How to fix your low FPS!

There are many solutions and I'm going to post each of mine that works.
Things you should know...
I have a Windows 7, 64 Bit, Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.2 GHz with 2 GB of ram and I can run APB Fine.

SOLUTION #1 : VIRTUAL RAM

Go to Start -> Right Click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Performance Settings.
Select Adjust for Best Performance. Go to the Advanced Tab and Under Virtual Memory select Change. Select Custom Size and adjust the setting according to the size of your current available hard drive space that you want for Virtual Memory. Currently I have mine set to 10000 - 10000. Once finished select Set and you should be prompted to Restart. Even if you aren't RESTART.

SOLUTION #1 PART #2 : ACTUAL RAM

Self explanatory get some more RAM!

SOLUTION #2 : BEST LOWEST SETTINGS

Go to the directory...
x64 Bit:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config"

x32 / x84 Bit:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\GamersFirst\APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config"

Open "APBCompat.ini" using NotePad ++.
Press CTRL+F and type

Code:

[AppCompatBucket1]

and then select Find Next.
Now select everything from VideoQuality=1 to ShadowVolumePrimitiveScreenSpacePercentageThreshol d=0.25 .

and then select Find Next.
Now select everything from [AppHWConstraintsBucket1] to the end of the file.
Copy everything below and replace the selected area:

Code:

MaxFreeMemoryUsedByVBPool=20971520
MaxFreeMemoryUsedByIBPool=5242880

Now go to the directory...
x64 Bit:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\APB Reloaded\Binaries"

x32 / x84 Bit:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\GamersFirst\APB Reloaded\Binaries"

Right click APB.exe -> Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut) . ALWAYS USE THIS SHORTCUT. Bucket 1 is minimal so in-game press O -> Video Settings and set it to Minimal. Then select the Advanced tab and make sure everything is off and at the lowest possible setting. Every 2 weeks or if you get a file error make a backup of the APBCombat.ini and run the loader to update, then replace the APBCombat.ini again.

SOLUTION #3 : BOOST YOUR PC

Do what ever it takes. Download everything from
Advanced System Care

to GameBooster

.
If possible even overclock your PC, but I'm never responsible for anything

If you liked my Guide and it worked, thank me.
Credits and props go out to Google.
If it didn't work for you, too bad, thank me anyways.
Oh and if your reading this as a Moderator, sticky.

If you have Windows 7, I believe that you can go high in virtual ram. You shouldn't go over 10 GB, 10,000 is good enough, and Advanced System Care comes with a Tool called Smart RAM that cleans ram automatically, and I found another way of making it faster, but I really don't know if it will work so I'm going to try it:

In the second bucket edit replace:

Code:

bCompressNormalTextures=true

with

Code:

bCompressNormalTextures=false

I'll get back to you guys on that.

Mine says Total Paging size for all drives: 4095. So to get better performance what should I change it too?

EDIT: says recommended is 6130 so I changed to that

It all depends on how much you want if recommended is 6130 then go for it.

I dont mean to bust in and all but all these files are reverted back to default on game start up.Will work 1 time then reset on next start up you need to repeat process..

You didnt teach them to disable any startup stuff that loads with pc (using resources the game could.)

Game booster can <u>defrag</u> your game file which I think is one of its most important features and should be done every patch it also can disable features to free up ram on a non optimized system. However after running this boost process it will be running in your sytem tray and the only way to close it is cntrl+alt+delete.

Advanced system care is a resource user after installation it auto starts with your computer. You can configure it not to which also should have been mentioned..

You could also click start click run or type in the search bar MSCONFIG and press enter then go to the services tab and disable all the bs start up processes.. freeing up more ram then Game Booster ever could.

Also you could in that same run/search bar type SERVICES.MSC and put all updaters for ever program in your pc on manual. Among other things change all the things Gamebooster disables to manual so you dont need game booster for anything but a defrag..

Also you said get more ram but you didnt tell them to check and make sure thier bios is set up for upgrades I personally would be pist if I bought 4 extra gigs of ram and found out I couldnt use it because my bios cant be updated unless I write a new one myself..When that bios alarm goes off its over buddy..

I personally dont like your guide.. However the ability to edit the ini. files is useful just doing it every start up blows.. and I dont know just makes you feel not so clean like banging a broad that smells like douche ya know..

I suggest a new computer all the games being released in next 2-3 years are going to be 4 core or more support only time to wake up and get in the fast lane..

Recomended

quad core 3.0 ghz or higher per core (6-8 core better)
4-16 gigs of ram (8-16 better) (with ram coolers)
Nvida 500 + series graphics CARD not chip set (the higher the better)
4-6 fans or liquid coolant.
Terabyte network card
64 bit Plus systems only

Should cost you 800-950 on ebay good luck..

Edit also if you think this is exspensive- The 100's hours you spend trying to edit configuration files, and money you spend buying new parts, gcards, ect to play your games you could use working towards that money.. Not to mention the 100's of hours you waste playing your games..

he said that you have tu make a bacup of the modded file, so after the start up of the launcher and befor clicking the start button, overwrite the ini with the modded and finished the pain^^

i have:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
6144MB RAM
DirectX 11
Nvidia GeForce GT 540M

this is good???

or you can get my build...
Linux primary, w7 gaming
2600k @ 5.3ghz
8gb ram @ 2000mhz
2x 590
6TB HDD with 128GB boot
come at me fred...

2600k will run a small university... the thing is a beast. jsut wait till IB comes out this fall...
my rig is massivly OP even for serious gaming, lol... i host servers so virtual threads dont get lonely...
now go verify your account

and u can get mine

Intel Xeon Processor X5680 3.6 GHz
EVGA 5520 Classified SuperRecord-2
Corsair Dominator DHX DDR3 1333MHz 24GB
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W PSU
Corsair SSD Force Series™ GT 120GB = 2X
Western Digital AV-GP 3TB = 2X
PowerColor Radeon HD 6990 4GB GDDR5 = 2X

That is my main computer that i dont use alot anymore cuz i use it more for dreamhack and lan

If you had a computer That wasnt of peice of crap you wouldnt lag now would you?

Now server sided Lag, Cannot be helped Only thing that would do anything is too yell at gamersfirst Community and flame about the lag.

Wow u can play on win 7 with 2gb ram WTF
i have in apb RTW beta
1GB GDDR 5
Dual Core 3ghz
win7 64bit
