Does anyone else notice that the r_drawnearfov command automatically defaults to "60" everytime you start a match even though I have already inputted the "r_drawnearfov 80" command in an autoexec config file?

That's kinda odd...

r_drawnearfov is basically how far your weapon appears from your character...

Yep, I've noticed this too and hopefully there is a fix in the works.
