Tweaking Your BC2

Hey guys, Fryzee here. For all you fellow members out there that love tweaking with your settings as much as i do here are some cool things you can change for better performance or better visuals. I max everything out on my comp and looks amazing, but for my laptop i lowered some things.

For an estimated fps boost go to:
- Documents>BFBC2Beta and open up "settings.ini"
- Change "renderaheadlimit" to 0 instead of 2

For a reported giant general performance boost:
- Documents>BFBC2Beta and open up "settings.ini"
- Change "Bloom=true" to false

For another potentially big performance update (especially with Quad Core users):
- Documents>BFBC2Beta and open up "settings"
- Change "HSAO=true" to false (also settable in the in-game "advanced" graphics settings)

Other settings.ini changes that you can try:
- Undergrowth=”medium” – Put this to low, if experiencing frame-rate issues. This map has a lot of it.
- Water=”medium” - Not really any water to traverse in this map, go ahead and set this to low.
- MSAA=”2″ - This is Anti-aliasing, this will always use up a lot of a gpx cards resources. Set this to “0″
- Shadows=”medium”- you can also set this to low to improve performance
- Textures=”medium”- Setting this to low can improve FPS at the cost of visual eye candy.
- Aniso=2 - Set this to 0 to disable Anisotropic filtering.

To fix sticky controls (for those who get key shadow/lag with wasd etc):
- Delete the joystick conrols under foot (options->controls->foot), then it works fine

To run DX9 for improved performance (this also stops random crashes for some people):
- Documents>BFBC2Beta and open up "settings"
- Add "DxVersion=dx9" to the list

Hope this helps some people.

Wow... Nice list, hope you didn't just copy off the web though

most is from personal experience with playing round with beta

Wow you really play around with files lol
