hi_Of all the DirectX 9 options which one is the best in terms of stability and performance?
Depends on your GPU.

springrollsdo you know any commands that would improve visibility through pyro flames? i literally can't see anything if a pyro sprays in front of me rn.
Well, there's a glitch with cl_particle_batch_mode 2 where it sometimes skips drawing the main flame particles. But besides that, I don't really know of anything that would help.
springrollsalso is there any way for boosting the brightness of players in dark areas (i.e. under badlands mid in that corner of the bridge) or should i just up my monitorgamma
edit: should note i'm using the standard launch options + comp config
You can change r_worldlightmin to its default of 0.0002, at a slight performance decrease. There's also r_ambientboost 1, which boosts lights on models. It has a small CPU load increase.
You can also use mat_phong 1 and r_rimlight 1, which enhances reflectivity and enables lighting on model edges. Comes at a GPU load increase. Though, I don't think that's what you're looking for.

I have this weird rectangles on Enclosure Map.
mastercomms v5.0
It looks like they replace grass on the ground? So maybe try r_drawdetailprops 0 or 1. Also how did you get everyone's name on the casual bar? It looks cool! :)

For the sake of testing, could you try running TF2 without those tweaks (timer tool, razer game boost, process lasso, msi afterburner, game mode, CPU unparking)? And try setting dxlevel manually and also trying -default.
SiiLVERAlso thanks for putting your time and effort in making everyone else game's better
you're the hero we need
No problem! I just love helping people :)

sagedoes this command matter at all? its for logs but you do say it affects FPS variance, could you expand on that?//sys_minidumpspewlines 500 // Basically the number of lines saved to a log file from console. No FPS boost but 15% lower FPS variance sys_minidumpspewlines 500 // You're setting it to the default value of 500. It doesn't affect FPS or FPS variance anyway, it does not become a factor in normal play as it only is used when TF2 crashes.
I don't say it affects FPS or FPS variability. Comanglia wrote that first comment. My correction is the 2nd one.

SiiLVERHey, i tried the Dxlevel 81
My FPS issues are gone, it's back to not go below 100
and my demo benchmark went from avarage 110 went to avarage 143 fps
I have more fps variability but that's ok i guess
and it seems that having MSAA and Mat picmip at max and all that thing made no difference (about 0.73 fps in the demo)
(i still sutter every 10 sec or so but the game is playable at least)
What is your OS? Do you have Game DVR turned off? What about window optimizations and game mode? HIgh performance power plan? What are your launch options?
I've found it very hard to debug this issue, as I don't get it on any of my PCs, on Windows or Linux, so any additional information is appreciated.
FreudShould interp always be an exact multiple of (1 / rate)? I remember reading (I think in Felik's config?) that 0.02 was a good value, which seems to contradict your and Comanglia's configs.
Also, is the tickrate in TF2 66 or 66.66...? (ie, is the minimum interp I should use 0.01515... or 0.015?) Again, I recall reading differing advice on this.
cl_interp should always be set to 0 (unless a community server is restricting cl_interp_ratio for whatever reason). Use cl_interp_ratio and cl_updaterate to control interp more precisely. (if cl_interp is set to 0, it will set to cl_interp_ratio / cl_updaterate). Your interp ratio should be set to the lowest packet interval where you don't have any packet drops. Most of the time this will be 1.
TF2's tickrate is 66. So, if you have cl_interp_ratio set to 1, and cl_updaterate set to the max of 66, you'll get a cl_interp of 0.01515151515.

DER_AZZEi didn t go throw every page.
is there a diffrence between -dx_level 81 in launch options and mat_dxlevel 81 in config?
You should use -dxlevel 81 for your first launch only. You should be using mat_dxlevel 81 forever, on first launch and beyond.

SiiLVERHello
I do have some questions, i hope you don't mind
I have a 10.70Mbps (A Stable 10.50) (As in Mega bits, so 1.4Mega bytes, i think) Download and 0.98 Mbps (Stable 0.80 ish) upload... Not ideal, but, what network settings would be the best in my condition?
Halve the config's rate and net_splitpacket_maxrate, and use net_maxcleartime 5.
SiiLVERAlso i have a powerfull graphics card and a relatively weak CPU
(Nvidia GTX 950 2GB GPU
Intel® Xeon® E3-1280 Cache 8M 3.50 GHz [4 cores, 8 threads] CPU ) so what settings i turn on and witch one i turn off? Is there a preset that's best for me? I'm having my frames drop to 57, 60 in casual matches and stuttering issues
Thanks
I've been hearing about these issues, even from someone with a i7-6700K and GTX 1080 Ti, but apparently it only happens in casual servers and not in community. Could you try a community server and see if you still get stuttering issues?

hi_Is this the new go to config? I see people recommending it a lot and no longer see people talking about the other one. I read about 6-7 pages of this thread and saw people say that the other competing config had a lower variable in fps and a higher overall fps (only by a couple though).
Excited to give it an actual try! I tried using it the other day but it didn't seem like it made a difference, I must have installed it incorrectly or something, I really like how there is a lot more explanation for the commands too.
By competing config, do you mean Comanglia's config (forum thread, download link)?
I'm not exactly sure how this config exactly compares to Comanglia's, but I've seen reports of higher FPS with mine on some PCs, with some having higher FPS on Comanglia's, both cases having small FPS differences. What I think I've seen consistently though, is that people have said it makes the game smoother and decreases load times.
I'd be happy to help with your installation process. Could you tell me what you tried to do to install it?

LindonCustom Settings for TF: -novid (-high makes no difference, so it's been removed currently)
Are those all of your launch options? I would recommend using all of the launch options listed in the mastercomfig autoexec.cfg.
Lindonand "Windows Optimisations" make no difference either.
Do you also have the high performance power plan enabled?
LindonNo matter the config I use, I seem to get a consistent 30-40 FPS mid battle (can go up to around 120+ when nothing is happening and has been known to dip below 30 since Jungle Inferno) and changing resolution does nothing. Would you be able to suggest better settings for my system perhaps, since you're more knowledgeable about these things.
As you say that decreasing graphical quality is not changing how much FPS you get in battles, I'm inclined to believe it is the stress the networking system is putting on your CPU.
Try these network settings and see how it affects your FPS.
Also, see how disabling the queued packet thread affects your FPS. Try these combinations:
- net_queued_packet_thread 1
- net_queued_packet_thread 1 and -NoQueuedPacketThread launch option
- net_queued_packet_thread 0 and -NoQueuedPacketThread launch option
