#638 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

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

#7 weird problem in Q/A Help

WFlashHmmm ye I noticed that the problem happened at the same time I pressed the hud_reloadscheme bind (I use it for getting rid of the annoying invisible players bug lol); I'll test to see if it happens every time I pressed it or not.

hud_reloadscheme shouldn't fix the invisible players bug. The workaround command for fixing invisible players is record fix;stop

I'd like to know if this fixes those missing sound issues people were having.

Go to your TF2 local files, open platform/config, delete network_config.cached.json and network_config.json. Then verify game files and launch the game and see what happens. If it's still bad, you might have to modify the network_config.json.

#34 What os do you play tf2 on? in TF2 General Discussion

zanaman im glad i switched to a completely different os just to get 10 more fps

that's not the only reason. some other reasons for switching would be that linux is much more customizable, has better software mangement and is more secure. It is also free and open source, so anyone can audit the code.

sageya the bad thing about gaming in linux is that most desktop environments dont give an option to disable m. accel and force you to google how to do it manually modifying some obscure text file

lots of desktop environments nowadays do have an option to disable it in the GUI

gemmpoorer graphics drivers support on linux (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36yNWw_07g) and weird mouse accel that i never bothered to fix were the problems that stopped me from using ubuntu when I tried it

nvidia graphics drivers have improved a lot in the past year or so

mouse accel shouldn't be a problem anymore with libinput's acceleration profiles. just use the flat profile and you should be good to go.

#628 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

ScrambledI sort of feel like the command that lets you see shadows through walls should be in the compquality cfg

r_shadowrendertotexture 1

It is in the config.

smesiit looks like i get overall better fps on dx81 although i could be wrong since idk much about comparing benchmarks so

You do get better FPS, probably because of your bad graphics card, but you should also play a while with dx9 and dx8 because average FPS is only part of the story. See which one feels smoother and has less stutter. If that is dx8 for you, then use it, but if not, I would sacrifice those few extra frames for more stability.

#625 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

smesido you know if skins / warpaints affect fps at all?
because i benchmarked ur config with dx90 and dx81 a few days ago and appareantly and they both had the exact same results, but i feel like i get less fps in dx9
i used the old "benchmark1" demo which is quite old and doesnt show any war paints or skins in that demo cuz they didnt exist back then

DirectX 9 is much more efficient renderer that uses your graphics card more effectively. And about skins, they shouldn't affect FPS too much except for the initial generation.

I've made a very basic new benchmark that should be better at testing FPS on modern TF2 for now.

#623 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

AbridgeIs there a way to use your max performance cfg but not have the game so dark. I hate it being so dark in certain areas and I don't like how the transition on lighting is non-existent. Real picky request but what console commands would brighten up the world so that lighting isn't so drastic.
