Halflife: [CS/MP titles] Add option to force off custom server GUI/HUD elements

Created on 10 Jul 2019 · 5Comments · Source: ValveSoftware/halflife

It's quite awful to join a server and see your fps drop from ~90 to 20-10 due to so many HUD/GUI stuff being shown on your screen. hud_draw 0 fixes the fps drop but now you have to play without a crosshair and default HUD stuff (ammo/health etc..).
Can we please have an option to force off the custom elements? Or at least a cvar to keep the crosshair visible?

I think we need hud optimizations, just text can't drop fps too low.
Сurrent hud/dhud/chat realization in client render leaves much to be desired.

Well glowing text based on tsay and csay commands of amxx are getting me significant drops even on lowest graphical settings..

Yes, I made a issue thread long ago about not only AMXX messages, but sounds as well. I play on 640x480, so AMXX are huge and blocking my view of the game. I hope they make an option to disable them.
