Here's a couple of things i've tested out on a 6800GT (pci-e, 256mb) that seem to have improved performance. Naturally, you should ALWAYS backup the files before you modify them.
Remove Intro Movies:
Go HERE, download and apply
Game Settings:
-
Rename the 2 files in \Engine\Shaders\HLSL\StaticProjectShadow\
-
Open ..\Engine\Shaders\HLSL\MegaPostProcess\Blur.hlsl in Notepad and change the line that reads:
return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor) + BloomColor;
to:
return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor);
-
Open ..\KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini in Notepad and change the following lines to the settings listed
UseTrilinear=False
LevelOfAnisotropy=2
( or you could use True & 1, just test and see what works best for you)
UserMaxTextureSize=2048
ShadowBufferResolution=512
(Shadow resolution. Will look blocky but your framerate will improve.)
ShadowBufferResolution=512
MaxShadowResolution=512
MinShadowResolution=16
BlurBufferResolutionDivisor=1 // 1 = Low, 2 = Med, 3 = High
MinStreamedInMips=64
MaxStreamedInMips=128
(Or try 128/512 if you like. Test to see what works best for you)
-
Open ..\Engine\Shaders\HLSL\ShadowDepthTest.hlsl in Notepad and change
clip( (0.5f - SceneDepthValue.b) * NeedStencilTest );
to:
//clip( (0.5f - SceneDepthValue.b) * NeedStencilTest );
This line actually occurs 3 times in the file. But, the one you'll be concerned with is the one in either the nvPixelShader or atiPixelShader function depending on whether you have a Nvidia or ATI card.
-
Open ..\Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini in notepad and change
MinStreamedInMips=6
MaxStreamedInMips=14
Change to:
MinStreamedInMips=64
MaxStreamedInMips=128
(Or try 128/512 if you like. Test to see whatworks best for you)
BlurBufferResolutionDivisor=1 // 1 = Low, 2 = Med, 3 = High
Sound Tweaks:
(I haven't tried these as yet, but thought I'd post what I'd found so some of you can try them out)
-
Open.. \KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini in Notepad
Find
[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]
MaxChannels=32
TimeBetweenHWUpdates=15
change to
[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]
MaxChannels=64
TimeBetweenHWUpdates=10
-
Open ..\Binaries\DARE.ini in Notepad
