masterconfig

[Frisk]

i have just gotten a new laptop and my account was using masterconfig on my old computer when i installed tf2 i didnt install any master config stuff and i dont know how to fix it and change the graphics to default

[Frisk]

HOW DO I REMOVE IT???

[Frisk]

i cant find any masterconfig file in custom

I wouldn't think that mastercomfig settings are saved to your cloud saves.

Open the console when you first open the game, if mastercomfig has loaded it will tell you.

If it is saved to the cloud, just deselect saving to the cloud, uninstall and then reinstall. Go to the options-video and see if everything is on recommended

Unless you have other things installed, basically all of the .vpk files in the custom folder. The main one having the name of the preset, for exapmple: mastercomfig-medium-high-preset.vpk

mastercomfig, like every other config, changes console variables, which are then saved to your config.cfg file. This file is saved to the Steam cloud if you have it enabled (which it is by default).

The quickest way to reset is to open TF2 properties, disable Steam cloud, and add these to your launch options for one launch before removing them:

-novid -autoconfig -default +host_writeconfig config.cfg full +mat_savechanges +quit

come on, stop misinfoing. It won't be funny anymore in the long run.

You've downloaded the basic settings through your Steam Cloud.

Since steam removes links to mastecomfig repo, find it yourself on github. Go to pull requests and search for "chungus", find closed pull request named "major trolling". Examine its contents and make your own conclusion.
Now find file named "mastercomfig/config/mastercomfig/cfg/comfig/comfig.cfg" and search for all "cat_" strings. While it all looks harmless his intentions are malicious and he silences everyone trying to comment on that matter. It won't stop him in the future from adding bunch of other malicious stuff for purposes beyond our comprehension. Not to mention he can tamper with vpk files to add his own stuff outside github (free software named "xz" was backdoored that way and only recently people found out about it)

Those are all blank alias calls and aliases that are never called. They don't do anything unless you explicitly have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, which you shouldn't. It's as malicious as Microsoft banning players trying to reenact 9/11 in MFSX.

Also .vpk files aren't at all like software files, so I don't know why they brought up the xz example.
