Hello everyone.

I am sharing what is believe is the perfect config for Quake Live. The config strikes a balance between the best performance and visibility whilst maintaining a pleasureable aesthetic.

To get the config properly working it might be necessary to set /r_refreshrate to your preferred value and/or remove the following command lines from the file:
/r_lastValidRenderer "GeForce GTX 760/PCIe/SSE2",
r_windowedHeight "1024",
r_windowedWidth "1600",
r_customHeight "1024",
r_customWidth "1600".

Otherwise all that is left as per usual is to bind your own keys and set your own fov and sensitivity. Also set your own name with cg_selectedPlayerName "X". This can also be done after the fact.

Optional settings that are also worth mentioning which were borrowed from Heartless' config:
/r_mapOverBrightBits "8"
/r_mapOverBrightCap "145"
Whether these are needed, it depends on one's own monitor aswell as the preferred brightness and gamma settings.
And lastly /r_teleporterflash "0"
This command will change the white screen appearing after exiting a teleporter to a black one, if that is more pleasing to the eye on your setup.

I appreciate anyone taking the time to test this config and hope it will be a great addition to the Quake Live experience.

Cheers.

Edit: since the file uploader is a bit wonky I'll post it here aswell.
