#755 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

Pro_Axe_GamingI got some benchmarks for Comanglia's config vs mastercomfig:
Resolution 1024x768, 4:3 aspect ratio
CPU: i3-6006U
GPU: Intel HD 520

mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.090 seconds 77.41 fps (12.92 ms/f) 6.579 fps variability

mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.606 seconds 78.53 fps (12.73 ms/f) 6.422 fps variability

Comanglia's Config, delevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.357 seconds 76.81 fps (13.02 ms/f) 6.497 fps variability

Comanglia's Config, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.796 seconds 78.09 fps (12.81 ms/f) 6.524 fps variability

So my experience is that the difference is negligible, but it does seem to help performance when I'm recording ingame.

Are you using the igpu addon? Also, what preset are you using?

#752 mastercomfig - fps/customization config in Customization

aurahdoes leaving -dxlevel in your launch options cause issues? and if so why?

It increases startup time and resets some settings every time you load.

Shifta-full -w 1920 -h 1080 -console -refresh 144 -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores

ik the refresh command is pointless but I don't imagine it hurts

edit: I'm also getting the occasional microstutter that I wasn't getting without a config

full, w, h and refresh should do hurt, as they can force non-optimal video modes for the material system. It's better to set video settings in the options.

What are your specs and OS?

HazzordEver since a couple weeks after Jungle Inferno hit. My game is constantly freezes on Sending client info with no response whenever I connect to pug servers (i.e pugchamp tf2c and faceit). It just stays like that and I can't alt+F4 neither.
I have downloaded the latest version of your config 5.13 and use the comfig, igpu, and maxperformance preset.

What are your specs and OS?

SiiLVERIf that disables blood coming out of a cloaked spy after getting hit with the Tribalman's shiv will i still see him blink?

It just turns on low violence mode and thus replaces blood with a low violence version. Blinking is unrelated to the blood effect, it just occurs on damage.

#16 low fps :( in Q/A Help

maniacalI added the resolution launch options a while back when I used dx8 and it would automatically use the lowest 16:9 resolution. I’m still not sure as to what is causing this performance decrease.

But what about the -threads option?

Also, resolution changes if you keep the -dxlevel option in, instead of adding it for first launch and then removing it.

#14 low fps :( in Q/A Help

maniacal-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -swapcores -threads 4 -high -nouserclip -w 1920 -h 1080
i usually don't use net_graph or cl_showfps, i put it on for the screenshot

Don't use -threads at all, as it's only useful if you have 6 cores or more. -threads specifies the number of worker threads, which are additional threads to the 2 threads the engine already uses. By using -threads 4, you are telling the engine to use a total of 6 threads, which will overwork your CPU. Using any value below -threads 4 is useless, as the engine automatically allocates up to 3 additional threads according to your hardware, so just remove the launch option.

Also, I would recommend setting your resolution inside the game's video settings and removing -w and -h, as they are known to mess with the material system's performance.

You can try m_limitedcapture_workaround 1.

#11 low fps :( in Q/A Help

What are your launch options? Also, keep in mind that the net_graph reduces your FPS. A less intensive option for measuring FPS would be cl_showfps 1.

#9 low fps :( in Q/A Help

maniacalI am using Mastercoms’s config with no preset, which is basically default settings excluding mat_phong 0 (I don’t prefer shiny objects).

What version of the config are you using?

Veccidk if this'll fix it but it works for me

go into yr sound folder in tf2 and delete sound.cache

whenever i start dropping frames I do that and it seems to fix it for some reason

#21 Battlefront 2 is out ! in Other Games

All_Over_RSyep it's the most downvoted reddit post by over 600k downvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/ListOfComments/wiki/downvoted

I'd also like to note that EA has gotten more downvotes than someone who literally asked for them, a game dev who publicly wished a player would die and then didn't apologize, a presidential candidate who misunderstood nuclear energy, and the reddit CEO admitting to abusing his powers and manually editing comments, all combined, times 10.

Good job EA. Excelling where it counts for you.

alec_the real tragedy with this game is the random spread and inaccuracy on the guns

The tragedy is the bland, uninspired combat with practically no enemy variation which becomes repetitive and boring after 1 hour. Oh yeah, and almost instantly regenerating health and infinite ammo.

sagedo the r_ambient commands not work in dx81 ? i feel like they dont make any difference there.
btw theres a line for r_lod 63 but console says this

] r_lod 63
sv_cheats=0 prevented changing r_lod outside of the range [-1,2] (was 63).

Sorry, this was accidentally left after a test. Fix will be in the next release.

About r_ambient commands, I'm not sure, maybe it's your r_worldlights setting.
