#465 Comanglia's Config / FPS Guide in Customization

Okay, I removed the first spreadsheet since that was a disgrace to proper benchmarking. In addition of using just random pub samples, it seems like the -autoconfig wasn't disabling the autoexec file properly.

Now I used 2 different demos to bench: mob's benchmark found here http://www.teamfortress.tv/7598/tf2-benchmarks and my own recording from koth_king pub. These 2 demos represent different scenarios: light map with lots of players, and slightly heavier map with less players.

Spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UQtkFIUTI0wY57tN-1kP1deZgjFdibalwAnZN3JAo4c/edit?usp=sharing

Conclusion: Comanglia cfg works as it should, boosting the fps around 23% amongst all dx modes in my case. I lost the numbers for DX80 mode, but commonly the performance between DX80 vs DX81 and DX90 vs DX95 was very similar: in the end DX81 and DX90 beat their siblings by around 1-3%.

Don't beat your siblings.

Apologies.

Comanglia
There's a lot of factors here. The biggest one being that you're doing this in an active server so comparing 1 result to the next is going to be nigh impossible unless it was immediate and obvious. This is mostly due to fact if during Test 1 all 24 players are near you, and Test 2 has 22 people in the server and maybe 13 are near you, or you have all 24 players near you for the vast majority of the 2 min while in the other you have 24 people for maybe 10s.
Also valve has done a lot of optimize the game recently for it's auto settings.

Curious question where you bench marking the config for high quality pcs or the stability one?

I'm fully aware that the test conditions weren't ideal, but I wanted to do this in public servers since player models and especially miscs affect greatly to fps. The numbers between the 2 retested runs stayed fairly the same, so they're at least directional.

I'm using the stability one (mid-pc).

In hindsight, using demo files might be more ideal for testing this, since they can repeatedly re-create the same conditions. I'll be doing some re-tests tonight to see how it goes.

#462 Comanglia's Config / FPS Guide in Customization

I tested the differences between DX modes and between vanilla TF2 and this config, but it seems like it doesn't work at all for me.
(removed link to old benchmark sheet)

Config is definitely taking an effect since it removed the gibs when it was active, while normal TF2 settings kept the corpses on field. And it does the console message write during launch.
Any idea what could cause this?

EDIT: Outdated and incorrect.

#6 Steam Community overlay busted for TF2 only? in Q/A Help
LuganoSame. This started suddenly, one day I was fine, the next day the overlay stopped working. I defragmented the game twice, I have uncheck/check the "enable in game community" (in the steam config and in game properties) and I restarted tf2/steam/computer like a million times. I just have no idea what to do, I can't trade in game, I can't go to the store, I can't follow without minimizing, is the most annoying thing ever. Volvo pls, give fix.

Edit: This only happens with tf2, the overlay opens in other games. I actually have tried to open a non-valve game and tf2 at the same time, to see if the "gameoverlay.exe" could work but nothing. v0lvo halp.

FOUND THE SOLUTION

Try to "half-reinstalling" steam. Go to your steam folder. Delete all the files except steam.exe, then you can choose which folders you wanna delete. I deleted the bin folder and config folder. I kept all the other folders. Opened steam.exe, donwloaded stuff again and fixed. Good luck. VOLVO HIRE ME PLS

Nice one! I got a bit confused at first how you told to "delete all files" and then choose the folders (wtf?), but this is what I did: went to steam folder, deleted bin and config folders like you did + all gameoverlay.xxx files, and rebooted steam. BANG. Works like charm.
