TL;DR version (as wished): go and play tetris! fin!
The Topic title and following passage is outdated within the new Terms of Use.
Spoiler
Colonel Pada Vinson asked me to add the link to his actual config site... so here it is:
[REDACATED]
UPDATE Nov. 19th:
Seems the Nov. 6th patch killed the workaround within [redacted] once more.
So the patched files became obligatory again for full override of engine settings via user.cfg!
UPDATE Dec. 18th:
- A lot performance improvement ... especial CPU usage
- Patch still needed
- Shadows can be disabled via standard Shadow bar by moving to low
I would recommend to remain with the standard option possibilities, if the game is playable for you. Devs are working on performance tweaks and need proper feedback!
So give the game-standard a chance after each new patch!
[REDACTED]
The file can be downloaded from this thread only. :-)
If it does not work, try an other browser (don't copy-paste! you have to click!).
Also try with holding down Ctrl key (= new tab)!
Unzip the contents in the folder "MechWarrior OnlineEngine" so you get the following path at the end:
"MechWarrior OnlineEngineConfigCVarGroups_MWO"
That's it! From now all cvars in the user.cfg will work. If not, please post here - I can surely explain the reason! :-)
Caution: herewith all "system specifications" regulators in the options menu become ineffective (excluding motion blur and MSAA). So every cvar must be put in user.cfg otherwise the cvars defaults will affect. Also calls of sys_spec_* = x do not work any more (except sys_spec_Physics - these should not be changed anyway).
To go back to original game settings, just delete the "Config" folder from "MechWarrior OnlineEngine"
Do this after the new patch to see if the devs have reached any improvement.

I give no promises for the configs... if one of them works for you: fine ... if not: tough
With DX11 (some day...) this configs will be outdated ... but I hope some clever guys will fix it asap! :-)
Remember to clean/delete the Cache folder, if you make huge changes to your user.cfg!!!

Still low FPS?
Reduce your resolution:
set 1280 or something around - that's enough for seeing all details.
Give the game a higher CPU priority:
open task manager and apply "high" to MWOClient.exe (if you get a error message about admin rights, so you have to show all users processes in task manager first)
The easy way for Windows Vista + 7 + 8 (NOT TESTED ON XP!):
Download and run this registry file: mwo_high_prio.reg (Mirror: mirror)
This makes MWOClient.exe run with high priority by default.
Stay with standard and try to find the bottleneck of your system:
Install MSI Afterburner (just for OSD Server) and HardwareMonitor (http://www.hwinfo.com)
Configure (use g00gle) them to monitor CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM usage in game.
Your VRAM usage should not go over 90% (close to 100% will limit your GPU usage!) ... also avoid to low usage (waste of resources). The texture slide bar (advanced options menu) affects directly to VRAM usage!
Your CPU usage should not go over 90%... Reduce some sys_specs if it does (advanced optiions)
If your GPU usage is 99%, that's OK - so you have no other bottleneck! If a lot below, so something else is limiting - need to dig a little deeper.

Have fun!
