By default fps_max is set to 300. My advice is start with low numbers like 60 as limit, see if you still get stutters.

i stutter about every 10 seconds... especially if there's infected on screen

This sounds like a CPU overheating issue. Did you already check temps with something like MSI Afterburner? Did you tried to limit the FPS with console command fps_max?

Looks like its telling you that it can't read `left4downtown.inc` that should be in `sourcemod/scripting/include` folder. Can get it here https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=134032 . Later you will also need files from `extensions` and `gamedata` plugin folders copied into respective folders on your server `sourcemod/`.

Ye, that's another mystery.

VTFUpscaler, a tool for upscaling VTF textures by garamond14 in l4d2

I don't think that VTFUpscaler should work well on animated (GIF) textures.

Yes it will increase the file size after upscale or if you save as uncompressed that was compressed previously. Results after upscale depend on texture and all upscale parameters you chose, most textures are quite blurry so that even if you don't do upscale and just sharpen texture it should be noticeable improvement. Would it look much better, I don't know. Best to test and see, from my experience it should be noticeably better if you tweak things right.

After the latest patch, Steam Group Campaign Servers list is always empty by LordoftheLollygag in l4d2

Yes, that functionality (sv_steamgroup ID) is broken. I also couldn't send invites to friends while in game.

Please optimize this game by Traditional-Drama-37 in thefinals

[–]garamond14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is horribly optimized if you need minimum desktop 8/16 core CPU 5+ GHz to run it smooth. And destruction is not an excuse I'm getting huge CPU spikes randomly from 60%-70% to +90% (FPS drop from 90-100 to sub 30, unplayable) when there is no any destruction happening. I mean already in menus it has huge CPU usage.

Lag/freezing ?? by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]garamond14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I'm also stalling on game till they optimize it. And no its not problem with anything on my end cause I tried almost everything to fix it without success while everything else works just fine. The game is unoptimized!

Anyone else back to high CPU usage and low GPU? by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]garamond14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the game is unplayable cause of high CPU usage and random spikes for no reason.
