In-game bug looks like this

https://i.imgur.com/AfbW70y.jpg

I'll try to see if I can spot anything in console.

Nothing medigun-related in console as much as I can see.

Have you tried IDA Pro or something similar on the linux/osx binaries to find references to the splitpacket convars?

Hm, that's strange, though are you sure it has to be something with my config? It could be a TF2 bug.

I have done some debugging and a bit of decompiling but it honestly takes a long time to get anything out of it so I haven't looked at much stuff. Hopefully I'll get to figuring out what the splitpacket cvars do eventually.

Have you looked into testing with the net_showsplits command? I believe it dumps to console how it handles splits.

IIRC I did, but it was too spammy to give any useful information. Could be wrong though, it was more than a year ago since I used network debugging to test things.

These are my final results:
Comp quality
1024x768
i3-6006U
Intel HD 520
dxlevel 9.1

2639 frames 34.502 seconds 76.49 fps (13.07 ms/f) 6.272 fps variability

Overall the comp quality pretty much matches Comanglia's stability, I'm gonna stick with this config.

.

Comp.cfg is an addon to your main Comfig that changes some settings due to specific situation (e.g comp.cfg is more for competitive players, obviuosly). It should be executed right after the main part of the config

I installed your config but when I opened the game the fog seems thicker.

Launch Options:

-novid -nojoy -high -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -reuse -primarysound -threads 2 -nogammaramp -disable_d3d9_hacks -usetcp -softparticlesdefaultoff -snoforceformat

Can you help? The only way to remove this fog is to use comangliacoms config (toaster preset) back or set sv_cheats to 1 and set fog_enable to 0 and fog_override to 1.

I tried to set r_pixelfog to 0 but it still doesn't work.

I'm using my custom.cfg preset btw.

Specs:
1280x720
i3-4170 3.7 ghz
AMD Radeon (TM) R5 M330
dxlevel 90

Remove -disable_d3d9_hacks
Also you shouldn't put -threads in any value lower than 4 so its probably better that you remove it

Thanks, I'm gonna try it.

EDIT: Thanks,man. Glad you helped. The fog is gone now.

Since this weekend my desktop is dual boot Windows 10/Linux. Once i'll be on win, i'll benchmark there too.
Having tf2 on SSD on win and on HDD on linux shouldn't invalidate the benchmarks, right? SSD is just about loading times afaik

I've HUGE fps drops on linux while playing MGE on mge_training_v8_beta4b:

7257 frames 60.088 seconds 120.77 fps ( 8.28 ms/f) 50.627 fps variability

i know @mastercoms plays on linux too... any idea of what it could be?
If i play even one match of mge, i have to restart tf2 or i'll have those fps drops in all other maps too

Oh the strange thing is that if i go on a mge_ohiguv_sucks_a12 server, i've no issues on linux!

Ran some benchmarks on Mint 17.3. Yikes. Anyone got any advice to improve performance?

CPU: Core i7 870

OS: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.

Linux users: maybe try gl_batch_tex_creates 0;gl_batch_tex_destroys 0.

If that doesn't work, set them back to 1 and then try gl_nullqueries 0.

If that doesn't work, set that back to 1 and then try gl_minimize_rt_tex 0.

What are your launch options and preset?

Just mastercomfig with
-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores

Awesome! That' fixed the deal for me on mge_training_v8_beta4b:

7257 frames 29.217 seconds 248.38 fps ( 4.03 ms/f) 22.865 fps variability

Cleaned configs up, added gl_batch_tex_creates 0;gl_batch_tex_destroys 0 and bam!

2639 frames 22.400 seconds 117.81 fps ( 8.49 ms/f) 8.030 fps variability

Thanks a lot! This is so much better.

I'd appreciate it if people could test net_compresspackets 0;net_maxroutable 576 to see its effects on FPS and networking (hitreg/projectiles)

mastercoms, where should I put dxsupport_override.cfg and texture_preload_list.txt? Does it improve my framerates?

Is it ok to use gl commands on Windows?

You should be putting the mastercomfig and mastercomfig_exec folders into your tf/custom folder. They do improve framerates and load times.

gl commands won't work on Windows.

i am currently using Comanglia's stability config on my shitty computer.
i want to switch to this config but i have a a question.

does any of my personal settings conflict with this config?

Not really, atleast for me.

I might actually try again if there are any effects.

EDIT: Nothing at all.
EDIT2: One question btw, is there any commands that will make my game look blocky? I can use the toaster preset from comangliacoms and get blocky textures.

It won't affect benchmarks since those are local. You'll have to test in an actual multiplayer game.

The maxperformance preset will make it look like that. The commands that cause it are mat_filtertextures 0;mat_filterlightmaps 0.

Just remove cl_interp 0.

From console when creating local server:

SV_ActivateServer: setting tickrate to 66.7

Are you sure the tickrate is 66? This seems strange if that is the case.

Two things:

• The comments here seem unclear. net_compresspackets 0 removes CPU load from packet compression, yet you recommend net_compresspackets 1 for weaker CPUs?
  
• You seem to be using settings that reduce CPU load at the cost of increasing network usage? (Again, the comments are a bit unclear.) Are there settings that could be used to do the opposite - reduce network usage possibly at the cost of increased CPU load?

SV_ActivateServer: setting tickrate to 66.7

Seeing as you were talking about networking,

my answer was correct. You can only send a max of 66 snapshots every second, since it's impossible to send 2/3 of a snapshot. The fact that the server ticks slightly faster is irrelevant.

Yes, because disabling compression increases the number of split packets you'll have to send, which by default are sent on another thread. If you have a weaker CPU, it would be better to use compression to avoid splitpackets whenever possible.

My settings don't do one or the other. It balances CPU load and network usage where it is useful for performance and network performance.

Besides, network usage and CPU load aren't inversely related, except for this one example with packet compression vs splitpackets, and even then the relation is not very clear most of the time.

One question btw, is there any commands that will make my game look blocky? I can use the toaster preset from comangliacoms and get blocky textures.
