Title: Binds and other things to improve fps and pps
Post by: Reaver on August 30, 2007, 05:20:55 PM

What binds are there to improve my fps and pps and just the overall gameplay. Also is their any that make the game run smoother on my computer because i lag out alot and my computer freezes while playing sometimes.

all of these should improve your framerate:
seta gl_finish "0"
seta gl_anisotropy "1"
seta r_caustics "0"
seta r_reflectivewater "0"
seta gl_dynamic "0"
seta gl_stainmaps "0"
seta s_mixahead "0.2"
seta gl_highres_textures "0"
seta gl_picmip "1" (0 is regular quality, 2 is most degraded quality)
seta gl_skymip "1" (0 is regular quality, 3 is most degraded quality)
seta gender "spacepirate"
you should also go into your video card setup and disable "Vertical Sync" in your GL Options
playing in a lower resolution will also greatly increase your framerate.

these should help your network connection (a lot of them are defaults)
seta cl_minfps "0"
seta cl_maxfps "0"
seta cl_locknetfps "0"
seta cl_cmdrate "60"
seta rate "10000"

and these might make the game *seem* to run a little faster
seta m_filter "0" // if it's set to "1", it takes the average of every 2 updates that your mouse makes -- useful for making your mouse/aiming seem more smooth, but you might notice a delay in your mouse movements

seta scr_conspeed "99999" // makes the console come up and go away quicker

Laughed at that.

But yeah, I had the same problem reaver, like 2 years ago until i did the stainmaps  and it helped out a lot.

Also if you are using Ventrilo or Teamspeak when playing this could cause you to lag sometimes and freeze up.  Yeah voice recon is really nice for matching but try not using it during a match and see what it does for you, may help and it may not, never know. :)

Interesting when I do cl_maxfps 0 on the DP Pickup Game Server you would think that I turned on a lag hack or something.

Eh, it should just disable framerate limiting.  In fact, I think that's the default setting.

lol, I missed the spacepirate setting until Bling pointed it out.

these video commands do not offer anything that the setup menu does not already offer.
-all of these values can be changed via the MENU (video settings) in dp.

though these ones listed by Herron, some people dont know about, and I also recommend changing to these values if not already selected by default.

and I also use m_filter 1 or 2 because it feels smoother

Umm, this thread was from more than a year and a half ago.

So what?  Was it really necessary for you to point that out?  This thread is pretty beneficial, and he was just adding his input.  Plus, there are always newer players who don't know about this information anyways.

Yeah, and if he had made a new new thread you would have posted:

i count 4 out of 17 that can be manipulated within the standard menu. total nonsense comment. these are useful commands that many would not know about unless told directly, like through a forum post.

These commands definitely reduce lag, I've used them on my crappy computer and it's made the lag go away, although I still need to buy a graphics card for it, whenever I get around to doing it lol
