New mastercomfig fig post 64 bit

[leaden shell]

i get lower fps with the newest release of mastercofmig, should i go back to an older version of comfig that gives me higher fps? or does this post 64 bit comfig have like better/more/ other fixes outside of just fps improvements

[sharp shoal]

can you show a comparison in timedemo

and share specs

[leaden shell]

I get 360 average fps with comfig

And 408 with an older version of comfig, probably like a mid 2023 one

I7 12700kf and GTX 3060

thanks, and can you share what preset your use, and your modules.cfg? @leaden shell

[clever glen]

experiencing the same thing too. 64 bit update came out and I was hovering around 200 fps on a busy 32 player server with the old comfig, updated it to a newer one and it's around 120 now

[sharp shoal]

could you share specs, preset, modules.cfg?

RTX 2070 Super / Ryzen 5 5600x / 16GB Memory (8x2)

medium-high preset
shadows=off
water=medium_high
particles=low
post_processing=off
pyrovision=low
texture_filter=aniso16x
characters=medium_high
decals=off
gibs=medium
3dsky=on
fpscap=unlimited
hud_contracts=hide
killstreaks=off
outlines=high
sourcetv=off
bandwidth=6.0Mbps
ragdolls=high

[sharp shoal]

could you try hud_player_model=off

[clever glen]

well it didnt really do much but I saw that there's a newer version of comfig, updated to that one and the fps seems to be back to normal for now(?)

[normal reef]

@clever glen has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[sharp shoal]

which newer version?

[clever glen]

9.10.3

[leaden shell]

i used medium low for both, and i dont think i used modules for both

[sharp shoal]

ah, because 9.10.3 is the only recent release

the release before that was july 10 2023

so if you say you updated to a newer one and then again a newer one, then i guess i misunderstood

[sharp shoal]

okay, interesting

[sharp shoal]

which demo benchmark did you use to measure it?

and are you on linux or windows

[leaden shell]

windows

[sharp shoal]

could you try putting this into console and seeing if it helps:

fast_fogvolume 1

if that doesn't work, also try:

r_fastzreject 0

[leaden shell]

i used this, someone sent this into a thread i opened up like some weeks ago

[sharp shoal]

if that doesn't work, also try:

r_occludeemaxarea 1;r_occluderminarea 1

[leaden shell]

using the old comfig or the newest one?

[sharp shoal]

newest

if you don't mind

of course, you dont have to do all this testing if you dont want to

it'll just help me release a new version which improves performance even more

[leaden shell]

after i put the command in

and test

how do i, i undo it?

[sharp shoal]

no need to undo, but if you want to

fast_fogvolume 0

[leaden shell]

can i ask what those things do

[sharp shoal]

r_fastzreject 1

r_occludeemaxarea 0;r_occluderminarea 0

sure

these commands are mostly related to how Source calculates what's visible on your screen

so it doesn't have to actually calculate stuff that isn't shown

[pale goblet]

*so it doesn't have

to actually calculate

stuff that isn't shown*

- mcoms

[sharp shoal]

i adjusted these values in the latest release to attempt to improve performance, but the older values may be more stable on some systems, so ill lean towards that instead of getting the minor performance increase for some people

[clever glen]

ohhh, I mistook 9.10.2 for a modern release because I saw a notif from this discord about a new comfig and I thought it was that one. I think I downloaded it before the actual new comfig was out lol

[sharp shoal]

ohhh

yeah there were some issues getting it out at first since it'd be so long

lots of stuff was fighting me!
