Anyone have an updated High FPS config? Last I tried some options didn't work and may have caused the game to crash.

+1
The game crashed for me too! I was using the HIGH settings user.cfg from page1.
I had to reinstall -> no user.cfg, no more CTD-bugs, but lower FPS


I would really like to see somebody updating these user.cfg files, who actually knows what he is doing.

If you want "high" navigate to engine/pak and pull the high values from MWO_cvars and set them in the file below.

Hey, not sure if I got it right.

I open the engine.pak with winzip and copy/paste your config into the file called high.cfg?

haha..no.

you navigate to engine.pak - mwo_cvars folader, then open the files inside (textures, shadows, etc.)

then copy and paste the values from there to replace the values in the user.cfg file with the values you want to try.

ya know, ive asked it again, and will do this again, why are we the players basically forced to do PGI's job FOR them? I know nothing of coding beyond knowing a few lines of java that are utterly useless. I think it is beyond absurd that we players must tweak THEIR bloody files so it works right. this is a huge disappointment

Because it's beta.
You know.. you don't have to do anything for them anyway. No one is forced. PGI suggested NOT to mess with the file but these people do it anyway. ...and they happened to be helping PGI with the report and progress.

However, the way you're asking the question.... twice... is disrespectful.

[BladeXXL]

@Rejarial Galatan
basically noone forced me to do anything...
I did it because I could help a lot of people starting in the closed beta (this is the second thread due a forum-rearangement)

meanwhile there was a lot of performance improvement in the game so I decided not to force this thread to be moved to the actual patch-workaround-forums

[Sasha Volkova]

Am I the only one who suddenly seem to get pre cfg graphic all of a sudden?
Also I did not uninstall, delete or in any other way alter anything, it has happened since the day before yesterday.

[BladeXXL]

no troubles here... I'm still using cfg + patch because of DoF and more stable FPS

[shotokan5]

IT'S a BETA I can tell you they will get it straight on the 19 patch you may see that problem go away, Check your cpu temp and vga temp. It can do the same thing. The textures overload the system and the software crashes the game that is not your computer but a software problem.. Look for the next patch. OK, now where are my extra c bills.

[Sasha Volkova]

Thx for the quick reply Blade! :3
I couldnt find any info about that so I just thought I was screwed xD

it is rather disrespectful of PGI to make it even remotely possible for us to alter the game files. They want the code to remain secure? They want to avoid cheating for as long as possible? This is NOT how to do it. THIS is how we learn how to hack the game. This also, shows us, they A. Have no where NEAR the staff needed to handle a task as monumental as MWO. B. <this is just a guess, but, the way this game is handling and other errors that have been in the game for almost a year as well as other stuff> show they dont know how to truly handle a franchise like this.

To be blunt, we should NOT be able to alter the game ourselves. This is bad security for them, worse for the players.

This game has no content at all. It is basically an over powered robotic version of CoDMW4's TDM or BF3 TDM/SDM. Few maps, constant death matching. They put in a 'place holder' for assault, that now is a bloody feature? Come on, really? They give us no story arc to follow, they delay CW time and time again, with no real expectation of seeing it any time soon.

They claim MWO time is 1 to 1 with Earth, well, guess what. Today is March 15 2013/3050. Know what happens in FIVE DAYS? That's right. CLAN INVASION OF THE INNER SPHERE. Where are the Clans in this game? No where. IF in 5 days on March 20 2013/3050 they get added into the game, I will openly apologize for this post, but if not, well, then, it stands as a testament to mishandling of the franchise. By the way, if this offends players, sorry, but this is hard truth. To PGI: I am deeply sorry if I offended anyone in the company, but, you guys did say time in MWO and earth is 1 to 1 only separated by 1037 years and Canon and Lore implicitly state that 5 days from now the IS gets invaded, and the news blurbs you guys have, already did mention <at the right time too> the abduction of Phelan Kell... While, I honestly expect to see the clans at some point, and fully intend to play as them, its why I am a founder, and have NOT used my clock yet, I wholly expect to NOT see them come up this next week.

This tells: Any modification on game-files (but user.cfg) is not allowed anymore!

The performance difference between stock and modified files shrinks with every new game patch! That shows us: there is a good progress!
Even I still keep using my patch for having more stable FPS, I can't post any downloads or tutorials here... sorry!

this statement does NOT say we cant remove film grain, it says we can not make graphical modifications to gain an unfair tactical advantage, removal of film grain does not give you a tactical advantage... increasing draw distance would for example, but what you decide to modify is a vast grey area at the moment.

the moderator that removed the link to the patch was incorrect to do so as the patch did not modify any file...
they do not support doing certain things, but as long as you do not mess with the files they put on your system via the installer then you have not, by defintion, modified anything.... true story.

P.S. removal of filmgrain gives alot of FPS back.. "good progress" IMO would be to give us a simple toggle to remove the filmgrain, thats about a five minute fix right there that would show HUGE progress... and last patch dropped everyones FPS, so no i wouldnt say they are making good progress.
