Image quality and performance issues

 

Just to find some solutions to existing performance issues on machines that should run the mod fine

 

you should be able to turn up every setting in the game to max (1600x1200 res with 2x or 4x anti aliasing and 16x ansiotropic filtering) on mostly any new computer (nvidia 7xxx/8xxx radeon 3xxx series and a dual core processor)

 

for nvidia you need to have the 163.75 drivers or older, the newer drivers have an issue with displaying asteroids and explosion effects

 

the beta 169.28 drivers and omega drivers do not fix this problem

 

 

if you get stuttering in the game with a dual core machine and have an nvidia card, try turning threaded optimization off in the HW2 specific profile in the nvidia control panel, this helped me a lot for some reason.

 

as always make sure you aren't running anything in the background and keep you machine spyware free

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you get stuttering

Well have you tried NGO drivers, i use vista with SP2 and the latest ngo drivers and have no problems whatso ever
