In-game Options

[Marokaz]

Hi


I want to know what commands I've to change or add in my cfg in order to have all the in-game advanced options to low or none.

Can anyone help me with that?


best regards

Why?
Just set the advanced Graphicoptions ingame, klick on "OK" followed by another "OK" or "APPLY" and they are saved, unless You made one of the following stupid mistakes:

#1.
You have set Your config.cfg to "read only" <- Stupid!

#2.
You have the mat_dxlevel command in one of your configs. <- Stupid!

#3.
You have set -dxlevel as Startoption. <- Stupid!

Anyway here You go:

gosh you're so pleasant.... lol but thanks for answer.

Of course, I tried to change it in-game but when I restart the game they changed.

1- No
2- No
3- No


But I'm going to change the commands to see and then I give news.


cheers

Maybe they are overwritten by another config.

Normally You don't have to write the Ingame Settings into a Config, but many people do this for different reasons (not many of them make sense).

Search for these commands in Your configs (except the config.cfg), delete them and then set it once and for all by using the ingame Options.

Glad to see this, because many people tend to do stupid things when it comes to Config changes and similar stuff.

So far so good.

Now I want to ask another thing.

my dxlevel is set to 90 but I want to change it to 81. Since you already told me that I should't put mat_dxlevel on my cfg neither put -dxlevel on startoption, what's your advise?

[KiloSwiss]

You can use -dxlevel but then You have to start the game, close it and then delete the entry from Your startoptions.
That means You shouldn't permanently have -dxlevel in Your startoptions, just start the game once with it.

But the easyer way is to set it directly trough the Registry, when out of the Game.
Use these reg Files: CSSource_DXLevel.zip
They are simple and easy to use.
