Low GFX config

(INF3RN0) #1

Just something for people to try out if they are experiencing issues.

Copy over c:/programfiles/warchest/DB/published/content/shootergame/cfg/shooterengine.ini

You will have to use notepad to edit the ini file.

Schew!!! Was worried for a moment there, good looking out Inf3rno lol :slight_smile:

FYI guys there are a few problems that happen when you copy the cfg over. (1) the system specs info will change your graphics to High (2) Certain objects will have large red squares around them. I’ll try to solve those problems and update the post after.

and put a password on it?:o

It’s set to private. A graphical config isn’t giving anything away anyway lol.

Thanks!

With J4b’s and this tips my 470gtx increased to 220-230fps (@1024x768) in a empty server, but it drops to 50-60fps with 10 players…

I think that is something related with the procesor, this afternoon I’ll check if all cores are running. Another thing to investigate is the relationship between fps and netspeed in UT3…

I get the same and have moaned about it before (I get 80-90fps now for instance on LB but drops to 50 as soon as any players join and drops more the more players there are, down to 30 with a full server). I’m on quad-core i3 460 3.07GHz. Interesting to see if multi-threading is working.

MaxAnisotropy=1
MaxMultiSamples=1

Shouldnt this be set to “0” for better performance?

tried this cfg, and it works awesome. my fps is now staying steadily between 70-100 so far. was just playing with about 10 people on server and it was almost like playing a whole new game! i dropped my resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x960

so far so good! thx a lot

You mean this?

(papa519) #11

thank you! :slight_smile:

Right below CompatLevelGPU= in the Shooter.Engine.ini add

CPUNumLogicalProcessors=## ( ## For how many cores you have )

CPUNumLogicalProcessors=8 in my case for a i7.

I did some tests and it does seem to use all 4 cores. The bad news is the latest update today seems to keep overwriting my ini files every time the game runs up to max settings :confused:

EDIT: making files read-only fixes (http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/34835-Config-settings-overwritten-on-game-launch?p=429277&viewfull=1#post429277)

if i copy the cfg of inferno…there is no difference…and the game starts in 1920x1080 and high-settings. :frowning:

(Violator) #15

you need to make the file read-only, the last patch keeps overwriting it otherwise.

(spookify) #16

How do you do that just save as “read only”

Does anyone else have any tips?

I would love to see Leestyles CFG as it seems like he doesnt miss and teleports everywhere!

(Dthy) #17

Not sure how on Mac, but on windows just right click -> Properties -> Attributes -> Check “Read-only”

(spookify) #18

Code 3 Error :confused:

He bought the cloaking device pack on the SD item store ofc. It also comes with complimentary one-liner taunts and comeback vsays from 1973!
