Overview
This guide will show you ways to increase frames in half life a very ez game to run but if you are on a toaster powered by potatoes or you want more frames for like the various things that are controlled by frames like how much speed you gain from bhopping then this is the guide for you
tips & tricks
1.
disable vsync
fps_override 1
fps_max 9999
This isn’t anything new but i cannot stress this enough disable vsync it caps your fps to 60 and causes mouse latency. fps_override and fps_max are there because even if you turn off vsync theres a cap of 72 and 100 (100 if you 1st time fps_max # > 100)
default_fov # -the lower the number the more frames but the higher the number the more you can see
hud_draw 0 -removes hud features only use this if you want to squeeze all the frame juice out of it or it you just want realism or a
challenge
lower your resolution -by doing this theres less the game has to show of the game
disable hd models as they have higher poly counts and +because they suck.
violence_ablood 0
violence_agibs 0
violence_hblood 0
violence_hgibs 0 -you’ll know what these do wants you use them
r_norefresh 1 – only use this if its a section that you dont need to do anything or for something like the health glitch or a blind challenge
2.
type in launch options
-nomsaa -nofbo -gl_aniso 0 -noipx -nopix -nojoy -gl/-software (depends on which is compatible with your system) into your launch options
this will boost your frames by alot so do use it
and thats it! thats all I found! im sure theres alot more commands hidden deep within the game that i had forgotten or don’t know of
i will update the guide if i do remember them or find them.
Bye!
