++) can get you permabanned on SourceOP community servers.
Here's my ban report: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=SOPBans&o=id_details&id=51026
Here's the only other thing on the SourceOP forms that I could find about it: https://forums.sourceop.com/threads/88355-Unban-Request-SexyGreenFrog?highlight=scene_flush
That's unfortunate, as it improves performance. I'll comment it out.

6.5.5 released with bug fixes, networking enhancements and performance improvements.
fizzwhizThere is a typo, "packet_size_conversative". Also, what benefits are there of disabling console output for certain features, besides a less-cluttered console?
Edit: How was 96 determined as the optimal high decal count?
Thanks. In addition to less clutter, technically console output affect performance by a small amount.
96 was experimentally determined to give the best tradeoff.

Is the global whitelist going to be updated soon?

none of the currently banned weapons have any remote reason to be unbanned besides potentially the dragon's fury if the new hitbox is tested and found to be acceptable; even that i doubt considering the stupid firing speed after hitting two shots.
What about the atomizer?
And maybe the Sydney Sleeper could be tested.

ritaI deleted that file earlier so I'm not sure but I'm just going the older version of the config from January
If you deleted that file then you're probably not setting your crosshair file, since I don't see cl_crosshairfile in your pistole or bat binds.

I'll be looking into fixing this bug for the next release. Thanks for helping find it along with knsume.

fizzwhizHow does mm/override improve performance in Competitive matchmaking? How to restart mastercomfig once done playing Competitive? Why was the network split rate reverted?
It doesn't improve performance.
exec autoexec
Because it was too intensive for some PCs
