Player2 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi all, noob question time. I wonder if someone can help me with my cfg. I am using a notebook (plugged into TV) to play ET as my PC has died. CPU = intel atom N2600 (1.6Ghz, 1MB L2 cache) memory = 1Gb DDR3 and windows 7. My fps jumps between 5-43 ( using /com_maxfps 43) Can someone give me a cfg for performance please, I know ET will look crappy but that is ok. I have never messed with these things before so will also need help on where to put the cfg and how to exec if you will be so kind. Thanks in advance, Player2 :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Have you tried using /r_primitives 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 No I didnt try anything yet incase i mess it all up , i know there a lot of cvars to change so thought better to ask someone with brain xD I saw this before but im sure theres even more to change. // May increase performance, but has very poor graphic quality.// Cfg based on my graphic cfg.// Designed mostly for NoQuarter.// Cfg created entirely by -=PDP=-Scarhand, do not steal.// Written in notepad with size 14 font, Times New Roman.exec "preset_fast_ui.cfg"// You can use fastest if you want instead of fast.//////////////////////////////////// Rendering //////////////////////////////////// r_colorbits "16"r_compressModels "1"r_detailTextures "0"r_dlightBacks "0"r_drawSun "0"r_dynamiclight "0"r_dynamictextures "0"r_ext_compressed_textures "1"r_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic "0"r_ext_multitexture "1"r_facePlaneCull "1"r_fastsky "1"r_flares "0"r_highQualityVideo "0"r_ignoreFastPath "0"r_inGameVideo "0"r_lodCurveError "1"// Above: Turn this higher up to remove the effects of messed up roads and train tracks.

Barn!e Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Change the OS to XP, windows 7 on that laptop wont leave much headroom for the game at all... Also lower the resolution as anything over 800x600 is going to push that old laptop a bit... Edited March 21, 2016 by Barn!e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Currently using 800x600. May be able to get windows XP on here not sure, ill need to ask a friend. I would like to try to fix this with a cfg first though, thanks for help so far Id be happy even if fps was stable at 43 Edited March 21, 2016 by Player2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 There is no need to change anything in your current config. Those are mostly lowest settings.Add at the end r_primitives "2" vid_restart then ingame exec your config. You can try different values of this cvar 0 - default, 1 or 2. It changes render method so on newer computers 2 has no fps drops and - has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks, i changed some of the cvars ingame that i posted above and it made a small difference, ill try this "primitives" one , where do i add this? in etconfig.cfg? and to execute i would do in console /exec etconfig.cfg ? thanks!

Shana Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 You add this to config you posted at #3 post. You can make new file just for it if you don't know where to put it. For example primitives.cfg and in game you just do /exec primitives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
