check that you have the same config in baseq3 and excessiveplus folder.

I suggest to put all "non-default" commands in a "autoexec.cfg" (to be placed into baseq3 folder, so you won't have such problems anymore, no matter with which command ever.

yep, any cvars that need a restart (Latched) should be set in baseq3 config, if they differ in excessiveplus.cfg you need to wait for/ force restart, for r_settings you could - bind KEY "vid_restart" to load up whats in excessiveplus.cfg when connected to server.

but as mow said making sure both cfgs match is best for instant and long term use.

no, the best is to use a autoexec.cfg for all comands which are not default.
