An autoexec.cfg, autoexec, "config", etc. is nothing more than a configuration file that launches automatically when the game starts. In the context of TF2, these configuration files automatically enable Source console commands contained within the .cfg file. The console commands can be conceptualized as "hidden" or "behind the scenes" settings that are (usually) not available to change within the default in-game settings menus. Valve has provided the autoexec feature for developer purposes, and for end users to fine-tune their experience with the game.

While an autoexec can be used for many different things, the two most common use cases for an autoexec.cfg in TF2 are to reduce graphical fidelity while increasing FPS, and to optimize the source engine network traffic.

No it can't. Autoexecs use source engine commands that are provided by Valve for people to use. Even though there are commands that can be used for cheating, official valve servers (and most community servers) have sv_pure 1 enabled, which makes sure that only whitelisted commands will be parsed/enabled by the server.

All commands in my autoexec are sv_pure 1 (vanilla) compliant and there is 0 chance of getting banned. To clarify, even if I made an autoexec that was nothing but sv_pure 0 (cheats) commands, the servers would simply not allow these options to be enabled, and nothing would happen.

As mentioned earlier, I have been working on this for quite some time and I'd like to help players in the community who have lower end hardware. If it weren't for Chris' config I wouldn't have been able to run the game back in the day on my 2011 HP Pavillion. I have helped quite a few of my friends on Steam with this config and I hope it can help even more people.

I am also a huge advocate for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Uploading this guide for everyone to freely use, modify, and distribute contributes toward this philosophy.

My autoexec takes a different approach than most others I have seen. Instead of all of the commands being stacked into a single monolithic file named "autoexec.cfg", I have taken a more modular approach. My autoexec.cfg contains basic QoL commands, executes the other cfg files (referred to as modules), and contains recommended launch options. The launch options are located at the top of the autoexec.cfg file.

I decided to take this approach to creating an autoexec.cfg because I think it would be easier for users to simply delete the corresponding module instead of digging through hundreds (if not thousands) of lines of console commands to delete potentially unwanted segments.

For example, if you do not with to use my network config, you can just delete the network.cfg file and/or the 'exec network' line in autoexec.cfg instead of endlessly sifting through commands.

//=================LaunchOptions=====================

//This is the main "backbone" file that all other modules are loaded from.
//Follow the directions very closely.

//Put these in your launch options
//-vulkan -high -skip -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -softparticlesdefaultoff -particles 512 -reuse -console -nohltv -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -noshaderapi -nominidumps -dev
//The vulkan option will only work on systems with proper drivers and hardware that supports vulakn 1.3
//If crashing is experienced then remove -vulkan
//-freq is unnecessary since fps_max is defined in the graphics config.

//dxlvl settings are depreciated as valve ended support for forcing most direct X levels since the jungle inferno update.
//continuing to force dxlvl's will cause a slew of issues and command conflictions.

//If for whatever reason things fail, remove all launch options and add -autoconfig as the only option.

// This has been optimized for fast connections with low ping.
//If you often have high ping, lag spikes, or a slow connection, then delete this module.



cl_interp .014000
//This is an interesting command. It's set below what official servers allow for overhead.
//I'm entirely aware the server controls the value, and most servers will default cl_interp to .0152X.
//Value typically ranges from .0152 to .0333, and up to .0666 for horrible connections.
//Setting this any higher really doesn't make sense.
//I don't find it beneficial to generate artificial latency in any context.
//It ultimately comes down to preference.

cl_interp_ratio 1
//cl_interp_ratio 1 if you have little to no packet loss.
//cl_interp_ratio 2 for connections with light packet loss.
//cl_interp_ratio 3 (or even 4) for heavy packet loss.

cl_lagcompensation 1
//Never change this. Having a value of 0 will break hitreg unless you are playing on LAN.
cl_pred_optimize 2
//Never change this.
cl_smooth 0
//"Smooths" the movement and projectiles of the game. Disable this for better positional accuracy.
cl_smoothtime 0.01
//Redundant, but useful in case a server disables cl_smooth 0 for whatever reason.
cl_updaterate 128
//How often the client requests info to the server. Locked at 66 for official valve servers.
cl_cmdrate 128
//How often the client sends info to the server. Locked to 66 for official valve servers.
net_queued_packet_thread 1
// Enable to use a high priority thread to send queued packets out instead of sending them each frame.
rate 128000
// Change this value relative to your download speeds, measured in kbps. Current value is stable for a connection of
net_maxcleartime 0
//"0" Disables the limit of time spent waiting on sending packets.
net_compresspackets 1
//Compression = packets move faster :O !
net_compresspackets_minsize 512
//Minimum compressed packet size in kb. Keep default. This can get really technical and in the weeds.
net_splitpacket_maxrate 500000
// Always max this out to some insane number to eliminate bottlenecks and overhead.
net_splitrate 2
//Experimental value. Potentially placebo because valve has yet to provide proper documentation.

Here are what each of the modules do:

autoexec.cfg - The main 'spine' of my autoexec. This contains launch options, QoL features, and is what executes all of the below listed .cfg files. If any of the below listed modules are unwanted, simply delete the corresponding .cfg file.


adblocker.cfg - It blocks ads in community servers. In Ye Olden days of TF2, most good community servers were plagued with annoying and invasive ads, mostly from pinion.


gaben.cfg - Totally optional, but funny. This prints an ASCII art picture of GabeN in the console on launch.


graphics.cfg - The star of the show. This reduces graphical fidelity and greatly improves FPS. I have tested this config to work across a large variety of hardware. It remains stable on either Intel or AMD cpus, and on ATI/Radeon or nVIDIA GPUs. If you have ANY crashing or strange issues whatsoever, please reach out to me and I'll try to patch the config.


mapvotefix.cfg - Fixes the strange end of round bug where players cannot vote for maps.


medic-radar.cfg - Makes players of your team call out for medic. While playing medic, this shows the general location of your teammates.


multithread.cfg - Intended to enhance the performance of users running CPUs with more than 2 cores.


network.cfg - Optimizes network traffic. I have fine tuned this for my own personal network. It runs fine for players who have a decent upload/download link and generally low ping. If you encounter any rubber banding, lag, packet drops, extended loading times, or are unable to find matches, please delete this .cfg file.


scoreboard-netgraph.cfg - Shows net_graph 4 in the bottom left corner of the screen while checking the scoreboard. This is very useful for inspecting network hiccups on the fly.


sound.cfg - Increases directional awareness of audio in the game and offshores audio rendering to the GPU.

The most current version of my config can always be found here:
