How to fix your low FPS!

[vdevilmaycry]

Nice one. theres also a lot of Solutions. thanks you for this post, a lot of people are suffering from this problem, and they needed it.

[RedKoolAid]

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:

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

x32 / x84 Bit:

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

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

[AppCompatBucket1]

and then select Find Next.
Now select everything from VideoQuality=1 to ShadowVolumePrimitiveScreenSpacePercentageThreshol d=0.25 .
Copy everything below and replace the selected area:

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

MaxFreeMemoryUsedByVBPool=20971520
MaxFreeMemoryUsedByIBPool=5242880

Now go to the directory...
x64 Bit:

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

x32 / x84 Bit:

"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 [IMG]https://www****bi*****m/tpl/img/screenshot/ascfree/1.png[/IMG]
to GameBooster [IMG]https://www****bi*****m/tpl/img/screenshot/gb/6.png[/IMG].
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.

I think you run it fine because of your CPU, I have 8 GB RAM but a 1.9 ghz CPU (I'm on a laptop) so that makes it worse and my graphics card, but i still seems to do good with 30-50 fps not doing anything 20-30 fps driving and 30 to 20 are lower in combat On a different note. Some people just suck A lot..

[kristykissy]

I'll try this out but there's also been a lot of server lag lately. So even if you can get a good FPS rate the lag will fail you lol

[spiritus]
