Recent High-FPS (potato mode) config?

(fandangoAxe) #1

I’ve tried to do it myself, but from what I’ve heard - too low value and it resets your whole config,
Anyone have recent high-fps config? It doesn’t have to be potato, really.

@Amerika has one I believe.

I messaged him.

@Amerika Would you like to share your secret with wider audience ? :slight_smile:

It’s no secret. The same config is available all over the place. Hell, easiest way to get what I run (hud and UI) is to go to www.twitch.tv/scarfino and do !config in the chat. The bot is always there and running and it will give you the file link and short instructions that tell you to set the files to read only.

Okay, so - Amerika’s config is very good FPS config, thank you for that man.

I don’t really know if you wanted to achieve the lowest possible graphic settings for the moment? Because it bugs me that we can’t (I think) make graphics look like potato.

Recent patches made it impossible so I think I’ve made the lowest possible config at given moment - if anyone is interested in the config, reply here and I’ll upload it :slight_smile:

I’ve studied dozens of configs and none of them makes the game look like potato.
Well it did few months ago but now it’s impossible.

So if there is anyone out there with actual WORKING potato mode config, PM me please.

Those settings were all limited by Splash Damage a while back. There is no way to remove all the textures and change the LoD’s like you could in the past. Basically, what you have now is literally the lowest possible you can go through config edits.

That’s bad, I mean really. They limited it waaay too much. But its SD so… :pensive:
Anyway, thanks for the info.

The issue is a lot of the effects were tied to working with certain value levels. Once you went below a few values some of those effects started to go away. People were removing airstrikes from the game for example while trying to remove muzzle flash. And a lot of map stuff like trees that are there to somewhat impede line of sight were gone. So SD removed the ability to set values that low.

It would be nice if SD did what they said they would do and make a new ultra-low setting for people but I think right now they are working on getting the game running great for everyone. They have said in recent streams and on reddit that they have people who are working on FPS issues so hopefully soon you won’t need a “potato config” to get playable FPS. So at least they are focusing on it.

That’s great news really. But they should leave TEXTUREGROUP option which only affects textures, not effect or tree leaves.

Buut all of this made me know much about tweaking UE3 engine so I’m prepared for changes :blush:

They are working on optimisation now !
