Console commands for performance

[HyperTails]

Are there any console commands that lower or raise performance or graphics?
Because my computer keeps overheating whenever I play the thing, but left4dead 2 and everything else runs fine.

[Wootman]

mat_picmip is for changing graphics -10 is super high, and 10 is super low and butt ugly.

[katowse]

Take a look at my .cfg file.

It has a ton of commands that will help you out.

mat_picmip only changes texture resolution, by the way.

[E-102 Gamma]

Some multi-threading [I]might[/I] help. It'll boost performance without sacrificing any kind of quality on multi-core systems. It probably won't do anything on single-core systems, though.

// Multithreading (1/4 Life's settings, which he tweaked for stability)
host_thread_mode 1 //Forces on multithreading. Defaults to 0.
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1 //Threaded world and flashlight shadows.
r_threaded_particles 1 //Threaded particles (Defaults to 1)
r_threaded_renderables 1 //Threaded renderables

And few launch options,

-heapsize <Half of your RAM in kilobytes> -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -noipx -nojoy

For example, I have 2 gigs, so I use 1048576.

Also, a little memory adjustment...

datacachesize ## //GeneralDataCache in MB. Use 64MB for 1GB, 128MB for >= 2GB
mem_max_heapsize ### //Has to be set higher because of CommandLineCommand "-heapsize"| Maximum amount of memory to dedicate to engine hunk and datacache, dont user more then half of your Memory

Read the comments after those two commands. Replace the #s with the appropriate settings. Set the the second one to half of your computer's memory.

Some texture preloading doesn't hurt.

sv_forcepreload 1 //Forces serverside preloading.
cl_forcepreload 1 //Forces clientside preloading.

If that still doesn't fix any problems, try setting "fps_max" to about 30-60 at the main menu to limit how many frames per second the game can render.

If you really can't fix the problem, no matter how hard you try, I have a last resort for you. Unfortunately, this will make TF2 look absolutely [I]terrible.[/I] Fortunately, you'll get a bazillion extra FPS! In case you don't already know how to install this, go to TF2's cfg directory, which is usually at C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<Username>\team fortress 2\tf\cfg and copy one of the CFGs there. Rename it to whatever you like, erase everything inside it, and replace it with this. In-game or at the main menu, use "exec <whatever you named the file>" to execute the commands.

Don't forget to put "-high" in the game's parameters, it'll make TF2 use higher CPU priority.

[QUOTE=xZippy;20727758]Don't forget to put "-high" in the game's parameters, it'll make TF2 use higher CPU priority.[/QUOTE]

This wont give any noticeable improvements unless you have lots of background processes eating up CPU.
It will probably just cause instability since windows processes will get less priority than tf2, which can cause weird effects like the mouse lagging.

[Shugo]

Just an FYI, since I still see a lot of high performance configurations using it: do NOT use mat_showlowresimage 1. All it does is overlay unfiltered low-res textures on TOP of the regular filtered ones, causing a LOSS in FPS. What you want to do instead is directly disable the filtering on the regular textures:

mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_filtertextures 0

This will make everything rather pixelated, but it'll produce the performance-enhancing effect that most people seem to believe mat_showlowresimage does. Even better, it supports transparency unlike mat_showlowresimage, so big black squares don't get in the way of everything.

Try removing or changing the memory settings. They don't work for everyone. You're supposed to read the comments and figure out what you're supposed to set it to. Since I have 2 Gb of RAM and a lot of memory, I have it set pretty high. If you have 1 Gb, give it 512. If you have only 512 of RAM, give it 256. You should never set it to more than half of your computer's RAM. If you don't know anything about RAM and cache size, you really shouldn't be messing with this stuff.

Same with the -heapsize launch option. To set it, take the amount of RAM you have, and cut it in half. Take that half, and convert it to kilobytes. For example, as I have already said, I have 2 Gb, so I set it to 1048576.

To completely idiot-proof (No offence to anyone) this post, here's Quantum's Little Config's Cache settings (Thanks again, Quantum!). Anyway, here's his cache size settings.

[E-102 Gamma]

[QUOTE=Beetle179;20771113]...How would I go about installing this? <:)[/QUOTE]

What, my config? You go to X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<Steam Username>\team fortress 2\tf\cfg and see if there's an "autoexec" file there. If there isn't, don't panic. Just copy one of the .CFG files there and rename is "autoexec". Open it, and, if there's anything in it, erase everything in it. Add the commands that you want to. Do [I]not[/I] put both the high-FPS and undo-FPS configs in there, and do [I]not[/I] put more than one Cache settings config in there.

If you'd like to execute either the FPS config or the Undo-config on command, don't put them in the autoexec. Instead, make another CFG and name it "highfps" or whatever you want to name it. Then put the FPS settings in it. Now, at the main menu (or in-game if you don't use mat_parallaxmap 1), use "exec highfps" to execute it. If you (also) want the undo-config, make yet another CFG and rename it "undohighfps" or, again, whatever you want to name it.

Do [I]not[/I] put the -heapsize -noforceblahblahblah -noipx -nojoy line in this config. That line goes in your game's launch options. To set TF2's launch options, open Steam and go to My Games. Right click on TF2 and click "Properties...". Hit "Set launch options..." and put it in there. Do [I]not[/I] put any of the configs in this line.

There seems to be a bug with the undo-config at the moment; it breaks ctf_2fort's (and possibly certain other map's) skybox(es). I'm currently trying to find the naughty little command(s) responsible for this.

[I]Still didn't fix my problem.

My specs are:

That should be correct? But still crashing!
It annoys me so much, that I can't use my GPU to the full in TF2.
I can't see why it crashes, perhaps a source engine limit?
Maybe it's not i7 CPU friendly?
I've tried using the -heapsize launch command, and it still goes out on me.

It should just work. But damn, no.

PS: I use the UndoHighFPS config from this thread (The ultra ultra high one)[/I]

[B]NEVERMIND ALL THIS CRAP ABOVE THIS SENTENCE![/B]

I fixed it. I found Quantums 2.7 Little Config, went through that.
Now I've got an ultra high config that works!
