I'd like to imagine it's common knowledge at this point but DX8 support has been axed by Nvidia/AMD in their newer drivers, particles and other things will now fail to load etc.

For people who prefer the DX8 Visual style over dx9, this will get you much closer to it:

r_ambientboost 0
r_rimlight 0
r_worldlights 0
mat_phong 0
mat_specular 0
mat_disable_lightwarp 1
mat_hdr_level 0
mat_monitorgamma 1.9

Also the windows 10 creators update completely breaks m_rawinput 0 so that it completely ignores slow mouse inputs, this applies to CS:GO as well. Welcome to 2017.

wrong post lol, oh well

Way too many pages to go through, sorry if this has been answered. In the toaster config it says "mat_specular 0
mat_trilinear 0" but in the config it says if they are both set to 0 the fps are worse, what do i do?

in my experience setting both to 1 gives the highest fps. you can experiment yourself with the benchmark demo http://www.teamfortress.tv/7598/tf2-benchmarks

edit: i should clarify that this was using comanglia's config previous to the recent changes

if the bottleneck is the graphics card i guess using those settings would help, thats probably why its in the toaster settings

can you link your benchmark? whats your setup

================================= FIX FOUND =================================

It is a HUD problem. If anyone is having this issue please reinstall you HUD.
(Thanks to GrinReaper)

==========================================================================

I just installed "Max FPS for High Quality PCs" at dxlevel 81 and it did this

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING

I have tried:

* Verifying my files
* Puting "-dxlevel 70 -mat_forcehardwaresync 0" in launch options
* hud_reloadscheme

I was using transparent viewmodels when I was on dx9 I don't know if there are any files left over or if that is a problem

Please help!!

First of all why in the world would you put -dxlevel 70 in tf2 that's asking for your game not to work.
So remove -dxlevel 70 and use 95 or 81

Secondly I don't think that pink/black screen is a verify files issue its more HUD related. (Probably your HUD is broken)

And lastly Comanglia did say he wasn't updating this config anymore so don't expect an answer, just use this one

I didn't think dx7 would work but I looked up how to fix this and someone said to it that so I tried

however you were completely right about it being a HUD issues so thank you very much :)

Hello, friend-os
I am using the high quality PC config and i cannot get the enviornmental shadows to go away. I checked ingame and
r_shadowmaxrendered 0
r_shadowrendertotexture 0
r_shadows 0
nb_shadow_dist 0
all of these are on zero as they are supposed to be. Yet i can see shadows all over the map. Same for bloom from lamps.
I don't even know if this is a cfg problem but i dont know where else to go.

those control entity shadows, not map shadows. without shadows, the map would be completely bright (mat_fullbright 1)

Clean TF2 is an option to get shadowless maps / unlit materials / fullbright without sv_cheats. That said it completely breaks on sv_pure last I checked, so you need to know what servers you're going on before you do that.

it doesn't work on sv_cheats 0, there's no way to remove the map shadows on sv_pure 2/cheats 0 i believe. dx8 might make them less noticeable

After installing this config, for some reason in spectator mode I can't see the player count of both teams at the top of the screen in arena mode (I play a bunch of freak fortress 2). It only shows up when I'm respawned/alive. Any help? :(
