This is a small guide that got some general tweaks combined together:
Some times you need to change some setting in config files these can be found in:
mydocuments\mygames\redorchestra2\rogame\config
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FPS Performance tweaks:
Before starting with any tweaking of things make sure of the following:
If you have Crossfire/dual GPU card:
Disable Crossfire/Catalyst AI or use RadeonPro http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=2121606
You can also tell AMD about performance issues with crossfire: http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D27E29B0E3
In case you want to increase your fps its best to start with lowering the things that take up the most fps.
In the graphical options:
Mouse responsiveness tweaks.
in ROEngine.ini make sure that:
For full control over these settings you might need ATI Tray tools for ATI and Rivatuner for Nvidia

Change the amount of zoom that you have in Ironsights.
open ROgame.ini
scroll down to the section:
[ROGame.ROPlayerController]
there you will find
IronSightZoomScaleSMG=1.000000
IronSightZoomScaleRifle=1.000000
IronSightZoomScaleBipod=1.000000
Here 1 means maximum zoom and 0 means no zoom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Force a higher fov
Navigate to C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config
Open the RoGame.ini file with a text editor
CTRL+F "PlayerFOV" without quotes
Set the FOV at desired amount then save the file
Right Click on RoGame.ini and go to properties
Set the file as read only with the checkbox
You now have working FOV, this will revert if you open any settings when you are in game.

Key config binds
Note: When you want to manually bind a key make sure it is not bound in the regular binding menu, otherwise whatever function it is bound to will dissapear in the key configuration settings.
replace the xxx with your desired button.
Note: mouse buttons are: leftmousebutton, rightmousebutton, middlemousebutton, thumbmousebutton, thumbmousebutton2
you open the console with ~ or

FPS Performance tweaks:
Before starting with any tweaking of things make sure of the following:
- If you participated in the beta make sure all config files are deleted before starting the game for the first time.
- Make sure you have verified the integrity of the game cache through steam. open steam -> library -> right click redorchestra2 -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of the game cache.
- If you have a regular harddisc make sure your harddisc is properly defragmented (personally I recommend perfectdisc defragment both your gaming as windows disc and do an offline defragmentation).
- Make sure you are running on the latest revision of directx from microsoft and running on the latest videocard drivers.
If you have Crossfire/dual GPU card:

In case you want to increase your fps its best to start with lowering the things that take up the most fps.
In the graphical options:
- Disable the tick options like lightrays blur and bloom
- Set the shadow settings lower (big performance impact, small visual impact)
- Set World Detail to Low (reasonable performance impact, but HUGE loss in graphics, in general the top 3 sliders affect graphical influence the most while at relatively low performance costs).
- Set the lightning settings lower (pretty big performance impact, small visual impact)
- Disable the steam community (gives up to +20 fps for some people)
- Play around with the occlusion level for different people different settings yield better results.
- When running on an AMD/ATI videocard make sure you disable "Hardware PhysX"
- in ROEngine.ini setting bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True can have good performance boost, although can occasionally give a slight stutter when something is being cached.
Mouse responsiveness tweaks.
in ROEngine.ini make sure that:
- OneFrameThreadLag is disabled (this will lower fps, however it makes your game more responsive as your frames do not lag a whole frame behind. As long as it does not make your fps lower than half your fps It will increase mouse responsiveness. With it enabled 60fps feels like 30fps, and 30fps feels like 15fps )
- Vsync is disabled
- bViewAccelerationEnabled=FALSE
- Set max frames to render ahead as low as possible (Nvidia)
- Set flip queue size as low as possible (ATI).
- Disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) essentially makes your pc slightly less precise but much faster in CPU bound games. (Google it for more info, its often OFF by default on a lot of motherboards).
For full control over these settings you might need ATI Tray tools for ATI and Rivatuner for Nvidia
