auto-exec

when i first played .08 i noticed a huge decrease in frame rate so i copied my autoexec from .071. i was wondering if .08 even searches for it, seeing how you have to create the file in the cfg folder.

on a side note: anything else i can add to it that would further increase performance?
heapsize 262144
mat_bumpmap 0
mat_specular 0
rate 25000
pp_bloom 0
mat_bloom 0
mat_picmip 1
mat_fastspecular 1
mat_fastbump 1
sv_forcepreload 1
cl_forcepreload 1
cl_smooth 0

 

just add the line 'exec autoexec.cfg' at the end of config.cfg to make sure.

 

You'll see which cfg's are execed in the console, at game and map load.

 

HDR? <filler>

 

High Dynamic Range, the blinding effect you get when looking at the sun.

 

-.-

I know. I was asking if he had it enabled.

 

isn't that disabled too if you do mat_specular 0?

 

may have found a problem for low-end users. here is an excerpt from my concole:


execing autoexec.cfg
Unknown command "heapsize"
Unknown command "pp_bloom"
Unknown command "mat_bloom"
Unknown command "mat_fastbump"
Unknown command "-novideo"

 

You have to set heapsize and novideo from the "command line", also known as "launch options" in Steam.

They DON'T WORK if set somewhere else.

 

pp_bloom was for Empires implementation of bloom/hdr. It's no longer there.
mat_fastbump -> mat_fastnobump
mat_bloom doesn't exist any longer. There are only bloom factors to change.
mat_antialias is 1 by default but if you change it you crash.
