ExitiumMachina Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 You can find quite a few different mods and tweaks here: http://www.lockonfiles.com/ I'm sure you already know that though, go to the FPS tweaks section of the Lock On mods and they have quite a few tweaks for frames if that is what you are looking for, to get the best performance out of the game you have to pretty much play around with graphic settings until you get smooth gameplay. Lock On CFG which is available here: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=170&lid=514&title=LOCFG%20Tweak%20App%20v2.2#dldetails is helpful as well.

Unless someone can provide info and proof as to how this will actually help performance or anything else, I wouldn't worry about to too much.
Boberro Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I read on forum long time ago (IIRC dev post) that changing to nv4disp.dll instead dxrenderer.dll doesn't help anything. It would help but many, many years ago, but not since approx FC release times. I use few mods and I create my own if there is no any which I would like to have, example I suggest these mods: water by Hawg11 - almost same water quality like on medium-high, but without any FPS lost. Of course you don't get reflections, but water still is beautiful, for me; LO terrain as you installed; overcast mod - I use it cos clouds in LO are FPS disaster; Clouds mod - they look more "puffy" smoke mod - you get "puffy" smoke, great mod btw; weather mod - you select fav colors (cold, warm ect) and sky will look colder or warmer. I like and use gray theme; dust smoke remove - I had to delete smoke files to get stable FPS; Explosion pack - saves your FPS and still looks normal; flare mod - reverts flare look to basic, but you can drop 100 flares and there is no FPS hit like in normal situation; HUD font mod - as I play in high resolution I had to get clearer font and HUD view; High Performance RvE soundpack - one of the best if not soundpacks for LO (IMHO), great job RvE! and IMHO most important FPS Tweak 2.0G4 or newer, it is a must, basic mod which helps you get higher FPS and fixes few things in LO, I suggest install it first then rest; if u get shuttering during cannon attacks like me, remove cannon files (ground0.ogg i water0.ogg) and smoke files (*.pfx) This is all what I remember :P Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies.

Szelma Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 For best performance you need only C2D E8400 3.0 @ 3.6 oced
hannibal Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 sounds good to me... i have an E8500.. do you think its worth it for me to go to windows 7? find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Boberro Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 If u have good CPU and low RAM and low GPU it is not worth. You must just have strong PC to think about Windows 7 migration and comfortable - very - play. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

hannibal Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 im running XP x64, @ 1680x2100 (2x wides vertically stacked) so far, the fps has been not so good, then i havent really optimized it either... im hopin that Windows 7 can help improve ALOT.. should i go with newest geforce drivers also on LOCKON? i know new drivers ran black shark not so good, so i stayed away from 190.xx drivers as per friend recommendation... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179

I use 180.84 drivers and they work well, mine is a step up with the 9800GT with 1Gb memory. Virtually the same performance wise to the 8800GT, so your card is probably a bit lower performance wise but shouldn't get a large hit with FPS. Waiting on my water cooler so I can pop in my 260GTX H2OC.:matrix:
