#20 PSA: ESEA Client Update no longer causes stutter in TF2 General Discussion
DrPloxoComangliaDrPloxoFoxi think comanglia has a real argument over being upset that esea's client will be always active if he works with sensitive information

you can't really risk a leak even if it's less than 0.01% of a chance of that happening, especially when working with confidential dataIf it were quantifiable that they use it to view anything that is confidential it breaches their massive legal restrictions.
Keep in mind it doesn't necessarily have to be ESEA doing the wrong doing. Installing the client opens a backdoor the could be potentially exploited by a 3rd party.Dropbox also has a backdoor that can be abused. If the product is abused and is found to be the cause, it is at the liability of the company iirc.

Right and for that same reason I disable dropbox when I don't need to upload something.

marqueewhere's your proof that it actually does screencap and download/upload files

Cause you're to lazy to look. HERE

Just as a FYI "This information collection is not strictly limited to when you are logged in to the ESEA Client." this basically means the last statement "screenshots while you are logged in and playing a game through the ESEA Client" doesn't necessarily have to be true in terms of legal matters.

auralnaticComangliaESEA makes a literal backdoor that can at the VERY least view what's on my screen at any given moment.+screenshot regularly, access files, download/upload files, all with administrator access smh
don the tinfoil hats boys

I know some people might think it's a joke, but seriously it only take 1 overly trusted idiot/asshole to fuck everything up.

#3 PSA: ESEA Client Update no longer causes stutter in TF2 General Discussion
blendtecBefore the update today, causing the client to be constantly on, I would experience severe stutter and fps drops whenever playing on a non-ESEA server with the ESEA client open. I downloaded the update and restarted and now experience no stutter or FPS loss when playing in non-ESEA servers, several other people have had the same experience.

I'm just making this thread because a LOT of people were complaining about having to uninstall and reinstall just to play TF2, as far as I know this is not the case. So, this update doesn't effect non-cheating players at all.

So, this update doesn't effect non-cheating players at all.

Yes it does. I work for a business where I have to frequently use my local PC to view into sensitive documents, servers, switches and routers on a regular basis. ESEA makes a literal backdoor that can at the VERY least view what's on my screen at any given moment. Knowing this I would be putting my job in jeopardy just by installing the ESEA client, and not disabling it on a regular basis.

I know the argument about bitcoin mining is a bit old, but ESEA has already proven to have a lapse in judgement of giving someone enough control for something like that to slip through, that I have no idea that it may happen again or not.

Am I going to install the ESEA client to play matches? Yes. Am I going to do everything I can to make sure the client is disabled when I'm not in a match? Yes.

If I get banned for doing so that's fine with me.

#14 how to make the game less scout centric in The Dumpster

here's a config for you to try out and see if it works

mat_motion_blur_enabled 1 
mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1
mat_motion_blur_strength 10000
mat_powersavingsmode 1
fov_desired 70
mat_queue_mode 0
mat_viewportscale 0.5
mat_viewportupscale 1

Have fun with the shittiest looking, most nausea inducing game ever.

-edit-
I dare someone to try this, you'll want to tear your eyeballs out so fast it wouldn't even be funny.

#59 ESEA Client Update - Always On??? in TF2 General Discussion
TechDudeCan someone run some benchmarks comparing TF2 Performance with/without the ESEA client installed?

I've heard reports that uninstalling the client doesn't always remove the driver component, has anyone seen this?

Does the client show the resources it's using in Task Manager still?

Does it always stay in your taskbar?

I'll do my best to look into this tonight.

DamnEasyQ: What is the best OS for FPS?
A: Technically speaking Linux, but for most users it's actually Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 is big poo

If you don't know what you're doing (or you try to use 1000Hz WMOs). Though I still use windows 7, resource wise though 8.1 uses a good bit less and you would notice a 3-5% boost in performance between the 2 OS's

flyingbuddyHey I was using one if your older fps configs before and decided to try out your fps config for toasters here to see if it makes a difference. I really like it but it seems to be quite blurry. Do you know the command/s to make it less blurry :3

"mat_viewportscale 0.5"

The value for that command is .5 to 1.
.5 means textures will be rendered at half resolution, 1 means full. the closer to 1 you are the most clear the game will look, the closer you are to .5 the less gpu power you would use, which does actually matter for people using their processors "gpu" (I'm unsure of the technical term for it)

hooliadd instructions on disabling non-microsoft services and startup entries via msconfig

While I have done this for myself, I don't feel like the performance gain is as significant as some people believe, and could easily have someone disable something that they actually need/use

mat_mipmaptextures 0 / 1
https://imgur.com/a/gH9gL

Thought I'd let people know about this command it's a (almost) purely aesthetic difference
default it 1, and as far as I could tell setting it to 0 doesn't play well with the Cinema config with certain stairs/walkways

m_rawinput isn't "turned off" it's actually commented out so your previous settings should remain correct assuming they've been saved before

komorebiAleXPretty nice collection! you should try to find even more mods that remove unecessary stuff like no hats mod and no unusual effects
those are both in the post.

Technically what he said has possible meanings.
1. He legitimately thought I put no mention of mods in there and thought of those 2.
or
2. He thinks I should add more just like the other 2 I mentioned

and as answer to his inquiry I did add 2 more at the end of the 2nd Post (can't blame him it's A LOT of text)

konkeyIs there any difference between setting visual effects to "best performance" and using these options?
http://i.imgur.com/RiUvfW1.png ("../Team Fortress 2/hl2.exe" > properties > "Compatibility" tab)

Been using it for a long time, it disables aero and gets rid of input lag while TF2 is running but resets back to your standard theme when you exit the game, so Windows doesn't look like ass.

assuming the 1st line is "disable desktop composition" I believe that should work fine.
