It used to be in the Beta forums, and I bookmarked it to try it out on my wife's computer once OB started, but now it's gone. Unfortunately, I don't recall who posted it, but it was a "copy this and paste it into your user.cfg" deal, and it was supposed to make the game "ugly but playable".

The post was called: "user.cfg tweaking for performance & visuals"

Does anyone have the pertinent info?

Thanks.

Trying to find it, too - but maybe this helps for now (nvidea card here):

IMPORTANT: Enable the use of custom user.cfg by editing the attributes.xml file in Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\User\Profiles\"your ingame nick" and change the line
<Attr name="OptionCfg.sys_spec" value="0"/>
to value="-1"
Note: Everytime you adjust something in the options in the game this value is being reset to 0, so make sure it is -1 again after adjusting in game options.

Look up your mechwarrior folder. It should be ...\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online.

Here you should find a file called "user.cfg". If not, create one.

Edit it with notepad (I use notepad++) - it should be empty.

Copy paste the following into it:

This is the one I use it gives greatest performance of all the user.cfg I found.

Sorry I am not sure who made this one but it isn't me I would like to give credit to him. I think it's Colonel Pada Vision.

[Vorus]

Excellent! Very Excellent! Those are exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks to both of you.

[xhrit]

did you actually manage to use the custom cfg file?

It seems to have no effect.

[SquawkHawk]

Thank you, this has made MWO playable on my below spec comp that only has:

AMD Athlon™ II X2 240 Processor
geforce 8500 gt (256mb)
4 gig RAM
Windows xp

Used Schrottfroch's cfg and it helps on all maps except "River City". "River City" is the only map that always has an unplayably slow frame rate for some reason.

Thank goodness somebody saved this stuff.

I took PGI at their word (Yes, I should know better by now) when they said the Closed Beta forums would be "archived but accessible" and didn't bother saving it.

[Tauman Malthus]

I am on the same page as Card, thank you for making the info easy to find again.

Thanks I'll add it to my collection of low end .cfg

I tried this in 2 games. It didn't improve my framerate noticeably but it did make the game utterly unplayable.

It so gimped my mouse response that I had to repeatedly slide the thing across the table just to make my mech torso twist a few degrees. Normally it never leaves its pad. This user.cfg makes keyboard controls for all mech movement mandatory

This also "zooms back" the view so you see a lot of the cockpit and little of the battlefield. This visual gimp didn't improve framerate for me

Appreciate the info and attempt though.

Just comment out the mouse and FOV stuff...

Why? The file didn't improve my framerates in any noticeable way. I didn't even notice much of a difference in the visuals TBH. On my older computer I actually went from 22-30 FPS to the infamous 4 with this applied. My main PC stayed in the 30-80 FPS range.

I do find it saddening that there's an "ATI Fix" in there though, firstly because of the message that sends and secondly because ATI no longer exists.

[Oshay]

In a similar vein, there was a discussion thread in the Closed Beta forum about the new CryEngine, and how everything is now brown (fog, particles, general colour). A fellow had even posted pictures of before and after, showing how the game was now very much more... brown. And he also posted a user.cfg and some tweaks that allowed you to both strip the brown out of the game, and improve your FPS while you were about it (since the brown was some sort of filter that actually took up memory/gpu cycles).

Does anyone happen to have that information saved? A few searches of the forum for 'user.cfg brown' 'brown fog*' and 'brown particles' didn't turn up any results.

[Phlinger]

We should recompile our .CFG files and vote for a sticky up top. Would be great to have this info readily available again.

you can adjust the values to suit your needs

This is a lower end user.cfg file. by disabling all the postprocessing effects shaders I was able to achieve another 3-5 FPS on every map.

None of these configs is really rock bottom low, all of em have some "sprinkles" here and there. Someone should really make one, I would if I knew how.

Ok so after upgrading my PC I noticed I still have a FPS drop in game, even saw as low as 8FPS at one point. So I am thinking about doing this. FPS is more important to me than eye candy when I wanna get a smooth shot off.

I looked up Games/Piranha Games/Mechwarrior Online/User/Profiles/PiWright42 and found four items, Action Maps, Attributes, Profile, and Weapongroups. The only thing I found that would allow me to do as you suggest is in Attributes. There is says...

<Attr value="1" name="OptionCfg.sys_spec"/>

That is a literal copy and paste and it looks a skoche different than what you said I should expect to see. So the question is can I modify that "1" to a "-1" like you suggested even when you told me to look for a 0?
