  • optimizing settings

    I've noticed lately that i've been kinda laggy in MP. I only play on west coast servers, where the server ping is like 40-60, but my in game ping is over 100. I usually get laggy while im sniping or when im in a big fire fight, or when smoke and all that is around.

    My question is, what settings should i turn down that will maximize my FPS but still let the game look nice. Right now i have everything on medium-high.
    Don't tell me to turn everything down, because i know there are certain things which help more than others.

    Did you try pressing the "Optimize Settlings" botton? If you did, then turn off AA, and try turning down your resolution.

      I think AA draws the most system resources.

      Watch messing with the resolution, if you have LCD and turn the resolution lower than its native resolution in some games you actually decrease system performance, which was the case in BF2.

      Reason was something to do with the game having to buffer more for non-native resolutions.

            i have a 22" lcd monitor so i always have my resolution at 1650 x 1050 at a 75 refresh rate.
            Last night i turned off anti aliasing, turned off dynamic lighting, and turned water detail to low. That seemed to get rid of most my multi player lag.

              Had exactly or almost the same problems, turned off AA from 4X to 2X and shadows OFF ( this game is so fast-paced, sometimes even if you see the shadow you're dead, so no point in seing the shadow for nothing ). And now it works like a charm.

                  QFT!! I had an occasion to see him here in Montreal but something came up, had tickets too. Now I regret not going, maybe next time. I have almost all of his work, and if I don't I can have it anytime, but recently I've discovered a couple of DJ's from Eastern Europe ( where I come from - I'm Romanian, and I live in Canada for the past 4 years now ). These guys, Dj Optick and Dj Allen are very promising , but Tiesto is still the king for me.

                      QFT = Quoted For Truth!

                      But it has other meanings too, ^^ is obviously the most used, but there are others:

                      Quite Fuc|<ing True!!
                      Quit Fuc|<ing Trolling!!

                      And some others:

                        And this is why the Canadians need their own forum =P

                        I heard texture settings really drag on the GPU, if you like having AA or something try lowering them instead.
