r_shadows 0 helps somewhat.

Pretty sure com_unlock_maxFPS, com_unlockFPS, com_unlock_timingMethod don’t exist.

I’ve been going through a lot of the quake 4 tweak guides and some of the settings seem to work and give me a slight boost in performance.

My system isnt great by any means so I really need some tweaks to get it working and playable. I was testing a few things and I tried cvar_restart. It took my resolution settings down to 800x600 and I pushed it back up to 1600x900 and I get 60 FPS in the menu. However when I load the game I get a missing cvar error. g_unlockgrenadefrag. If I wait till in game to perform the cvar_restart and then a vid_restart, I get about 30fps in game but random crashes. I don’t know what has changed for the performance increase or if the settings that allow the increase and cause the crash are related but it’s worth looking into. I hope this helps figure out a way that people with antiquated machines like myself can play brink with something higher than 7fps.

Taking cvars directly from Quake 4 for use with BRINK is not advised. The engine in BRINK is far from identical, as would be the resultant behaviour.

r_useThreadedRenderer “2” does not exist according to R2-D2 (or whatever he’s called :tongue:)

It doesn’t do anything (the command is boolean), not to mention the fact that it should not be used and is unsupported in BRINK.

Hey crispy, could you respond to my post instead of just popping into these PC related threads to tell users not to fiddle with the game themselves, I think they know what they’re doing :wink: Maybe you should release a stable game next time and people won’t have to fix it themselves? :rolleyes:

Now in the mean time please respond to some NEW problems.

OH NOES AN INFRACTION ON MY ACCOUNT. What ever would I do if you were to ban by second account…
