TechDudeFix the default network convars used for tf2.
New players shouldn't have to worry about setting cl_interp.
The default values are something like
cl_updaterate 20
cl_cmdrate 20
cl_interp .1
These result in horrible additional and unnecessary game lag, smarter game defaults would go a long way to improving the experience of new players. Really bad networks may need these settings, but honestly these defaults are from 15+ years ago and they no longer make sense.
These should be set by default: (in -autoconfig!!!)
cl_updaterate 66
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_interp .033
keep in mind not everyone has the best internet. Their's still THOUSANDS of players playing outside of their region, sometimes on DSL or Satellite internet.
Default
cl_updaterate 40
cl_cmdrate 40
cl_interp .1 (Still pretty relevant for poor connections)
-I'd also add to the advanced option menu sliders to up these to 66 each. and something to change interp from .0152 to .1 as a slider as well
-Better Crosshair options like CSS and CSGO (including outlines)
-Small boost to footstep sounds. (not nearly the level of CS though)
-In game option for users with monitors over 60hz. i.e. 75Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz. Being able to be set ingame.
-Updates to the tutorials on classes. Maybe make some basic video tutorials (Planetside 2 did a great job with this)
-What lansky said.
-Make demos more stable, and fix the issue of painted items not showing as painted in STVs and demos. (idk that might just be me)
-edit-
@evokje
They used to keep track of that for TF2, but I don't think they've updated it since 2010.
Bolded what I thought was most important / easiest to do
