How to Make Good Screenshots on Crappy Computers!

[Tango]

Hey all, This is a technique I use and suggest for screenshots for people with underpowerd hardware that cant handle high Settings.
.
Ill be brief, its a single command that everybody should know: host_timescale

• If you set host_timescale lower than 1 your performance will increase drastically. I used a HP 15.6" laptop for my crappy computer. Putting setting to stock High / Very High settings through the Advanced Settings (No .cfg files)
  
• If you want a tutorial for taking better screenshots I suggest Crash's great video here.

Performance tests​

host_timescale 1

Host_timescale 0.3

Host_timescale 0.00001 (Be aware that you basically can't move)

Hopes this helps people with bad PCs make taking screenshots more enjoyable.
