Hello guys,

 

I saw some threads here, that some people have problem with their FPS (FPS=Frames per Second), so i decided to make a topic to help you.

First of all, one important thing is, that you need to have the latest graphicsdriver.

Look the nVidia or the ATI for download links.

 

The next thing is that you have enough RAM or to free it up while gaming (use for example Game Booster 3).

Another thing is to defragmenting your HDD (not your SSD ), use the windows built-in feature.

 

An issue why the framerate may drop is, that your Laptop or PC (especially the GPU) is overheating. You can check it with MSI Afterburner, which is a fantastic program to show your fps, GPU-usage and GPU-temperature ingame. It's mainly designed to overclock your GPU, but please be very, very careful with this, it can crash your computer.

Temperatures over 85В°C are not healthful and you may need a coolpad or a new cooling system.

 

 

The next thing I do is to edit my configuration for the game (all Call of Duty's have these files).

You can edit it with Notepad++ or just the "normal" notepad (it can be found in [FourDeltaOne]/players/config_m2.cfg)

 

Be sure you have a backup of your config-file and start editing.

 

Here are some tweaks to improve your Framerate (they are not listed in the ingamemenu, so please check first, that you have turned the details in the options menu down!):

Disable the Anisotropic filter

seta r_texFilterAnisoMax "1"

 

Disable dynamic enviroment:

seta dynEnt_active "0"

 

Disable the distorsion of your weapons, etc.

seta r_distortion "0"

 

Number of dynamic lights

seta r_dlightLimit "0"

 

Cache skin

seta r_fastSkin "1"

 

Toggles whether bullet hits leave marks

seta fx_marks "0"

 

Toggles whether bullet hits leave marks on entities

seta fx_marks_ents "0"

 

Toggles whether bullet hits leave marks on static models

fx_marks_smodels "0"

 

Removes sun (you will furthermore see something )

seta r_drawSun "0"

 

Disable water animation

seta r_drawWater "0"

 

shell ejection

seta cg_brass "0"

 

Set the compression level for the textures

seta r_picmip "3"

 

Shader Modeling "Default"-SM 2.0 or "Shader model 3.0"

seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 3.0"

 

Water quality

seta r_picmip_water "3"

 

Quality of Bumpmaps

seta r_picmip_bump "0"

 

Quality of Textures on structures

seta r_lodBiasRigid "1"

 

Quality of Textures on skin

seta r_lodBiasSkinned "1"

 

Disabled glow

seta r_glow_allowed "0"

 

Disable Anti-Aliasing

seta r_aaAlpha "0"

 

Change the process-priority to low, when the game is minimized

seta r_autopriority "1"

 

 

Optional

no FPS-Boost, but to show your FPS ingame

seta cg_drawFPS "Simple"

 

 

Set the Field of view (default=65, max.=90)

seta cg_fov "80"

 

Limitting the Framerate

Well maybe needs this command an explanation, this just limits the max. framerate, this is really useful when you got some fps-drops, but in general the game runs with more than 70 (for example with 90 and sometimes just with 40), then this command may help

seta com_maxfps "70"

PS: Sry for my bad english :/

 

edited: changed to english website, added some more commands

You might want to link to the English versions of the NVIDIA and AMD website instead of the German ones. Other than that, nice work.

shell ejaculation

 

iykwim

 

But yeah. Looks like a good guide, though there's plenty of other settings you can find with console.

 

I believe the right term is ejection.

 

Thanks for the list though, couldn't find the dynamic lights one.

Maybe you have to just insert them, some are not in the default configuration.

Here some other commands:

 

seta snaps "30"
seta r_picmip_water "0"
seta r_gpuSync2 "0"
seta r_glow_allowed "0"
seta r_autopriority "1"
seta r_aaSamples "0"
seta cg_fov "80" (optional)
seta cg_drawFPS "On" (optional)
seta cl_yawspeed "720" (optional)

 

have a nice day/night/evening/etc :mrgreen:

No, I meant I couldn't find the dynamic lights one BEFORE looking at the list. Also, all should be in the default config.

Here some other commands:

 

seta snaps "30"
seta r_picmip_water "0"
seta r_gpuSync2 "0"
seta r_glow_allowed "0"
seta r_autopriority "1"
seta r_aaSamples "0"
seta cg_fov "80" (optional)
seta cg_drawFPS "On" (optional)
seta cl_yawspeed "720" (optional)

Great, I'll add them to the list, okay?
