I notice that the sv_compressfragments and sv_compressstringtablebaselines convars that were present in the prerelease branch have been removed. Does the functionality of net_compresspackets_minsize replace both of them? i.e: can the minsize convar be cranked up to a large value to prevent compression for both types of packets entirely? Alternatively, has a different*—*less expensive*—*compression scheme been introduced to "fix" the CPU spikes?
Thanks!
