May I ask why the zip installation method was removed? I feel like I remember reading that certain improvements could only be made using the VPK's, but when I extracted the VPK's to see what I was different, all I saw was the new game_override config file. Speaking of which, cl_detaildist and cl_detailfade always used to revert back to their default values on map change, I'm not sure if they still do though.

The game override file would require a unique ZIP for each quality level for cheap water and detail prop distance values. They still are set by the map (not set to default).

I don't see anything the ZIP even offers over the VPK. It's literally inferior in every way, but now it is also even harder to maintain so it was removed.

I noticed the regen script I use for local servers is causing me to crash when using mastercomfig-comp.vpk and was wondering how to fix it.

It crashes when I press X, not when I exec the .cfg file containing it from the console btw. Doesnt crash when I running without mastercoms.

bind x "regen"
alias regen "sv_allow_wait_command 1;sv_cheats 1;hurtme -999999;give func_regenerate;alias regenloop +loop;regenloop;bind x unregen"
alias unregen "ent_Fire !self sethealth 200;alias regenloop null;bind x regen"
alias regenloop "+loop"
alias +loop "impulse 101;wait 100;-loop"
alias -loop "wait 100;regenloop"
echo "Regen loaded. Toggle with X"

I personally liked the zip method because I was used to looking at the various commands and checking if the config author put in anything I didnt want like net settings or a null movement script etc. Granted now a days I have that shit defined in my own cfgs which run after so it doesnt matter. I have to admit the renaming cfgs and vpk method is incredibly convenient for upgrading.

Edit: Also it would be cool if you put a download link to your benchmark in the first post.

help. My game will randomly "Choke" and freeze me in place and then put me back to where I was originally a second ago. I've been told that it's because I'm losing packets so I've tried to set my interp and interp_ratio to whatever it tells me the best is to protect against it in the config. But it remains the same. It gets to the point where it will last from 1-5 second(s) and it makes people invisible forcing me to frequently record demos. This happens with any config and my ISP is AT&T UVERSE if that is the problem. This only happens when on a server and spikes the values in the net_graph bar to 1000+ when it happens.

What's your CPU, what's your upload speed, do you use ethernet or WiFi

6.5.2 released with optimizations, bug fixes, customization improvements and documentation updates.

Also, I'd love to see your custom configs! If you have a custom.cfg that you're proud of, please share it with me for inclusion in an official list of the community's custom configs!

From google results unless I'm supposed to be using a different option:

I use ethernet

EDIT: Testing with net_graph shows in DM servers I get massive choke up to 8 and loss up to 5. I have normal ping. I also use mastercomfig 5.12.0 as it works the best for me

Looking good!

What's the best way to share custom configs with you?

Yeah I'd love to know as well. How about a system like what's on cfg.tf ?

Here's mine: (I use m0re hud)

Thanks!

As long as I can download it easily, I don't really care how you share it. Some good sites seem to be GitHub Gist, Google Drive and Dropbox.

Sorry, I can't support anything but the latest version of the config as these issues could have been fixed in a later version. You can still use the upload rate generator to determine the best upload rate settings for you, though.

Ok I'll try it thank you for answering me at least! I'll try the latest version. thanks.

I have the issue that when i use your newest release, with the maxperformance tweak, my laptop (lenovo y510p) starts overheating like crazy and the graphics card's fans spin enormously fast.
I've tested this also with the comp tweak and its the same.

I have my fps capped at 121 and uncommented it in the comfig.cfg.

Maybe cap it at 61 and it might be less crazy

Plus i cant even get 120 constantly, but have 70-80 fps

i get a constant 120 with 6.4.2, also did you ever try playing with 60fps?

I do. My lappy bad.

Are there any relatively new versions without everything commented out and aren't using aliases?

I personally liked to go through it and pick and choose things I needed based on their category in the config, but now you have things that are related to each other in different parts of the config.

Could you give any examples? Also, I think once you get the hang of the modules system, it will work better for your needs.

6.5.3 released with competitive update changes, enhanced smoothness and networking improvements.

My regen script from #1174 still causes a hard freeze a few seconds after using it while on mastercomfig-comp-preset.vpk 6.5.3. Wondering if there is a command thats responsible or how I can alter the script to avoid this.

Are you sure your wait command works?

Hola, I have been experiencing this weird issue when joining servers where I see flames and a foggy effect appearing for a few secs. It never bothers me once I select a team and a class but when I try to record demos, it randomly pops up, which is quite annoying.
Any idea of which commands could be causing this ? (using a mix of the commands from the main comfig, the maxperformance ones and stuff I had set already before that didnt caused that issue) The issue appeared more than a month ago, when I updated the comfig to the latest version back then (I had never seen that before).

I also had that crap when I had transparent viewmodels, but it was also in regular gameplay and idk whether it was in demos. When I deleted the transparent viewmodels it got fixed.

using the comp preset none of my class configs are working and im not able to switch my weapons

rename all your class configs to have _c at the end. for example scout_c

sort of worked I can switch weapons now but crosshairs don't change they stay as crosshair 5 and only change color and interps aren't changing between classes ie from .0152 on soldier stays the same when I switch to scout.

edit: vtf crosshairs also aren't working but that may be attributed to the crosshairs not changing from above

im having this problem where i play a jump map offline and everything works normally but if i exit tf2 and restart it, the game looks jittery as fuck like im playing with a bigger tickrate and everything is sped up
the only fix is to restart windows
any solutions ? host_thread mode doesnt work

That's weird, what does your default_crosshair file look like?

What's your PC specs, mastercomfig preset, addons + version, custom.cfg if you have one and launch options?
