Loving the new Steam release so far but had a question or two. I usually use Steam library to add launch options like +mat_dxlevel 98 but when I use it on BMS it never shows up in the advanced video options. I tried using -dxlevel 98 but that didn’t work either. I tried 95 instead of 98 for both and still no success. I tried to add the command to autoexec.cfg with no success either. Clearly this is operator error. The game works fine on dxlevel 90 but I would like to force to 98 like I’ve been able to do with any other Source title.
I have to disagree with the day one performance fix. I forced my embedded graphics card instead of the integrated card and forced triple buffering. I didn’t enable the FPS counter in the console but there was a clear performance boost even with all advanced options ticked. Easily getting 4x FPS with no more audio stutter.
