This might help a few that are having problems.

Goto play games right click DoD;S and them launch options and put -heapsize 512000 if you have 1gig of ram or -heapsize 256000 if you have 512 basically you cut whatever memory you have in 1/2.





1. HDR looks beautiful , kills fps so i decided to set it to "bloom only" in video options. ( i plan to re-enable hdr when valve release a fix update )

2. Shadows , set to low. Yes they look nice but you don't really notice them a great deal when your playing.

3. Texture , model etc on medium

4. Config , goes in here C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\youracount\day of defeat source\dod\cfg . You will need to create a text file then call it autoexec.cfg paste the below into that file and insert it into the above dir.

The config is a modified cs:s config

//Net settings

//Other
mat_dxlevel 81


5. Dxlevel , set this to 8.1 , or as the engine recognises it as 81 , the line in the autoexec is done for you ( mat_dxlevel 81 ). But you will need to go to Playgames - right click on day of defeat source - go to properties - then launch options and paste in the box the following -dxlevel 81 , don't forget the - .


Hope this helps .

if you have multiple things in your launch options, do you need a comma or semicolon or whatnot to separate them? (-novid -heapsize 512000 and -dxlevel 81 are the ones I will need..)

Usually most scripting is seperated by a semi colon. I believe this works for this scenerio as well.
