Config tweaking (Increase FPS)

[El]

I've been tweaking a bit on my config and this config gets me 30 till 50 percent more FPS.
You can adjust it even further for your own connection/hardware.

A complete guide to config tweaking and adjustments to increase ur FPS: forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=470069949db27c5c2ba6fc363a38e185&threadid=471100&highlight=config+tweak

Your config file is located here:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\(yoursteamaccountname)\day of defeat source\dod\cfg

Open the config file with Notepad and just copy/paste the following bit into you config file and save it.

Dont worry about lost data cause everytime u start up DOD:S the old config file will return in this folder. So everytime you start up DOD:S you have to replace the old config file with the new one.

It's best to keep the new version of your config in a seperate folder under the cfg folder so you can easily copy/paste the new config everytime you need it.

Nice, I might do that. Just to be sure though, you put all that into a new notepad and save it as config.cfg, and that's your new config (once you put it in the directory shown). Then when you start DoDS, the old config is remade, but this new one runs for that DoDS session?

Once you close DoDS you have to go put the new config back into the directory (over the old one again).

Correct?

[rackerz]

Probably not. If you don't want DoDs to overwrite your config.cfg make it readonly.

[El]

Thats how I do it anyway, crazy.

I ll try that read only suggestion tho.

[crazy]

Good idea Rackerz! I'll give it a shot later too.

[Synegy]

That is one heck of long list. I would just die reading it lol
