Heck I didn't even know about "cl_interp" until late last year and I have been playing since the MvM update with around 2500 hours in the game.

Reee man

my game has had a longer delay between the weapon fire and the damage + hitsound when i used the commands. How do I fix it?

For the network settings, I would reccomend not touching cl_interp and setting cl_interp_ratio to 2, as it overrides cl_interp when its set to something, as well as having the rate set to 100000 (60000 is below the default)

Hirotrum

@Nestor 54 the default interp setting is the equivalent of 100 ms delay, to be able to cover a ludicrous 6 consecutive dropped packets. This was common back when tf2 was first release, but should never happen today.

Most games do not launch with all that decent resolution nor FOV settings. This isn't unique to TF2 and is common across most shooters since modern FPS have been a thing. Not sure why this is seen as a problem.

The fov and viewmodel fov's being so limited doesn't seem like a complaint. Remember that not everyone could run the game maxed out so why would they purposely start you off with low fps and make you think that the game doesn't run good?

I've been playing TF2 since 2012 with 600 hours played and had never heard that the connection speed was adjustable... wonder if that's part of why I've never been able to learn to rocket jump or airblast very well, although that's probably regular lag plus lack of practice.

"I just wish I didn't have to pass a config along to every friend I've invited to play the game", I agree so much with this, I'm always calculating the trade-off whether its a more enjoyable experience for them to sit through me explaining how to add 2 folders to their tf folder, which can take up to 15 minutes depending on the person, or let them jump right in with a worse experience.

the trashmann

@Fofo The HUD is out of date it doesn't scale properly with modern resolutions (1440 and 4K)

Major props for explaining how to fix the defaults without sounding like a condescending prick. Being new to PC gaming can really set you back, especially when a lot of other tutorials or discussion videos like this one talk like you're an idiot if you don't know about POV vs viewmodel POV.

I’ve never played TF2 but I just like listening to people talk about the competitive scene and how deep this rabbit hole goes

I only started playing the game a few weeks ago and seeing that your network settings are fucked as default was absolutely baffling, why are these not the same superior number for everyone especially when they're completely hidden and most players won't likely ever even know to change them
