So i will post a few of those that i have been using. There is nothing wrong with what i'm posting and the older players should already have them so why not give to the newest also?
Higher FPS:
Type "pb_sleep 500" into the console without the " " for a slight fps boost.
It makes pb only work every 500 miliseconds instead of pb default of every 20 miliseconds.
Most users see 5-15fps boost from using command on most maps. When you type pb_sleep 500, type p_writecfg so you don't have to type pb_sleep 500 everytime you join a server.

pb_sleep command is not working online since latest update

Nice sharing Sergio, it makes the game more fair for beginners. I don't really understand the last one though for medic and fragout, what's the 99, and u have to choose between commoshoot or commosendmessage or u have to put em all?

you dont need to bind it, you just need to write it once, after write pb_writecfg and it should be saved
-
Ive read some stuff, and this is definitly the best way:
System Driver:uncheck this should be uncheck, or you will just use sound game, not your soundcard sound.
Dynamic Netspeed:unchecked
Mouse Smoothing:unchecked
UseDefaultDriver=False
UseTrilinear=False
UseVSync=False
Channels=128 (only for xfi users and some asus soundcard that supports it. onboard cardshould use 64

Isn't this a violation, over 10000 on the netspeed? Won't you get kicked?
Is that "DUMPCACHE | FLUSH | PB_SLEEP 500 | NETSPEED 15000" all in a bind on ur "K" key?
And if it is what is the exact command to bind it plz would be nice just to put it all on 1 key and go. I've heard that "obj garbage" is another thing like dumpcache and flush too but never really seen any difference in game play.
Thx for sharing, to all.

1st calls medic without needing it.
2nd says fragout without trowing anything.

Actually this was taken out from Sly's kick history :D

So does it work, and if it does how to:?
-
Audio Mode: H/W + 3D.
only if you have a dedicated sound card, otherwise keep at 3d audio only.
-
System Driver: Checked
this is fail, never check system driver while u have good soundcard.
-
got mine , gettn 130 fps
DesiredRefreshRate=900
MinDesiredFrameRate=900.000000
MaxClientFrameRate=900.000000

Those pretty much call the medic or shout frag out and then returns to the regular radio and says nothing (the 99) . This way you end up with the radio not with the shouting when you try to communicate with your team later.
-
Yup but didn't realize it was or commoradio or commoshout :)
Got it now.
Btw, I am playing on laptop, system driver checked or not?
-
depends if you're having a soundcard on your laptop
-
thx!
-
system driver should never be checked

So i will post a few of those that i have been using. There is nothing wrong with what i'm posting and the older players should already have them so why not give to the newest also?

Should one still follow these guidelines, even with current version of Assist?
Could anyone also advise me on Sound Settings. I currently have it set to H/W 3D + EAX on a Macbook running in Mac OS. It seams to work fine, so should I change it or not, to another option?
-
I run OSX on H/W 3D + EAX just fine.

Eax is not good in this version and instead i would use only H/W + 3D (5.1 or 7.1 sound cards)

haven't read every comment but isn't there a command so you can extend you chat box?

If I recall, that came in later versions. At least that's my vague memory.
You can try and refer to our wiki if you like:

thanks ill check through that one more time

Yeah, me too was wondering if there are ways to avoid lag or other things. I noticed even alone testing in these first minutes I came back that there is some lag.
Anyway this can be contextual to the non activity of server. Or maybe some settings I changed?
My pc is capable to handle high settings and actually good pc do not work well with low settings.
I believe it's not a matter of high graphics here, right?
The internet is what it is around 15Mbps and 1 in upload.

I upgraded to a Win11 PC back in February (was still using Win7 until then!) and I had a little bit of lag when I first set up the game. Every server was the same, even the EU ones. I went through the settings in my PC and turned off every App that was running in the background, set as many apps as I could from ‘run on startup’ to ‘never’. I even cleared all the trash it had going via the Task Manager, and that fixed my lag. I guess less is more with this game.
.....I believe it's not a matter of high graphics here, right?

That’s about exactly the same Internet speed as mine. Even on a US server, I get around 20-22 ping and 120-150fps (depending on map), and I have all the in-game graphics settings set to the highest level (join a server, press ESC and go to settings in the bottom left corner).

It's important to distinguish between lag/latency and performance issues.
It's a lag/latency issue if your inputs take a while to reach the server. Usually this will mean that everything looks smooth on the screen, but you're unable to make jumps or hit targets because your packets arrive too late.
If it's a performance issue, you may see stuttering (i.e stuck on the same frame for too long) or something like that. It's nothing to do with the latency to the server, but rather the performance of the local machine.
With that said, your situation sounds like the latter. I'm sure you have a powerful machine. And in fact, for years now, PCs that are too powerful have been the issue. I don't know the exact details as to why. But they end up trying to push out more and more frames, and then at some point something breaks. And as a result you have a worse experience than you would on a lower specced PC.
My understanding is that (if this is the issue) you normally want to cap the max FPS to something reasonable. Maybe this will be of help:
https://aao25.com/forum/support/fps-locked-at-85fps/
I think I've also read / heard of people setting their max FPS through the graphics drivers. Perhaps that was in the discord since I wasn't able to find it here. I don't know for sure since I don't have that issue - I run on a 7 year old laptop (whenever I do play).
