like mat_picmip

the reason im asking is that i want to try and avoid mastercomfig of running these commands because they're janky on my pc, when stuff reloads it degrades performance by a lot, its not specific to the value of what the command sets but just the "refreshing" it does
not only affect performance but it also make starting up tf2 take minutes, and its insufferable trying fonts in huds
a lot of these commands also stays on after being set so theres no need in my view running again

#

and yeah, my pc is trash and i also think it may be linux related but i can't do anything about it

#

i imagine all must be mat_ but i think im going to use the custom preset and try each module and report here

I don't think there's really a one size fits all answer

#

different cvars can cause different sorts of 'reloads' when changed

#

plus it might be different setting it during startup vs changing while on main menu vs changing while loaded in a map

#

i thought there would be a lot more modules that require refreshing but i test almost all of them and its just Texture Quality and Anti Aliasing

rancid mirage
#

setting them as custom is not enough, theres something else comfig runs that refreshes

rancid mirage
#

actually

#

now its fine

#

i think it may have something that only runs once?

#

or something

#

it opens so quick now 😭
