what is this, exactly? Does it mean i can make the game look shittier to gain more fps?

not necessarily look shittier, but they definitely deal with better performance.

When I turn on positional audio, it doesn't work for some people. I think it's people who have tags at the front of their names.

It also seems to be mirrored, at least for people on the opposite team.

Ah yes, the Halloween update, where pubbers with high pitched, squeaky voices yell at you for playing the game instead of farming shitty items.

Some of the engine changes look pretty cool. I think the new rendering options are the same ones they implemented for dota 2. It is probably easier to play around the blurriness in an rts as opposed to an fps though.

confirmed incoming mat_disable_phong.
Been waiting since 2010 for this.

@Oafmeal, check if your game has phong or not, apparently fog is a side effect of no phong and w/e is going on right now for certain configurations.
