I'm not at home at the moment, but I know you can remove all those commands and just disable DSP everywhere with one of these:

"dsp_vol_5ch" = "0.5"
"dsp_vol_4ch" = "0.5"
"dsp_vol_2ch" = "1.0"

Great commands if you want to set a tiny bit of dsp, or want it completely off, etc. I'm unsure if 7 channel has a command, or if it's shared with 5ch, but these will remove all DSP, as it acts as a master volume for all DSP from what I understand. Just don't use "dsp_volume", as it constantly resets if maps have different soundscapes and you enter/exit them. Unless you want to bind it to a commonly used key.

I don't know if it's just me, but disabling dsp entirely makes sounds at the back really low. So some DSP is good if you have same issue as me. If you put too much, it throws off the positioning, so you have to dial it in perfect.

You don't need to provide anything. You just right click your sound icon in your tray, click spatial sound, then select WIndows Sonic. Then when you're in-game, you select 5.1 setup as your sound device. It's essentially emulated surround sound, but seems a lot better than traditional emulation. More details here about it.

I just saw in the sound section you have some customized values for DSP and it was most likely configured and setup on stereo. I think when you switch to 5.1/7.1, the game makes some changes to the DSP values to account for a surround sound system, opposed to stereo. There are also some commands like snd_legacy_surround.

When you get a chance, do you think you can look at tweaking sound settings for virtualized surround sound? Maybe a module for it? I personally find the new Spatial Sound feature in W10 very good for gaming. It's not perfect, but I find it more accurate than stereo.

Also, do you have a donation url?

Is there any other downside besides that? I've seen some people have toggles in their cfg's to change their net settings and was wondering if maybe it's bad to have mismatched rates when compared to the server. Other than that, what's the point?

For instance, I've seen lots of autoexecs that have toggles to change:

rate 60000
cl_cmdrate 60
cl_updaterate 60

rate 30000
cl_cmdrate 30
cl_updaterate 30

Maybe sending more data than the server can handle is bad? I'm not sure. I always thought servers locked to their max regardless of what your settings are.

Is there a reason why cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate are set to 66? I know vast majority of servers are 66 tick, but is there any downside to setting them higher than what the servers tick rate is? I've seen some 128 tick servers, so wouldn't it just be best to set cl_cmdrate and updaterate to 128 and let the server enforce/lock you to their max? Or does it mess with the hitreg having different update/cmdrate higher than the tickrate?

It's really hard to grasp all these networking commands, as I'm no networking engineer. I wish Valve would put out detailed information on this stuff, as there are just too many people with varying opinions on what does what, and what's best for hit reg. There's almost no way to test this stuff because it's all subjective due to no proper way to test, outside of cl_interp, which is very easy to see the difference using hitbox outlines.

Have you looked into testing with the net_showsplits command? I believe it dumps to console how it handles splits.

So what's with the net_splitrate commands? I've read they're only for server-side and useless for clients. And is it tied to the rate command, as they're both the same in your cfgs.

Ok, thanks guys. Is there anyway to make the text make the text start from the bottom and go up, opposed to it going down? Maybe use position south?

How do you wrap text?

Anyway to display text vertical?

I don't get why everyone is bashing the guy. Let him try and learn, it doesn't hurt anybody. It's better to give feedback and encourage him to make it better than to pile on the guy and put him down.

Keep at it Felik.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but aren't these commands server-side and useless for client?

Or because, you know, a 2600k overclocked to 4.4ghz with a 970 getting drops to 80fps on all low settings @ 1024x768? Doesn't take a benchmark to tell you something is wrong in that scenario. I've already mentioned all my other games run fine, so it's not hardware related. That's like me telling you my car is broken and can only do 20mph on the highway and you telling me go to the race track to try and max it out there. What's the point?

Just installed an FPS config. Frames are stable 300+ now. On simple maps like 2fort, I can hold 400 fps. Goes to around 600 fps in empty rooms looking at walls. The game doesn't look bad at all with the FPS config either. It doesn't look like the quality has degraded that much. And this is with dx98 launch option! I think something is wrong with how this game handles certain CPUs, or some effect is solely responsible for crippling the CPU. Just doesn't make sense how I can go from dipping to low 80 fps on 2fort, to 400fps stable with an fps config.

Curious, what operating system are you on?
