Help needed to keep res, AA, AF & DX9 settings

[evecomm]

I've put -dxlevel90 (Or what ever the command is to force DX9) into the start up properties of HL2, DM & CSS. I have an Nvidia 5900 Ultra so it needs to be forced.

Everytime I start one of the games, I have to go into the video settings and set the res to 1280 x 1024, and then the AA to x2 & AF to x8. I think the command I use -dxlevel90 just resets the game to the default settings ie 1024 x 768 no AA and triliner AF.

I'd like any help people can offer to keep the settings once and for all. Can I add more to the start up commands to make sure the settings are started everytime or shall I remove the command, set everything to the level I need, close the game down and then just use the -dxlevel90 in the start up to make the required res, AA, AF and DX9.

Cheers for any help

iim sure you commands to change are in the autoexec config file, and make it readonly after so they dont get changed back. Not sure what sort of performance you'd get on that high res and all the AF and AA...

Thanks for the reply, the performance is fine with the settings it's just a case of keeping them. I haven't tried the config's I'll try in there and see how I get on.

Cheers for the reply
