Well i have acces to Crysis 3 alpha test so I can give you guys acc to test out cvars on that game(same engine) but i think it already runs on DX11 so it will not be so helpful :s .
But ure right we need some kind of benchmark or just sandbox mode where we can test out .cfg file and mech...and devs should stop to lock on ours config options(i mean locked .xml values :x .

I wonder if you might be right. I seem to get better visuals & fps seem equal with PGI low vs my custom user.cfg file, custom file seems glitchy.
we really need a smart efficient way to plug values from the custom user.cfg file to nail down better graphics & visuals with quality performance if indeed this is causing us problems.

sys_spec_Shadows.cfg that I compiled from yours is outdated too after latest serverside fixes it caused slight fps drops so i switched back to user.cfg, still I must use BladeXXL's sys_spec_Shadows.cfg to turn Shadows off.
I believe its Postprocessing screwing some graphic commands. If I turn HDR off its all dark and unplayable with lowest fps. When I put into user.cfg edited engine's low settings for postprocessing along with other commands 1 man experienced constant startup crashes, and I got 1 crash too. So now I deleted sys_spec_PostProcessing.cfg until next patch, and deleted all PostProcessing commands except this part :
;-----------PostProcessing
r_DepthOfField = 0
r_HDRGrainAmount = 0
r_MotionBlurMaxViewDist = 0

Can't get more than 25 fps in action no matter what.

BladeXXL, i think you just made my week!

I still havent finished tweaking the setup and i went through some interesting phases getting the hang of it but i have decent to fair FPS again!
I have been one of those unfortunates that suffered ever decreasing FPS as the patches came and went and i was ready to call it quits for a while there...

But i have seen the light! (actually i managed to turn it OFF in the settings, that was interesting to try and play with all lightsources off)
Ill post my spec here if i find it decent enough for public use.

Good to hear Varjen ;)

I've updated my Hi-End config in the topic, finally finding the reason for the crushed looking buildings (especially on River City)
It was the missing e_LodRatio = 20 ... no idea when I lost it... but now everything is fine! :P

...looking forward for the upcoming patch...

Are there any cvars regarding the hud? Because it's hogging my fps. I tried all the tweaks in the thread and the only thing that helps for me is turning off the hud, which is weird.

OK I was doing some tweaks to my user.cfg...and for some reason now I can't run task manager without shutting my game down. So I can't switch it to run the mwo.exe file in realtime...I have the regedit for high priority, but realtime seems to work better....can't hit control alt del now without shutting my game down....i used to be able to even after I installed the regedit thing so I don't think that is the cause. I even reinstalled the entire game and am running stock files....still can't cntrl alt del without shutting entire game down.

Any ideas?

@Onyx Rain:
Realtime? really? Undo that! You ask for support for things that are NOT provided here - devs don't like threads making trouble. Think about it!

Idea: Delete the Cache and CVarGroups_MWO folder!

Somehow I fixed it....why not realtime? Seems to work better then High for me. I asked here because it happened while tweaking user.cfg. Making trouble?

</p>

For me - it did! I had delays and interrupts in TS3. There is no need for realtime, if no other process forces a higher priority! If you have other over normal prio processes... you should close them before gaming.

Are you just trolling?
...or can you tell me which config you'd put into your user.cfg (low, hi, Yaros, your own?) ...

Love such guys... ^^

Your fps zreezing because its cfg for older patch, its outdated.
I have patch that works for old Dual-core CPU just fine. All you need is backup your user.cfg then unpack archive to MechWarrior Online\ and set settings to Low :

Is there any particolar user.cfg mod that will make less painfull and FPS dropping the sound stuttering buzzing problems many of us have ? Any variable or set of instruction to make it at least less annoying (as well as disable betty maybe ?) thank you for the support.

high.
Somethings im just a moron at. I got my user config back up.. tnks blade. I just created the file again, but Im using the low end one from the first page I believe. I was looking through it this morning and I still have shadows which are a resource hog.
Is that config an old one too?
Is there something different about the latest patches when you add user config?
attributes is set to 0 correct?
Sys spec is set to 0 correct.?
Is that it. ?

Ill make a more detailed post later, but all I really want to do is turn off shadows. Something I cant believe isnt done with regular sliders.
I suspect i am... running the user config and the game just runs poorly now.
I get max fps sometimes +60. but any flick of the mouse and it instantly drops in the red.
