[Tuning] So frustrated, please help!

[CaptRanger]

I'm literally pulling my hair trying to find a reasonable video configuration (resolution, texture, detail levels, etc). I think I've tried every combo, but hopefully a tech guru type can show me the errors in my ways. I just can't get the game to average anything above 30 FPS without looking like things were drawn with crayons! Plus, I get micro-freezes/dips well below 20 FPS. Please help!

Specs:
OS: Vista 7 64 Bit
Processor: Intel Quad Core Q9300 2.5 GHz (latest drivers)
RAM: 6 GB
Graphics card: NVIDIA

After the patch, my performance was still low. What helped me was to delete the ROEngine.ini file and let the game create a new one.

You might give that a shot.

I'll give that a shot when I get time to play next. How much of a boost did you get? Thanks

Yes, but I see many people run the game very smoothly on high settings. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar system to mine and could give advice about settings that work for them. I'm not trying to knock TW or the game they made.

I went from running 15-30FPS with everything turned on Medium and the eye candy off to running 35-60 with everything on high and all the eye candy on. But other than pure FPS, everything just felt smoother.

Worth a try.

Turn all in medium, not too much resolution (1440?)
and in roengine.ini:

Bloom=False
bAllowLightShafts=False
LensFlares=False
FogVolumes=False
AdaptiveBloom=False
AllowMLAA=False
AllowFXAA=False
and DynamicsShadow=False, evantualy

Do a backup, just in case
