tf2cfg beta

autoexec.cfg

// master comfig - 1.4.0 (October 14 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, and then remove it

// --- 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
// since your fps is limited to 60, there is no point to receiving any more packets than that
// 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 60
// 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 60

// 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
cl_interp 0

// There's 106 packets per second
// And packets could be a max possible size of 1288 bytes
rate 136528

// still enable splitpackets
net_splitpacket_max rate 136528

// --- SHADOWS --- \\

// half the maximum amount of shadows (32)
r_shadowmaxrendered 16

// render shadows once, not twice
cl_blobbyshadows 1

// threaded shadow manager
// this actually doesn't do anything
// in the latest source engine base (2013)
// so it's likely that tf2 doesn't use it either,
// but either may use it in the future,
// if valve ever opts to use this
// value again
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1

// disable shadow depth texture
r_flashlightdepthtexture 0

// --- RAGDOLLS --- \\

// after the ragdoll becomes stationary,
// it doesn't really need to be touched again
// we all know that the funniest ragdoll physics
// happen when they are created and matter less after that
ragdoll_sleepaftertime 1.0f

// nobody cares about ragdolls when they've been rotting on the ground
// so make them fade out faster
cl_ragdoll_fade_time 5
g_ragdoll_fadespeed 200

// let's calm down with the physics a bit.
// scale the push force down to half.
phys_pushscale 0.5

// --- GRAPHICS --- \\

// these settings will optimize graphics
// without causing any noticeable downgrades

// do not limit fps in the engine. set this limit elsewhere, in gpu settings
fps_max 0

// you don't see like half the battlefield with this on 75
fov_desired 90

// without getting too in-depth,
// we're making it so we don't have to calculate
// what we can see or not every time for lighting
// but it's less accurate, so lower quality
r_lightcache_zbuffercache 1

// lines for hitscan bullets are traced and simulate motion
// honestly deceiving and also affects performance
r_drawtracers_firstperson 0
// makes tracers more visible,
// so it's some extra fluff
tracer_extra 0

// this disables flex anims when fps is lower than (1 / ai_expression_frametime)
// also does just a tiny bit more expensive check to find out if the animation is in the player's view,
// rather than just using PVS (potentially visible set)
ai_expression_optimization 1
ai_expression_frametime 0.022

// async model loading
mod_load_mesh_async 1
mod_load_anims_async 1
mod_load_vcollide_async 1

// 1 is a good balance between
// performance and stability
// you can try setting this to
// 2 and if you don't get crashes,
// then enjoy your increased perf!

// uses fast z reject on hardware that supports it
r_fastzreject -1

// this was last known to only be used on the Xbox 360
// but Valve may have decided that the extra batches are worth
// doing on the PC
// it doesn't hurt setting this to on, since it will be ignored
// if it is not used
// also, this setting only works if r_fastzreject is on
// basically just does the same fast z reject, but on displacements as well
r_fastzrejectdisp 1

// distance at which detail props stop being shown
cl_detaildist 1000

// props will fade through this distance
// 1000 means they will fade whenever they are visible, since detail dist is 1000
cl_detailfade 1000

// lower physics props limit to a meaningful one for tf2
cl_phys_props_max 10

// disable jigglebones at 46fps instead of 20fps
cl_jiggle_bone_framerate_cutoff 46

// increase frame tolerance for skipping fast temp ent collisions (syringes)
cl_fasttempentcollision 15

// skips an extra step to get textures cached
// may result in stutter, but increases fps
// if you have stutter, enable it (set to 1)

// don't do software AA
mat_software_aa_strength 0

// make it so things like gibs,
// breakable props can only
// break in to 7 pieces
func_break_max_pieces 7

// don't scale the break limit down
// because it's already reduced
func_break_reduction_factor 1

// reduce the amount of dynamic lights
// in accordance with our shadow number
r_maxdlights 16

// --- GRAPHICAL DOWNGRADES -- \\
// uncomment if you want to boost your fps
// with some options that downgrade the fps
// normally, this isn't required, as most of
// the time, tf2 is cpu bound, but
// on weaker gpus, higher quality graphics
// may be causing low fps
