#Game's even worse with masterconfig???

does it go back to normal after a clean up?

!cleanup

So, putting in mastercomfig makes it worse. And then removing it afterwards fixes it?

Can you screenshot your cfg folder?
Just the folders

#

Why not run the shounic benchmark with and without mastercomfig to provide at least some quantification

#

even if it doesn't reflect the supposed freezing or whatever

coral roost
#

The old demo used to be called benchmark_test

#

now it's sbmrk24

#

so timedemo sbmrk24

#

Usually it's good to run it twice or more, the first run after opening the game is often inconsistent

#

best to disable net graph, but it won't matter much

#

just run the timedemo both with mastercomfig and without it, and keep things as consistent as possible

fair cedar
#

It's a demo. No networking involved*

#

That's weird

coral roost
#

Well post the output

#

It prints the summary in console

#

your net graph showing 66 means nothing

#

it always shows that for timedemo

fair cedar
#

Assuming you had to reopen tf2, yes

#

Was that the first or second run after starting TF2?

#

Ignore the first run, this is the one you use.

#

Again, 2 runs. Ignore the first.

#

Interesting

#

It's pretty unheard of for mastercomfig low to perform worse than stock tf2

fair cedar
#

Was it only the mastercomfig low .vpk that you installed? Or were there other files?

coral roost
#

but I guess it's within the same ballpark

#

And on top of this you have freezing that's only present with mastercomfig?

#

Could you share some of the details of your computer?

subtle night
#

i know there was a possible performance regression in the current release, try the release before that

#

also thank you for your diligence, patience and help with this

#

at the top you can choose

#

choose 9.10.2

#

now you can download at the bottom after selecting it

#

if you refresh the page it will reset to the latest version

coral roost
#

It's maybe worth freeing up some space on your ssd, they can get slow with little free space as the controller has less room to work with

#

though I sort of doubt that's the problem

#

You can also just check it with crystal disk mark to make sure it's performing okay

#

60 fps on the benchmark on low settings seems quite low for that hardware, I would expect almost double

#

at least at 1080p

#

Yeah, there are alternatives too

#

and yeah a new ssd is not likely to have slowed down yet

subtle night
#

interesting, ill be releasing a new version soon and we can see if the performance issues will be fixed

coral roost
#

It still seems strange that mastercomfig low could perform worse than default tf2

#

@quiet lynx do you still have the freezing issue on 9.10.2?

#

Well I guess that narrows that down quite a bit

#

Up to you

#

It might be helpful to mastercomfig if you could find the exact setting that causes the freezing, but maybe it's already known

#

It looks like the main differences between 9.10.2 and 9.10.3 are r_lightcache_zbuffercache, r_occludeemaxarea, r_occluderminarea, fast_fogvolume, and mat_bufferprimitives

#

I can't really think of why any of them would cause freezing, but idk

subtle night
#

mat_bufferprimitives has no difference on Windows btw, so it didn't change

#

r_lightcache_zbuffercache didn't change for low preset

#

so it can only be fast_fogvolume or the occluder stuff

#

the occluder stuff was made to be the vanilla settings in 9.10.3

#

same with fast_fogvolume

#

so i have no idea

#

but, i do have some ideas on how to fix performance for the next version

#

within a week if things go right

subtle night
#

Also could you try to test packet_rate=congestion in modules

subtle night
#

@quiet lynx You can try the latest dev build alpha on the app!

subtle night
#

Yeah i saw that initial load stutter too, tracking it down
