Why would you use max_fps 60? For me that was always the BIGGEST issue with Warcraft III, and subsequently DotA 1, you could not increase the max fps 60, so the game was always slightly choppy.

Edit: Also, generally it's not a good idea to enable v_sync. It can cause input delay.

I love valve, coming from competetive cs player all you wanted to know was available in cfg files. cfgs were a godsend on lans.

Net_graph, cl_showfps and whole bind "x" "xxxxx" bring back memories

and its interesting to see dota2 have identical client net code (rate cl_updaterate, cl_cmdrate cl_rate) commands like it was on H-L engine.

It may be a leftover from the bad old DOS days, but I always get twitchy when game developers start naming files after system influencing files. If you wonder why this is a bad thing, google "Eve Online + boot.ini". One bad patch and you get a brick.

That said, interesting that within the first few lines I knew not only what kind of file it was but what game it applied to - and changes don't require some kind of registry hack. #Urdoinitrite
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?
