How To? ...

Get more fps in ET? Ive started using my old pc again to play et due to damaging my laptop. I use to get around 80 fps but now getting 40 :/


1. Im already using a high fps config (modus). Are there any better ones out there?

2. Would formatting actually improve fps?

3. Whats the lowest r_customheight/width can you use that makes et still playable?

4. Is there anything else?

thx in advance

1. make your own by googling for the commands
2. yes, more stuff on your pc increases the load on your cpu which is a factor of FPS
3. 480*640
4. if u use nvidia card use aTuner and get a program called gameprofile, it disables some unnecessary windows processes without having to reboot.

Also i recommend you to tweak your windows to the max (Trimmadriden by RaZiel is pretty good)

EDIT:GAMEPROFILE

ye that gameprofile program: there are some standard unnecessary windows services already in the config, add any crap you want disabled while playing;

Then when u want to play: run gameprofile, when done, press the stop button or smth

when i had a bad pc those 2 programs gave me around 10 fps more + more stable

have fun with it :o)
