So i recently tried to get the Lod tweak working for AMD with no success.The closest i got to "quake"like graphics was chris's maxframes and "mat_filterlightmaps 0".
I'd like some help if anyone's willing to.
Thanks in advance.

if you are doing it for performance boosts, dont even worry about it tbh, i remember looking at benchmarks for it and at max it increased fps by like 3 frames.

Tried that but for some reason it still doesnt look anything like the screenshot
Idk if this makes any diference but im using a self made cfg and a Tf2 Profile Manager..
Anyways here is the comparison of mine: (mines the one on the right http://i.imgur.com/vsKwGDf.png
This is how my Radeon Pro looks like: http://i.imgur.com/DfKWuAQ.png its in Portuguese but if u have the english version the order and position of the options is still the same

When I used the LOD tweak I used both of these toggle mat_filtertextures; toggle mat_filterlightmaps and that got me the desired effect.

Mr_Harvardif you are doing it for performance boosts, dont even worry about it tbh, i remember looking at benchmarks for it and at max it increased fps by like 3 frames.

it's not about performance tbh i just like the look of it.I can run tf2 at max settings and get stable fps 60+,but i really like the simplistic blocky look of the tweak.

1st: work for any amd card, theres a screenshot http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=392253953

2nd: 10 is the default, set to 15 to make the graphics worse

3rd: Open your windows search and type regedit, and go here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\ ( your driver video id)(will be a bunch of random number and letters) \0000\UMD maybe have more 00000 folders but only one have the UMD folder inside, this is the right one, then create a new string named LodAdj, done, so double click the string LodAdj and type 15 click OK

Both quickLOD and that isnt working , I tried doing that , put it in this place - http://i.imgur.com/WTjGxWT.png
idk if it should be filled with stuff , but that one was the only folder called UMD inside the 0000 folders.... anyways i a string was already there with some random stuff , i thought it was from my Radeon Pro or Catalysm Control Center stuff , since i uninstalled that i thought i could just delete it so i did , created a string value with value 15.. still aint working , any ideas?

i dont, by your screenshot, you did everything right, its working fine here, theres a screenshot, http://i.imgur.com/352aZ1b.jpg?1

try to do all steps again if you want, delet LodAdj string if they already exist and create a new one

you probably know but for washed textures like quake just use mat_filterlightmaps 1 and
mat_filtertextures 1 will look like this http://i.imgur.com/swUZU2N.jpg?1

Sorry for the necro,

but are LOD tweaks in anyway banneable? Does RGL allow it?

Not a tech savy guy so messing with regedit kinda makes me uncomfortable.

Thank you in advance.
