lowering details

Pakos · 10-28-2011, 11:41 AM

I'm playing on safe mode, i have disabled weather and particle fx, lowered distance and textures (only to see movement and combat animation) so basically can't go lower in game options. is there a way to disable anything else, useless to get more fps? even 1-2 fps woudl be great. I bet some of you know something

?? lots more info, graphics card, ram, proc, operating system etc. What fps are you getting? If 1 or 2 is all something is very wrong, graphics hardware and/or drivers at a guess.

Safe mode isnt the fastest setting, turning off shaders and other options will give better performance and testing then 1 by 1 will show where your loosing performance. The game.cfg (in the installation folder on linux, not sure on win) gives you loads of things to tweak, there should be no need to screw around with it but it wont do any harm if you keep a backup. When you get your char standing with his arms out straight to the sides and no animations your probably near minimum settings

It's useless to post my pc, i can only run game on safe mode and fixed pipeline, otherwise game wont run. At mob fight i'm getting 8-11 fps so as you can see even 2 more could make better performance for me :P

Upgrade ur drivers.

As I said in the thread where you left the game, using safe mode actually lowers your FPS in most cases as it is meant to solve and debug crashes, not run fast. This means that it disables all of the speed optimizations, so you need to use fixed pipeline instead, which is the optimized version of safe mode.

You can also adjust the LOD settings in the configuration file if other players are what slows you down.

Find these settings in the configuration file, and replace them:
vg_lod_distance = 70
vg_map_object_lod_1 = 0
vg_map_object_lod_2 = 0
vg_map_object_lod_3 = 0
vg_map_object_lod_4 = 20
vg_object_body_distance_lod_1 = 0
vg_object_body_distance_lod_2 = 0
vg_object_body_distance_lod_3 = 0
vg_object_body_distance_lod_4 = 20

The last one is broken and results in missing triangles, so I have it set to a further away distance.

I used to play like this on my old laptop, quite a horrible experience.

I found back then by disabling fog, I could push another 1-2 fps out of my lappy.

vg_enable_fog = 0
vg_fog_end_scale = 0.000000
vg_fog_start_scale = 0.000000

By setting the above! Good luck.
