### Manual tweaks of the autoexec.cfg###
##############################

tweak your autoexec.cfg

seta com_allowConsole "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0) console

seta ui_fov "xx " ... default(70)

seta com_showFPS "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0)

seta net_graph "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0)

seta net_clientLagOMeter "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0) (works if the server side support it)

seta r_shadows "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0)

seta com_machineSpec "x" ... low (0)/ med(1)/hi(2)/vhi(3) graphic-settings

seta com_bootLogo "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0) intro movie

seta g_enemyTintEnabled "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0)

seta g_loadScreenWait "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0) skip All map loading videos

seta ui_showgun "x" ... enable (1)/disable(0)

seta r_useThreadedRenderer "x" .... x - number of cpu cores to use

I have mine set to 4 but I haven't looked to see if my cpu usage actually looks any different between 1 or 4 cores being used.

Probably best to be a little careful with these tools, at least to start with. Lots of the cvars are apparently locked or are server-side only. Here's a warning from the Splash Damage boards about the brinkkit tool:
www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27064

There are some options in there that will definitely hurt performance (turning off portals!) and some that do not do anything (e.g. Video RAM cannot be changed, only detected). Also changing the audio channels in-game won't necessarily give the desired results, you need to ensure your Windows Control Panel audio settings match.

Long story short: not officialised/endorsed by the makers of BRINK, use at your own risk.
