[L4D2] Plugin that can disable flashlight flickering

kalmas77 · **Author**

I don't found any information about this in the forum.

This workshop is working, but it can't work with custom weapons skins.

Well, the small fps drop is annoying, but more is the flashlight flickering.

I figured out that I can use the +r_flashlightmuzzleflashfov 0 +r_flashlightmuzzleflash 0 native cvars with the launch option of the game, and not in the autoexec.cfg because requires sv_cheats 1.

It's not equal to the workshop mod, but hopefully this "guide" was helpful to someone.

Probably won't make any difference that FPS drop, maybe is annoying just cause you are looking at the numbers.

But is a game from 2009, most of pcs can handle it and looks like a micro optimization IMO.

If you want "performance" boots try searching from things like "Optimized Particles" like these ones:

On versus may not work tho

Not much related to SM cause thiese stuff are most client-side.
