I am currently running the second lowest resolution, and except for the settings on your ini, everything on medium, with bloom turned off.
The cause of RedOctoberFactory and Barracks crashes

For anyone still interested, i spent another evening messing around with the ini. This time trying to improve performance, and stuttering/hitching. With this I've never dropped below 50fps in any map with 64 players, and more importantly the whole game doesnt stutter when you look around or move. Smoke grenades and artillery can still mess up the framerate though. (I've got a 460GTX for those wondering)
Use it as before, backup the old ini, replace it with this, set shadows to low and textures to medium.

Different for every OS but for me its "My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ROGame\Config"
Try to find the My Games folder basically.
Config file worked for me yesterday - launched the game today, and can't load maps - crashes once I get in just as the 'Connecting' message is about to disappear and the MOTD displayed.
Slowly losing patience with the beta - may shelf it until release day

Yeah, I'd like to know when the patch is coming as well, but TWI isn't talking about it.
I even posted in general discussion when/if anyone had heard when the next patch is coming, but the moderators deleted it twice!
6 days left, and we aren't talking about game saving patches LOL.
This game is going to crash and burn with reviewers. 7/10 if their lucky.
You can try increasing the shadow quality if you want, the texture/shadow settings are mostly safety measures to prevent memory crashes.
I tried this because I was crashing on both maps (mainly as soon as artillery hit).
I could run Grain Elevator fine, not a single crash on it.
Since I changed my ini I got crashing now all over the place. Usually as soon as a map loads it crashes, or if I click disconnect it has crashed now.
I even went back, replaced the ini I changed with my original one, and now it's crashing as well on Grain elevator.
Not sure what is making it do that now.

I just upped my shadows from Low to Medium and it didn't crash on map-load after 5 crashes in a row.
For 64 players with arty causing lag, on top of what throumbas has done well here, I recommend the following changes to your ROEngine.ini:
Code:
[Engine.ISVHacks]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
[LiveSock]
DefaultRecvBufsizeInK=128
DefaultSendBufsizeInK=128
