Mx0 ·· The balance of "options.cfg" and "useropts.cfg"

DragonStorm

It's strange, I'm running with x2.00, and all my usual options (plus a few extras now oddly enough!) and I have no drop in fps!

What are your computer specs?! I was running 2 - 4 fps and crashed after 5 minutes at the 2.00 settings. SMILEY

Turn off ped density and UI lighting ans UI transparency. They are less than necessary if you want to take ariel pics.

Athlon 2Gz, 1GB and a GeForce 6200 256mb.

*curses the lack of edit button*

I usually run with shadows off mind you, just because they do slow my game down,. The x2.00 cfg files don't seem to make much of a difference in fps, shadows or otherwise, though.

But I still manage to keep everything else on max/high at 1600x1200, and I get a good 30-40fps most of the time.

I drop down in heavy PvP, although again, that's nothing to do with the x2.00, that's just normal.

**UniToxic**

now im confused,
I got;
AMD Athlon 3800+ (2.6ghz)
nVidia 7800GTX-TDH 256mb (forced anatialising on)
3gb Corsair (ddr400)

and i run everything on max, at 1280x1024 normally, and get 20-25 FPS (even in massive pvp) (useropts forces x12 antialiasing + hi texture building no matter the distance)

however i use the x2.00 and i get 4-6FPS....

**Roukan**

I only get bad FPS drops when I'm chasing someone or running away.

It's the distance settings that kill me, and make my FPS drop significantly (x2.00 anyway)... Other than that, it's gorgeous to look at! SMILEY

Only problem is (as Ann's told me) the minute I go into options and mess with any Advanced settings, it kills all the distance and other special settings, and brings me back to more or less "normal" max MxO.

Yup. It does that to all tinkered options. You have to alter the advanced settings in the useropts file itself to avoid that. Apparantly, turning "Scale LOD" options back on significantly decreased the lag.

Mx0 ·· "options/useropts (cfg) - ingame options"

@ Orexis

Yes, thats all right, only a small correction - I said, changing the "ingame options" destroys the running session, that means you can change the "ingame options", but a mxo restart is necessary then. Or like PBlade says do all in the file self, but to be ownest I am sometimes too lazy to log off, deactivate the "read-only" checkbox of the file, open a file, write new values in, save it, open properties and activate the "read-only" checkbox again and restart. The restart you must do anyway, so I think its much easier to change the settings ingame and restart only - thats all.

@ DragonStorm

Thank you so much for your nice PMs and all your replies, I am allways very happy when people send me a photo of their experiences with the settings and some comments about it.

bye

These are magnificent, and I agree that it would be great if this game ran with this graphics by default. You girls do exceptional work. PM sent.
