Default ATTENTION ATI OWNERS, ULTIMATE WORKAROUND

I got this from another forum and it works. Still can only use 1024 and get about 50fps but its close. I can use my aa/af with settings at medium.

After lots of settings comparisons... I'm now running the game @ 1280x960 2xAA, 4xAF w/ only the text blur as an issue of the AA and AF, and running the game at a good framerate at the expense of some eye candy.

I've posted about AA and AF a few times already and enabling AA will yeild a strange glitch/flicker.

AA fix: disable Shadows. :lol:


Enabling AF will produce pixelation on some textures.

AF fix: Download RadLinker and use Forced AF through RadLinker settings.

The only ingame setting that makes a huge impact in peformance is, the Graphics Quality setting. As you can see from these screenshots the only difference between Medium and High/Highest is some bumped map textures and that's the eye candy causes the drop in performance. High and Highest are visually the same.

Notice the difference in frame rate.
Medium
High
Highest

Notice that only the texture of the Hut is affected by Medium and High/Highest. The vehicle still has the same look.
Medium
High
Highest

And more screenshots to show the visual/peformance difference between Medium and High/Highest
Medium
High
Highest

The Player models, weapon models, water, trees, vehicles and the vechicles' cockpits all retain the same look between Medium and High/Highest for the Graphics Quallity setting. Yea, I know we shouldn't have to do all these "work-arounds", but until we get a patch... there's isn't much else we can do.

I like the game alot and it's really fun, atleast when I can find a good lag-free server, which is almost a game itself. [/b]

Here are some screenshots I took after doing all this. I was getting 50fps with just me wandering around. Sure looks a lot better but would rather be at my 1280 res with max everything and getting 100fps. But its getting there. Cmon patch. Now the screenshots:
