Spider 15 team check before I commit gear (high refresh rate)

Finally worked this out, so here is the write-up I wish I had found. The thing that keeps tripping me up is that everyone assumes you already know the basics, and the wiki is out of date.

Thanks in advance to anyone who chips in.

Agreed on most of this, except the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

This is the bit people miss — this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

For what it is worth, do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.
