CVAR autoexec - What am I doing wrong?

Here's what I have in my autoexec:

seta com_unlockFPS "1"
seta com_unlock_timingmethod "0"
seta com_unlock_maxFPS
seta r_useThreadedRenderer "2"
seta image_useCompression "0"
seta r_visDistMult "1.2"
seta image_lodbias "-1"
seta r_md5LodBias "-1"
seta image_lodDistance "10000"
seta r_md5LodScale "10000"
seta r_renderProgramLodDistance "10000"
seta net_clientMaxRate "24000"
seta net_clientLagOMeter "1"
seta net_clientPrediction "23"

I still can't get above 30 fps, though...? Also, does anyone have a copy of the default etqwconfigs file? Thanks!

Scooter, I think if you rename or move your etqwconfigs file and start the game, a new one is automatically generated. Obviously you'd want to rename your autoexec to keep your etqwconfigs file vanilla.

Yea, that did it for the config file. Now what else do I need to add to my autoexec to fully unlock fps? Anything else I should add? I also added another zero to the draw distance settings, lol. Still working fine. Trying to figure out what that actually caps out at.

seta com_unlock_maxFPS

I have a value of "120". You don't have anything, that might be the hitch.

ah! ok. That's probably it.

Edit: Didn't work

hrrmm

Your other settings in your autoexec are confirmed to be working, right?

where is your 'autoexec' file located?

here are my settings: solid 120 at all times..

//FPS
seta com_unlockfps "1"
seta com_showFPS "1"
seta com_unlock_timingmethod "2"
seta r_usethreadedrenderer "0"
seta com_unlock_maxFPS "120"
seta r_displayRefresh "60"
seta com_videoRam "2500"
seta net_clientLagOMeter "1"
seta com_allowconsole "1"
seta com_useFastVidRestart "1"

this is my autoexec and I get 200-250 fps
I just added in enough to get the job done.
I screwed up my config once also so I am sticking with what I know works

set com_unlockFPS "1"
set com_unlock_timingMethod "0"
set com_unlock_maxFPS "250"
set r_useThreadedRenderer "0"
set net_clientprediction "40"
bind end "toggle net_clientprediction 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 40"
set net_clientlagometer "1"

If you use "seta" it writes your cvar values to your etqw config file.
If you use "set" the cvars are not.

If you remove any of the cvars from your auto exec make sure you reset them to there default value, because the "seta" makes them permenant, while "set" doesn't

Using a autoexec file it executes the cvar changes everytime you start the game so you should use "set" not "seta"

I've got them located in the same folders as the etqwconfig files. Pretty sure they're in the right place. I can tell the draw distances are better and it shows my fps and lagometer. Just keep getting capped on the fps. Someone mentioned the other day that there are 4 different settings you need to have in place for it to work.....I'll check my file against ya'lls and try again. Thanks for the help.

Ew...what's the videoRam command do? How high can I set that? I have a gig on my graphics card.
