autoexec.cfg

// master comfig - 1.6.0 ((November 8 2016)
// doesn't set things to their default values like in other fps configs
// so don't worry if an option is missing
// launch options: -high -novid -nojoy -noff -nohltv
// if you use a controller or joystick, remove -nojoy
// if you use haptic feedback, remove -noff
// if you use sourcetv, remove -nohltv
// if you update the config, add -autoconfig,
// launch tf2, then remove -autoconfig from your launch options

// --- TESTING --- \\

// save console output to GAME_FOLDER/tf/console.log
//con_logfile console.log

// display developer output
//developer 4

// --- FILESYSTEM --- \\

// modern systems can read more files
filesystem_max_stdio_read 64

// buffer IO to reduce disk IO
filesystem_unbuffered_io 0

// --- NETWORKING --- \\

// for both of these commands, 66 is the default max rate, so you can't go higher
// cmdrate is the maximum packets per second the client can send to the server
// so like you tell the server i moved forward or i shot my rocket launcher, crouched, and jumped
cl_cmdrate 66
// updaterate is the maximum packets per second the server can send to the client
// so like the server tells you this pyro is running towards you and
// is using his primary fire on her flame thrower
cl_updaterate 66

// interp is the delay between packets
// using interp ratio is more accurate than setting it manually,
// so set it to 0 to make this happen

r_shadowrendertotexture 0

// alternatively, you can enable
// flashlight depth textures and shadow textures
// or just shadow textures
// and just lower the shadow resolution
// won't be as much as an fps boost,
// but shadows will look nicer i guess
// also rendering shadows to texture
// gives you an advantage, since
// sometimes shadows bleed through
//r_flashlightdepthres 512

// --- RAGDOLLS --- \\

tracer_extra 0
