I recall that the command also resets a lot of graphics options (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Since we want to run our own using the cfg, resetting it would be pointless. Other side effects include changing screen resolution and supposedly some in game bugs which i can no longer recall sadly. That's what I remember chris saying at any rate.]]></description>

more useful on servers, if you have a watchdog process &#38; want the server to restart after a crash without having to click ok, pointless on clientside]]></description>

		<blockquote>And -d3d , is that fine?

There is no -d3d, as there is only 1 video mode under Windows and 1 video mode under Mac, so there is no point to try to change the video mode.

-console makes the console show up when you launch the game.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[It disables Direct3D 9Ex (instead deferring to true Direct3D 9), which will usually incur a non-negligible performance penalty. As a side effect, it enables/disables stuff that Valve bundled with their implementation, which might affect which bugs you do or don't encounter (Mumble overlay bug being one of them). There have been reports that changing mat_antialias to 1 instead of 0 stops it, but then the backpack icons break again. You just can't win with Valve!

    	    <description><![CDATA[Hi again chris!

Was looking at the recent mumble overlay issue popping up in the recent tf2 updates.

There was a mention of the launch option -nod3d9ex fixing the mumble overlay around etf2l. More members on the steam community forums saying that it helps fps stability.

Can you please clarify what this launch option actually does?

I'm curious.]]></description>

I can't get it to do anything (-threads {1..8} all have the same effect), but I assume it's supposed to control the number of usermode threads that hl2.exe spawns.]]></description>
