About/FAQ

What is Vusalo?
Vusalo is a (somewhat subjectivised) performance enhancer for TF2 that’s based around improving stability, originally created by nermur.

Why Vusaline?
I started Vusaline with the intention to continue and improve the original Vusalo. You could think of it as an "experimental" version of Vusalo, however Vusaline also includes a lot of changes that maintain it up-to-date with the current versions of TF2.

How does Vusaline compare to other configs?

• It’s focused on game stability, CPU time reduction, and stable/smooth frametimes.

• Measures/benchmarks are taken with a profiler (very accurate), instead of FPS/Frames Per Second.

• Config files are easy to read through.

• Bad preferences are blocked off.

• Massive improvements to loading times (no FPS impact).

• Reduced memory usage (no FPS impact).

Decision making
You can find how many of Vusalo/Vusaline’s decisions were taken here.

"The installer gives me an error!"
Reextract Vusaline.zip and double-check the install directory.

"I don’t like how Vusaline does [X]!"
Re-run the installer and configure the settings to your liking. If you can’t find what you’re looking for there, you can add custom commands and cvars to autoexec2.cfg located in Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg (create it if it isn’t there). If you’re still unable to change what it is you want, then this is most likely a design choice. To learn more, please go here.

"I want to uninstall this crap!"
Go to Team Fortress 2\Vusaline and run unins000.exe.

vusaline's Issues

Incorrect Directory Placement error even though TF2 is correctly installed

Whenever I try running file_operations.bat, it doesn't actually install any cfg files when I checked the cfg folder. I ran it as administrator and it shows me the following:

C:\Windows\system32>set /A block_crash_reporting=1

C:\Windows\system32>set /A block_speex_voice_codec=1

C:\Windows\system32>set /A block_celt_voice_codec=1

C:\Windows\system32>set /A block_vr=1

C:\Windows\system32>set /A block_all_voicelines=0

C:\Windows\system32>set /A use_new_sdl2=0

C:\Windows\system32>set /A disable_hl2_sounds=0

C:\Windows\system32>set /A disable_map_intros=1
ERROR: INCORRECT DIRECTORY PLACEMENT! THIS FILE MUST BE PLACED IN "Team Fortress 2\Vusalo"!

Edit: nvm i just didnt look close enough

urfat

Why use Vusaline over mastercomfig?

mastercomfig is much more well known and documented than this enhancer. I noticed there are a few differences between the commands in the decisions page versus mastercomfig's comfig.cfg, and I fail to see why these changes are worth the switch, especially since "How does Vusalo compare to other configs?" in the FAQ doesn't really show a comparison or show why it's better.

I don't see a reason why you couldn't just suggest these changes with an issue in mastercomfig's repo, like the commands and reasons in decisions.adoc or protection.cfg.
