how do I install very low now? | mastercomfig | Page 1

#

I accidentally uninstalled very low (which is the only way the game runs for me without big frame drops) and I can't install it again, changing setup hook to destitute doesn't do anything, any way I can install very low again??? If someone has the files that'd be great

wraith radish I accidentally uninstalled very low (which is the only way the game runs for me ...

that's strange, setting the preset to destitute should make the preset become very-low

#

could you double-check that you saved the setup_hook.cfg file after you modified it to be destitute?
and just checking, where is setup_hook.cfg located?

#

could you check what the console command preset_level outputs?

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:52 PM

setup hook is in custom

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

robust path could you check what the console command `preset_level` outputs?

how

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

you can enter the command preset_level in console and then it should spew out preset=____ in console

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

yup setup hook is on destitute

#

and in custom

#

still nothing

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

robust path you can enter the command `preset_level` in console and then it should spew out ...

do I do that right now or is there other ways to check before booting up tf2

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:54 PM

#

that would be the best way to check

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:54 PM

#

alright

#

gimme 5 mins

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

wraith radish and in custom

is it in custom/comfig-custom/cfg/app/?

#

or is it just in custom?

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

robust path or is it just in `custom`?

just in custom

#

like

#

tf/custom I believe

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

robust path is it in `custom/comfig-custom/cfg/app/`?

it should follow this directory path

#

as otherwise it's not getting executed

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

I'll check if I even have a comfig-custom folder in custom

#

let me check the preset thing

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:57 PM

#

robust path you can enter the command `preset_level` in console and then it should spew out ...

alright so

#

"preset=custom"

#

and setup hook is on destitute btw

#

do I close tf2 and check now

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:57 PM

#

yeah

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

alright so

#

I'm in team fortress 2/tf/custom

#

I have no comfig-custom folder

#

@robust path

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

was there a comfig-custom folder in the mastercomfig.zip file you downloaded?

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

I don't believe so

#

just a tf folder which I took everything out of and placed in custom

#

yup just a tf folder

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

is there a cfg and custom folder in that tf folder?

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

yes

#

there is

#

In that custom file there's my add-ons and "mastercomfig-base"

#

so rn I'm in team fortress 2/tf/custom/tf/custom

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

so the stuff in the mastercomfig.zip folder outlines where everything should go

#

so like the tf/custom/ stuff should go in custom, rather than dragging the tf folder into custom

#

if there's anything in mastercomfig's cfg folder, that stuff goes into tf/cfg

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

gotcha

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

it still doesn't sound like that there's a comfig-custom folder, but just wanted to clarify that

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

so app and overrides goes in cfg?

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

perhaps you downloaded it before there was a change made for the comfig-custom folder?

#

correct

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

robust path it still doesn't sound like that there's a `comfig-custom` folder, but just want...

nope

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

robust path perhaps you downloaded it before there was a change made for the `comfig-custom`...

I downloaded this when very low popped out of existence

#

like a few days ago I think

#

alright so

#

I'll just delete this config and reinstall it

#

and put everything in the cfg folder in cfg

#

and change setup hook to destitute

#

would that do it

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

you can extract mastercomfig's tf folder into your Team Fortress 2 folder which should put everything in its place rather than dragging everything manually if you want

#

yep should work

#

there was a change that made the app folder reside in tf/custom/comfig-custom/cfg rather than being placed directly into tf/cfg shortly after the new mastercomfig 9.100 update was released, it sounds like you downloaded it before that change was made

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

robust path there was a change that made the `app` folder reside in `tf/custom/comfig-custom...

ah

#

alright

#

okay so

#

I'll delete all of this and reinstall low alright?

#

then I'll put everything in it's place and fix up setup hook

#

is the console command preset_value

#

and if it's working it should say destitute right

#

like

#

"preset=destitute"

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

yeah, if everything's working then it should say preset=destitute after you test with the command preset_level

#

and you can confirm that everything's set to the lowest (if you want, not required) if you put in module_levels and skim through all of the module values

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

robust path and you can confirm that everything's set to the lowest (if you want, not requir...

alright

#

let me do all of this and I'll tell you if it works

#

deleting my config rn brb

#

oh and btw

#

how do I make water see through

#

@robust path

#

do I gotta put water on a high setting

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

you should be able to do that by bumping up the water module higher, yeah

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

fuuuck

#

to what

#

rip I'll have to sacrifice water visibility

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

you could test the different water levels to see which ones has decent see-through ability

#

you can start out with water=low and see how that is

#

(and if you want to test the modules without restarting your game every time, you can just put in water_low or water_medium, changing the = to _ which makes it apply the game commands in-game, and then you can modify the modules.cfg in /tf/cfg/overrides/ to whichever desired water module level you get to)

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

hey should I disable silly gibs

#

what does that do

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

leaving it to automatic should be fine

here are more detailed explanations of each water module level https://docs.comfig.app/latest/customization/modules/#water

i believe hitting the book icon next to the module as you're changing it in the app should send you to the more detailed explanations

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

alright reinstalled

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

I saw

#

alright

#

so everything in cfg

#

In cfg

#

everything in custom in custom

#

anything else?

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

nope

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

alright

#

and setup hook set to destitute

#

oh there it is

#

comfig-custom

#

yeah I downloaded my config before you guys added that

#

what do I do with comfig-custom again?

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

you go into comfig-custom/cfg/app/ and then there's the setup_hook.cfg

#

and then you change preset=low to preset=destitute

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

and comfigcustom should be in custom right

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

yes, alongside the mastercomfig base and addons

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

alongside base and addons

#

alright

#

are you sure comfigcustom should be in custom if inside it is the cfg stuff

#

that should be in cfg

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

anything already in comfig-custom should go there

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

also it's destitute right I'm not writing it wrong

#

alr

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

that's correct

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

so just to clarify comfigcustom goes in custom

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

robust path you can extract mastercomfig's `tf` folder into your `Team Fortress 2` folder wh...

you can also do this, this is the preferred method to install mastercomfig since it's just one step

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

I'm alr halfway through

#

alright

#

setup hook changed to destitute

#

and it's in custom

#

now everything in the cfg file

#

in cfg

#

?

#

do I put overrides in cfg or the cfg file in cfg

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

overrides in tf/cfg

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

like do I put the entire cfg folder or take overrides out of it and put it in cfg

#

alright

#

I already have a modules.cfg?

#

do I replace

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

yeah you'd replace

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

alright

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

that's from your older mastercomfig install

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

anything else

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

should be good

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

alright

sacred acornBOT Oct 10, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

@wraith radish has leveled up! (2 ➜ 3)

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

shit

#

hey in the TF2 properties is -noipx a thing

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

-noipx doesn't exist

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

I wasn't looking and I deleted a few keys while trying to type -console in the launch options

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

robust path `-noipx` doesn't exist

alright

#

look at my launch options btw

#

-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -console

#

anything I should add?

#

dxlevel 81 too but I took it off because it causes performance issues to leave it written there I think

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

you can remove -precachefontchars since it's no longer needed

#

looks good

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

gotcha

#

what's the command to check the preset again

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

preset_level

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

alright

#

fingers crossed

#

YEAHHHHHHHH

#

IT SAYS DESTITUTE

#

so if I join a game I'll have no viewmodel and everything right

#

lemme check

kind vortexBOT Oct 10, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

*so if I join a

game I'll have no viewmodel and

everything right*

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:27 PM

#

well

#

It does look like very low

#

but for some reason I'm still having frame drops in some community maps

#

nvm I think it's just wonderland being shit

#

I'm on ugc and it works fine

#

dude THANK YOU so much

#

god bless

#

hm

#

maybe it's assets still loading

#

do you have any tips for more performance boosts

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:28 PM

#

https://docs.comfig.app/latest/os/windows/

#

also, if you want you could copy setup_hook.cfg and paste it in overrides just so that if you ever reinstall mastercomfig and it overrides comfig-custom you won't have to change it to destitute again

#

overrides exists to make sure any of your actual custom configs won't get overriden by mastercomfig (except for modules.cfg which gets updated whenever you change it in the web app)

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

alright

#

hey how do I enable teammate panels again

#

@robust path

robust path Oct 10, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

should be this https://docs.comfig.app/latest/customization/modules/#panels

wraith radish Oct 10, 2025, 1:47 PM

#

Idk why casual works flawlessly and jailbreak servers aswell except every other community server

#

all give me frame drops

#

why's that
