ShadowFilterRadius=1.000000 -- Higher values will cause some visual glitches, however this will not. NumStreamedMips=0 -- Add this to the end of every "TEXTUREGROUP" this includes the comma! PoolSize=320 -- This can be the size of your choosing MinTimeToGuaranteeMinMipCount=0 MaxTimeToGuaranteeMinMipCount=0 Do note that the ones below in all CAPS are actually DIFFERENT variables than the ones not in caps.
