Hi guys, long story short, i have ancient PC that i play MWO with, and with everything on low and play on some ultra low res (1280x720 or something like that) i need a working user.cfg that will disable/reduce everything in game.

Now, i have used some user.cfg in past, and the did work, but since recently (like 2-3 patches) everytime i load game with those old user.cfg files, game crash on startup with KERNEL.DLL error.

Some light weight user.cfg which remove few things works, but the realy good ones don't

So if anyone have a working one for maximum performace, that would be great !

Are you running the game as 32bit or 64bit? dx9 or dx11?

Have you run the Repair Tool?

What is your system config? post the info in your user.cfg.

I run 64-bit, as i have Win 7 SP1 64bit OS, dx9.

Yeah, i run repair few times, but that is not the issue here (you will understand when you see my specs)


PC SPECS

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K
MB: MSI A68HM-E33 V2 (MS-7721)
MEM: 2x Patriot DDR3 4GB 1600mhz
GFX: ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB
HDD: Samsung 1TB
SOUNDCARD: Creative SoundBlaster xTreme Music

As far as PC goes, its in ok condition, but the GFX is ancient (yeah yeah, i know i should upgrade, but I dont have money right now...)

Here is the current user.cfg im running

So, basicly, after two load's with this .cfg, game crashes on launch with following error

When I remove .cfg game start as usual in working order

Whole 'streaming' section in your settings looks strange to me. Also, here is one of better configs that gets occasional updates - it can be tweaked more and fine-tuned for every machine but it's a good reference point:

Thx m8, that user.cfg u gave is working like a charm !
