good luck on the map. That sounds like a creative idea but very hard.
I would suggest finding a csgo mapping discord to ask people questions.

To me this is the absolute perfect link between casual and competitive. Game is only like 10% different from a pub server (and a good 10%, nospread etc), and the rank/elo incentive is huge for making casual players realize that tryharding this game is super super fun.

I'm not 100% convinced on the faceit point incentive or the rewards but because they are pushing it so hard, I assume it worked well in CSGO, and I can imagine it will work on the casual playerbase (but tbh I am out of touch with what they are like these days)

this effort makes much more sense than the previous 6s one. It seems much more aware I wonder which tf2 insider gave them advice or if its just faceit_mikey or whatever.

rgl.... the people have spoken and your silence is deafening....

give him a hug

I like to imagine that the tf2 elites have his personal number, and get a personal wickedplayer text right before all the forums

I have used netgear and tp-link both. Always the cheapest option, and always worked great with no issues.

haha I was joking about 1000 fps and having your laptop. I feel bad because you clearly care very much about this.
I love that you cited sources, I did not know about measuring fps being unreliable, from now on I will use frametime as I agree it seems like a much better measure.

Seems like you have done almost everything. The only thing I can think that you havent mentioned is to close all running programs (ofc), and set hl2.exe to have high priority. Also if you are on a laptop, try to make sure it is getting enough airflow, maybe even buy a cooling pad.

I appreciate the dedication to fine tuning, but the reason people aren't taking you seriously is that you are asking for the impossible. You pretty much need to buy a better computer unfortunately, if you want a significant change in frames

I donwloaded your demos and have the same laptop as you. I got 1000 fps average
