Default How to:Ultra High TF2 Settings

This is a guide on how to set up "Ultra High" settings in Team Fortress 2.

To do this you should first navigate to...
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[_Your Steam Name_]\team fortress 2\tf\cfg
autoexec.rar
Put this doccument in the cfg folder.

These commands will help increase the detail of the game by using uncompressed textures, making the faces more real, making the face animations better and being able to see models (like the dispenser screen) from further away.

Here are some pictures






These commands will stress your computer more than the "Very High" settings and may cause lower FPS or crashing. If you need to remove these command tweaks you can just delete the "autoexec.cfg" file from your "cfg" folder.
If you can't see the difference look closely at the textures, especially in the Heavies gloves.

You can also increase the graphics of TF2 by enabling Ambient Occlusion in the Nvidia Control Panel.
Here are .gifs of ambient occlusion on/off.

I wasn't sure of what exactly looked different since I don't play TF2 that much (pretty new at it).

Oh yeah the guns and stuff look way better

OK i threw the .cfg file in the cfg folder of TF2 but once in game i typed mat_picmip in console to see if the settings took affect and its set to the default -1 still

NVM all is well
