Piggy`s UPDATED Competetive Deadlock Config

// ===============================
// Piggy's Competitive Deadlock Config
// Complete settings for max FPS and visibility
// ===============================

READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:
Removed a bunch of pointless things in the launch options.
You dont need -threads unless you want to specify, source 2 already fixes this for you

-recommended -threads 8 for 8C/16T CPUs (use physical cores only)
-threads 16 can hurt 1% lows due to hyperthread contention
-threads 8 = best for stability and frametimes
-threads only needed if you want to override automatic assignment

// ===============================
// GUIDE: What to change
// ===============================

// <YOUR GPU VendorID> and <YOUR GPU DeviceID>:
// Find your GPU IDs in your system info or video.txt and replace here for correct hardware optimization.

// <WIDTH> and <HEIGHT>:
// Set to your native screen resolution. Examples: 2560 and 1440 for 1440p, or 1920 and 1080 for 1080p.

// <CORES+1>:
// Set threads in launch options to your CPU logical cores plus 1.
// Example: 16 cores = 17 threads.

// fps_max:
// Caps your maximum FPS to avoid instability. Adjust as needed (default 400 here).

// mat_viewportscale:
// Set to 1 for native resolution rendering (best clarity). Lower values can boost FPS but blur the image.

// r_texture_stream_mip_bias:
// Controls texture quality and performance trade-off.
// 0 = highest quality, 3 = competitive balance, 4 = max performance but lower texture quality.

// Launch options explained:
// -novid = skip intro video
// -threads = CPU threads to use (cores + 1)
// +cl_forcepreload = preload assets to reduce stutters
// +mat_queue_mode 2 = enable multi-threaded rendering
// -noassert = disable error popups
