Default value is 100.Īlternatively, you can also change "view size" 10 by 10, making it smaller with the /sizedown command (enter the command again to make it even smaller), and then expand it again with the /sizeup command. 30 is the lowest value allowed, and 100 is the maximum value allowed. It may also allow your system to gain some more frames-per-second (but also may not!). However, it is possible to draw the 3d world in a smaller "window" this would allow to write part of HUD infos (most notably, health/armor values and chat messages) outside that part of the screen, in front of a plain grey background, if you like it.

Usually, the game world takes all your screen, with the HUD drawn in front of it. This is the minimum cg_viewsize value allowed, 30. Use vid_restart to make the change effective.

if you check them from main menu, before entering a match, previous value stored in your config file may be erroneusly indicated as "default" one.įor some infos about compatibility with some GPUs, you may take a look to the VidCompat page. Warning: you should check default values after starting a match. Writing a variable name without setting its value will return the present value, and often also its "default" value. You can restart video system using \vid_restart command (but many options do not need to do this to have effect). They can affect 3D world rendering or your HUD (head-up-display).Īnd some may be available only via command console. There are many video options you can customize to adapt to your system performances and to your personal flavour.
