Which commands are giving you a higher fps compared to mastercoms? I'm not really seeing much difference between the two

With those performance optimizations you mentioned that dx9 has over dx8 - would any of those affect rocket jumping in any way?

Because I have tested your config on both DX8 and DX9, and dx9 feels a lot smoother and easier to jump with. It could be placebo, but I tried the same jump map on both dx levels, and I had an easier time completing the map on dx9. I do prefer the looks of dx8 though.

This command isn't in your config, but can you please explain what this does:
cl_pred_optimize
The default value is 2, but felix set it to 1 on his config, claiming better hit reg.

Also will you be documenting every cvar in the game, even if they are not used in your config?

Thanks and great work on the comfig!

Mainly the particle effects like the rocket trails, pyro flames, sniper scope and other annoyances.

Can you please explain for us non tech savvy how the prerelease improves particle performance?

Also for those of us who prefer dx8, are there any changes which we should be making?

Oh sorry, you're right. I was using an older version and didn't realised these were added.

I see, thank you.

Testing it out, I'm very happy with this config. My game runs silky smooth now, whereas when I used comanglias my game was very choppy. And I like how almost every command is documented, so I know what exactly I'm turning on or off.

Can I make a small request? Can you add all these experimental launch options into a document as you find them so I don't have to scroll through this thread later on trying to find them again?

Great stuff keep it up!

I'm curious how you "find" launch options. Were these just added recently, or have they been there since release but no one has stumbled upon them yet? Is there a full list of launch options somewhere?

Also for the other launch options you list such as -nojoy, -useforcedmparms, -noforcemaccel and -noforcemspd, why did Chris tell us they don't work here?

Can you elaborate on this part please? How would one go about doing that, and which pcf files would it work with?

mat_mipmaptextures 0 also gets rid of the circle, but after a while I barely notice it there.

mat_shadowstate is also gone.

Thank you for updating!

Just skimmed through config, couple questions/comments:

"mat_colcorrection_disableentities 0" - shouldn't be 1? You already disabled color-correction, but enabling entities?

"mat_picmip -1" - Last update "Eliminated occasional hitching caused by using mat_picmip 2 (or selecting low quality textures in Video Options -> Advanced)". No reason for -1 anymore, unless you like look.

"mat_trilinear 1" - Mouse movement feels smoother on 0 for me. Can confirm?

"net_queue_trace 0" - Does nothing but everyone has in config :/

cl_forcepreload / mat_disable_d3d9ex - Gone from last update. Probably this: "Fixed two most common forms of framerate stuttering / hitching when using popular FPS configs"

mat_shadowstate - Gone as well.

cl_detaildist 0 / cl_detailfade 0 - These 2 cvars does nothing in autoexec. They turn default values of 1200 / 400 when changing maps. Put them in class configs instead so they exec after map change.

also why so many cheat commands? Does nothing.
