Hello, first of all i will let my PC specs and the frames i get in different situations to have an idea of how this fix could improve your perfomance My pc specs are: OS: Windows XP 32bits RAM: 2 GB DDR2 CPU: AMD Athon X2 250 running at 3.01GHz GPU: Nvidia Gforce 9500 GT 1GB DDR2 In free areas my fps are arround 50-60, in the warpgate arround 20-30, in middle combat they stay between 20-30 and in big combats they stay between 15-25 (They drop to less than 10 if i look directly to explosions in the big combats) I just tested this on my computer so maybe in some computers this tweak will have less impact than in others Ok, we start with the tutorial: 1) You must go where you have installed your game and find the file UserOptions.ini 2)Make a back-up of that file so if you do anything wrong you still having the original 3)Open the file ''UserOptions.ini'' with notepad or any other text editor you use 4)Delete everything inside it 5)PASTE THE NEXT LINES WITHOUT CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR EMPTY UserOptions.ini [Display] FullscreenRefresh=0 Maximized=0 RenderQuality=0.500000 FullscreenWidth=800 FullscreenHeight=600 WindowedWidth=1024 WindowedHeight=768 Mode=Fullscreen FullscreenMode=Fullscreen [Rendering] GraphicsQuality=1 TextureQuality=3 ShadowQuality=0 RenderDistance=300 Gamma=0.000000 MaximumFPS=1000 UseLod0a=0 OverallQuality=-1 LightingQuality=0 EffectsQuality=0 TerrainQuality=0 FloraQuality=0 ModelQuality=0 VerticalFOV=63 ParticleLOD=0 ParticleDistanceScale=0.650000 FogShadowsEnable=0 MotionBlur=0 VSync=0 [Controls] CameraAutoAdjustment=1 ClickToMove=0 ClickToMoveRightButton=0 RailCamera=1 [Sound] Master=1.000000 Music=1.000000 Game=1.000000 Dialog=1.000000 UI=1.000000 UseFloat32Output=0 ExclusiveMode=0 HitIndicator=1 LowAmmoIndicator=1 VehicleChatter=1 MaxVoices=12 [VideoCapture] Resolution=2 Quality=100 OutputFile=Videos\PS2Video_0001 [VideoStreamer] Resolution=1 Fps=30 Kbps=0 MicRecordVolume=0.000000 SpeakerRecordVolume=1.000000 Username= [Terrain] RenderFlora=On [AutoRefuse] FriendInvitation=0 DuelInvitation=0 GuildInvitation=0 HideUi=1 TradeRequest=0 HousingInvitation=0 GroupInvitation=0 [General] AutoDetectPerformanceSettings=0 MouseSensitivity=0.620000 VehicleMouseSensitivity=0.650000 FlightMouseSensitivity=0.660000 ZoomToggle=1 [Video] VideoCapturePrefix=PS2Video [VoiceChat] EchoEnabled=1 EchoVolume=0.500000 ProximityEnabled=1 ProximityVolume=0.500000 FactionEnabled=1 FactionVolume=0.500000 GroupEnabled=1 GroupVolume=0.500000 GroupLeaderEnabled=1 GroupLeaderVolume=0.500000 RaidEnabled=1 RaidVolume=0.500000 GuildEnabled=1 GuildVolume=0.500000 CustomEnabled=1 CustomVolume=0.500000 [Voice] ReceiveVolume=76.000000 MicrophoneVolume=50.000000 [UI] WelcomeScreenShown=1 MapZoomLevel=6 MapPositionX=-40.3774433125 MapPositionY=-192.2968673442383 ShowMapTutorial=0 MapCenterOnPlayer=0 ShowCertsTutorial=1 MapStatisticsView=0 6)You can enter to the game and enjoy it with 20 or 30 more FPS This can have you guys a little calmed until the devs finish with the optimizations (Yes, they are doing it) and I dont think this can be considerer as hacking since the viewdistance, render quality and resolution gets reduced so you will find hard to spot and attack far targets.
Thx for this. Since i take this config (but still with GraphicsQuality=3,TextureQuality=1) i have much more FPS (25-30+ in big fights) ( before 15-20). But i would change the max. audio channels, it really sucks without much sound..

The problem with that is that it will reduce my FPS a bit, but thank you anyway, about the audio channels, i lowered them and the performance of the game improved a lot, that's why i have it low. Glad it worked for you
wow my computer totally dominates the OP;s but im getting 10 fps. I went out and bought win 8 last night to try to get more fps (was running xp 32 bit like you lol) trying this twill edit to see if it works. didnt seem to do anything for me still get 10 fps constant. nice post though
Well as i mentioned in the start, it may not work like it did for me in some computers, but you could search some other ways to fix the fps or wait until some optimization, thank you for you feedback. *EDIT* Also remember that it's the game fault, not the computer.A lot of users with very good computers are having the same problems than us
Just for fun i tried what Roxon proposed and my game crashed on launch. I deleted the UserOptions.ini file to restore everything to defaults and it worked great. So i guess if you are having problems launching delete this file
Deleting the file will return the graphics to default, my UserOptions.ini was configurated to put some things in lowest (below low...yeah you cant put lowest from the game so i modiffied the UserOptions.ini), so in fact, deleting it will give me 5 less fps
I benchmarked alot of games with the use of Windows 7 and 8 in comparison. Sad to inform you that Windows 7 performs much better in any role than windows 8, Windows 8 isn't made for gaming. You should stick to windows 7 64 bit instead.
I got a 10fps boost or so from windows 8. You might have benched a lot of games but did you bench Planetside 2?
or you had a less well setup windows 7 configuration? i seriously doubt windows 8 improves this game atm
I'm also running windows 8 and in most games I either get the same FPS or higher. I get 20 fps more on Borderlands 2 for example. I already had W8 when I got PS2, so can't comment on which is better, but I have vsync enabled and I never drop below 52 fps in big fights. System specs for moi: i5 3570k @ 4.2ghz GTX 670 OC 8gb Patriot RAM 1600mhz 1tb HDD Corsair A50 cooler Aerocool 6th element case OCZ ZS750 PSU Windows 8 Pro I find that my cpu is the bottleneck most of the time. As far as I know, this game is heavily CPU bound so if you're running older systems, a cheap CPU upgrade is probably a good idea for your mobo socket. Even an i3 or phenom II X4/6 is a decent upgrade for little monies if your cpu is getting on a bit!
Dude i cannot thank you enough! I only got 25 FPS on a good day, and now I can actually play this game! It was my FPS lag that was killing me, i had to redo the sound file, but other than that this was amazing!
