Proposal for a comprehensive CS2 Meta Update and engine-level optimizations #2
Description
🌟 Appreciation
I wanted to reach out and thank you for this project. I've been using your config for quite some time now, and I really like how it's structured — it’s definitely my favorite one. Thank you for the effort you put into maintaining it.
🛠 Suggestion
There have been many updates to CS2 recently, and several new console commands (cvars) and settings have been introduced. Currently, some of these new points are missing from the configuration file, and some existing ones need adjustment to match the current game state:
UI Performance: The notorious framerate drops when opening the scoreboard can be fixed by setting fps_max, fps_max_ui, and fps_max_tools to 999.
Network: With fiber internet becoming the standard, the rate command should be set to 1000000 for optimal stability.
UI & Visuals: We should disable r_show_build_info to clear unnecessary clutter. Also, it's worth noting that HUD scaling doesn't effectively go below 0.9 anymore. The current gamma settings also need a rethink, as they can be almost blinding on modern monitors.
Subtick & Prediction: The cl_predict_* settings are currently causing strange bugs, such as "ghosting" where players seem to come back to life for a split second. Subtick-related inconsistencies and jump bugs are still a major issue that require updated logic.
I believe the config deserves a complete overhaul to stay aligned with the current state of the game engine. There are many new settings that would benefit from your unique structured approach.
🙏 Closing
It would be amazing if you could find some time for a full update. Your work is very much appreciated by those of us who use this daily!
