Configuration turn to default whenever changing server

[FCC]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to recieve some orientation about an issue with my configuration. 

At the moment i use a personalized configuration (containing graphic and connection variations) located in my ET main folder in order to reduce game's lagging. 

The problem shows when i rejoin a server or visit another one. Everytime my graphic configuration sets back to default, so i have to restart the game and join a server if i want to maintain my configuration. 

 

I would appreciate some help with this,

 

Thanks guys.

HI FCC,

Did you have this problem before or it started with a new configuration? 

Can you post your cfg so we can give it a look and see if there is something wrong in it.

 

thx

You don't have to restart ET and rejoin the server. You can /exec your config in the console. Simply open the console and type /exec [nameofcfg].cfg and you should be good to go. 

 

When you are on the server and have your preferred settings enabled. Just type in the console /writeconfig FCCconfig. Then all you have to do is type /exec FCCconfig in the console to get your settings back if at any time it goes back to default or it changes after joining another server.

 

Remember to /vid_restart and /snd_restart after /execing your config for some of the settings to take effect.

You can put your config in ETMAIN folder, so whenever ET reloads it defaults to the preferred cng from ETMAIN. Else ET loads default settings from ETMAIN...

Thanks for your help guys! Really i appreciate it.

 

One further question, which is the exact command to apply graphic (textures) changes without restarting? Console says that restart is needed to apply changes (r_detailtextures).

/vid_restart , I would presume...
