Brink: Vinkkejä kilpapelaajalta!

Console commands & miscellaneous tweaks
To my surprise, many of the console commands that worked in ET: Quake Wars have been disabled in Brink. This helps level the competitive playing field, but restricts players who would like to fine-tune their setup. Only a handful of commands are available, besides turning the main options down, that will have any significant impact on the picture quality/frames per second. Players with low end hardware should definitely play on a 640x480 resolution to secure a reasonable FPS gain. The id Tech 4 engine might be 7 years old, but having been heavily modified it does still require a decent PC to run smoothly. As always, make sure you have the latest video card drivers if you want to get the best out of Brink.

-Console can be reached with CTRL+ALT+CONSOLE BUTTON, use com_allowconsole "1" for faster access
-The config files are located at C:\ProgramFiles\Steam\userdata\YOURSTEAMID\22350\local\base and to include all the binds in the file use “writeconfig autoexec” in console
-Disabling the intro videos can be done in Brink’s steam launch options: add the line +set com_bootLogo "0"
-Windowed mode can be achieved by com_useFastVidRestart "1"
-ui_fov "102", I recommend using a fov between 87 and 103
-r_displayrefresh "" to set your monitor refresh rate
-ui_showgun “0” to remove gun model, this is only favourable when playing with a low spread weapon like the SMG’s because the iron-sight vanishes
-g_friendlyTextColor "0 1 0 1" (RGB) changes teammates health bar colour, the green I am using is much more eye-catching
