From comfig.cfg:

Hey, are there some command aside from mat_picmip that control how skins look ? Bc the latter also affects how the game looks overall ...

host_thread_mode 0

No, unfortunately.

Hey, I've got some questions and i think here is the right place to ask them:
1. I'm playing TF2 on a laptop (y510p if it matters) and when im playing it with your config (with the maxframes config and fps capped to 121 it makes weird sounds from my laptop, when im using feliks's i get worse fps, but no sounds...

2. how exactly does the dx level override work?

sounds as in from the hardware or the speakers?

when the game launches, it checks the dxsupport file for information on certain settings. some of these settings are cheat cvars that cant be set in the console, but are set from the dxsupport file.

4.5.4 released with improvements and cleanup to rope configuration and optimization, fixes to dxsupport, new midquality preset and comment updates.

Yo what's the command to dismiss all the "newbie bubbles" that pop up in the main menu and indicate where everything is every single time I launch the game ...

All of them are listed under HUD > Tutorial

Thanks !

In the network section of the config, I don't see

 cl_lagcompensation

mentionned anywhere. Has this command become completly obselete ? Comanglia formerly set it to 1 fyi.
Same question for net_maxfilesize

 cl_lagcompensation

cl_lagcompensation is 1 by default, and I haven't seen anyone disable it so there's no point in setting it.

net_maxfilesize is in the config https://github.com/mastercoms/tf2cfg/blob/master/mastercomfig/cfg/comfig.cfg#L84

How to make that rescue ranger monitor and weapons visible while selecting class?

I'm on linux and have bad internet but a decent CPU. Should I be using net_queued_packet_thread 0?

I think maxperformance.cfg is missing this: r_dopixelvisibility 0

Yes, Linux's network system isn't bad and doesn't require the additional queue. Most of it is already disabled for Linux users, but disabling it and adding the launch option will save memory and a little bit of CPU.

r_dopixelvisibility does occlusion for glows, and building_cubemaps 1 removes most of the negative performance impact from enabling it, so I think it is a net positive.

snd_mixahead 0.04 seems reasonably attainable, 10ms less audio delay is nothing to be sniffed at

This is purely dependent on your audio stack and hardware. If you get no crackling and similar glitches give it a shot.

Are you suggesting there are things I can do that would enable me to lower it further?

Yeah, a good starting point is to measure DPC latency to make sure it's not abnormally high. However, if you haven't noticed any issues such as audio crackling or mouse input misbehaving you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Just tested CS:GO and I can run snd_mixahead 0.0035 on a 20 man server 0.0

Sorry I missed this. Not sure, maybe mat_picmip 0 or r_rootlod 0. If not, I'll have to test.

4.5.5 released with better dxlevel control, improved comments/formatting and pyrovision optimizations.

Hello mastercoms,
I seem to have huge fps drops when I uncomment "hud_autoreloadscript 1"

Launch Options:
-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nouserclip -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores -high -NoQueuedPacketThread -thread 6 -mat_dxlevel 95

Changed commands from comfig.cfg:

hud_autoreloadscript 1 Commented:

Meb's Benchmark:

2639 frames 14.401 seconds 183.25 fps ( 5.46 ms/f) 12.382 fps variability

Your Benchmark:

hud_autoreloadscript 1 Uncommented:

Meb's Benchmark:

2639 frames 14.657 seconds 180.06 fps ( 5.55 ms/f) 13.788 fps variability

Your Benchmark:

4812 frames 26.144 seconds 184.06 fps ( 5.43 ms/f) 62.056 fps variability

Meb's Benchmark again, after I run your benchmark:

2639 frames 20.461 seconds 128.97 fps ( 7.75 ms/f) 53.645 fps variability

no clue whether this increased my overall fps however the game is running alot smoother changing over from comanglia's. Thank you!

hud_autoreloadscript 1 reloads the animation script each time you run an animation, you probably don't want this enabled for normal play.

would mat_queue_mode -1 be better to avoid thermal problems in a laptop ?

<3 i'm so glad to hear it's working well for you!

Well, it depends on your CPU, but usually balanced core usage uses less power so I would continue using mat_queue_mode 2.

I've now changed the documentation for this command to be more clear.

where do i put the stuff(ie texture_preload_list.txt etc...) below the cfg folder

The whole mastercomfig folder should go in tf/custom.
