The medium config isn't in a very good spot right now. I'd recommend the medium-low, medium-high or high presets.

I tried both with similar results that I would consider margin of error.

Are you sure you tested them under the same conditions? And did you try the medium high config?

fixed

I used a demo to test the configs and cleaned my tf2 for each cfg install. I am currently using the medium-high cfg and I gives me similar results.

You already asked this in your own thread and I answered you there: http://www.teamfortress.tv/47516/dxlevel-81-spy-arm-glitch#7

Shaders are not included in my config. I don't think it's even possible to access or mod Source's built in shaders. It's specifically dx8's shaders.

There's a fix for this coming in an upcoming update.

I used the rate generator to get my optimal rate and splitrate. I would like your advice on the other network settings in your config as I feel they aren't optimized, I suspect because of my internet speeds.

The default settings aren't unplayable, however, other players movement is choppy along with hit-scan registration feeling unnatural with my cross hair position and mouse input. I hit shots I shouldn't, and miss shots I should.

One more request I have that with a 2-monitor set up I really like having the game run in a borderless window. However, you suggested not using (noborder -fullscreen -w -h -full -sw) on your wiki and that I should set these in-game.

The display modes don't give me an option like this. When playing in a windowed game I exit the game because my cursor will cross over to my 2nd monitor.

Do you know of any settings that could give me a smooth alt+tab but without the cursor issue ? (google searches only give me people saying to use the settings that you advise against.)

Confused by the AA system. I'm using medium high 6.7.0 and want some AA since this preset has none by default -- what console option should I enter to get some AA that won't wreck performance, and should that option go into custom.cfg or could it cause issues there?

hi sorry this might be a pleb question but to switch from one cfg preset to another do I need to clean up my install again or can I just replace the old one with a new one? like can I just delete the medium preset cfg from my custom folder and put the medium-low in, or do I have to wipe my cloud files and everything again?

You don't need to clean your install once you're using mastercomfig. It's only if you want to reset your TF2 to default or if you go to another config.

hey, just wondering, can you enable csaa without msaa?

gotcha thanks

i think so

I was wondering if it was possible to make flames invisible using the -force_vendor_id and -force_device_id launch options. I know people used them to fix invisible flames by using a certain graphic card number. If it sounds like it could work is there somewhere I could look to find the corresponding IDs for certain GPUs and test em?

Also have you had any luck fixing the issue with enabling the wait command on local servers?

So would using the low preset vpk and putting the lighting_medium module alias in custom.cfg be like using the old comp preset?

try downloading the lighter particles mod and preloading the flames should be invis on casual servers

.

Tried this with preset 3 of the particle limitation pack and it didnt work for me.

How do I disable demos starting every time I play a match?

Also, how do I disable advanced options for medic? It keeps booting with the same settings, even after I change them.

Maybe they're set in your custom.cfg? Mastercomfig doesn't change those settings.

It actually does set hud_medichealtargetmarker to 1

I recently moved to a different PC from my old one which had no issues. For this computer I followed the clean up process, then added in my custom and cfg folders from my old pc. I'm using the medium-low preset but whenever I launch tf2 my advanced video settings have model, shader, and texture detail set to high which I have to change to low every time I launch the game. When trying comanglia's config by putting it all into an autoexec file, I had the same issue with my video settings as though the autoexec doesn't run automatically on its own, for that config I just typed exec autoexec every time I launched the game and it worked then. I have the mastercomfig .VPK files inside /tf /custom and my config files inside /tf /cfg. My autoexec is now empty but I have a custom.cfg. My question is, do you have any ideas with why the .VPK files or my autoexec.cfg (when it had things inside it) are not running on their own?

How do I get my game to look like this? I am using the medium-high preset with mat_phong 0 and r_rimlight 0 in my custom.cfg file. So far, it just looks like the default lighting but in the 3D model in my HUD, it looks like it has mat_phong 0, same thing with the 3D models in the loadout panel.

Also, without using this config, mat_phong 0 worked.

Edit: I fixed it by going though your config and setting the default light settings.

How come fps_max always caps fps at a value somewhere below the specified value for me? E.g. fps_max 240 gives me a cap of ~233, fps_max 300 gives me around 292, etc. I had to override the default mastercom cap of 240 because of this (I play on 240hz monitor)

The net settings were a bit confusing, what interp should I use, different ones for hitscan and projectile or one for all?
