// Unexplained crashes? Try changing mat_queue_mode to `-1'.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Comanglia' stability config inspired by chris, designed to get you a large performance boost
// v1.1 | 18 December 2015 |
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Launch options:
// You should remove -dxlevel xx from the launch options for superior stability with
// ALT+Tabbing
//
// Fullscreen: -dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -novid
// Windowed: -dxlevel 81 -sw -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -noborder -novid
// -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd // All of these are outdated and don't matter anymore
//
// DX Levels
// -dxlevel 80, -dxlevel 81, -dxlevel 90, -dxlevel 91, -dxlevel 95, -dxlevel 98
// if you can use -dxlevel 81 USE IT your fps will be significantly more stable, some Nvidia users may experience a weird strobing effect (some series of outdated nvidia drivers remove this affect)
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// FPS cap
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than
// that, it doesn't do a lot. A moderate, consistent framerate is much more
// desirable than a variable but sometimes high framerate. A common
// misconception is that if any more frames are generated than your monitor can
// display, they are useless. This is wrong -- frames are used for much more
// than mere display, and affect the way the game feels well past your
// refresh rate.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cl_showfps 0 // Turning this FPS meter on actually decreases fps by about 3%-4%
fps_max 0 // fps caps on PCs that consistently meet that cap causes horrible input lag when attempting to turn/aim
//fps_max 132 // I'm leaving this in here though because some PCs (usually laptops) tend to overheat and have microstutters without frame caps.

mat_queue_mode -1 // mat_queue mode is another frequently asked about cvar, it

// Here are the possible values:
// -2 legacy default
// -1 default
// 0 synchronous single thread
// 1 queued single thread
// 2 queued multithreaded
//
// If you have problems with the value `2', try setting it to
// `-1'.
//
// As an aside, there are quite a few bugs in the demo system
// that occur when mat_queue_mode is set to a value that is
// not `-1'. If you intend to do work with the demo system,
// maybe you should change this.
//
//After immense testing I've found that default works perfectly
//fine with setting your Thread usage. It automatically set me
//to 2 every time. I'd say it's safer and likely less buggy to
//leave this at -1 than it is at 2.
