Here are my config files which have my game playing perfect

[hc_wolf]

OK, so many people complaining about sound and other things. Here are working almost normal config files. Replace your own and try if you like.



put them in this folder NOT steam.

Well some people don't have your top end rig. That may explain some complaints about sound and other things

I'll give it a try anyway (although 95 percent of all important figures are the same in my config) and don't have much reason for complaining either. Thx.

Unless you have a similar system I wouldn't replace your own conf ini.. it will alter your graphics settings certainly to a higher state than I have mine set on at the moment.

Backup of everyone's original config helps a lot

[Trooper117]

Absolutely.. I always back up all my game files.. but there will be many that don't..

He is running with a screen res of 1920x1080. That is 230,400 fewer pixels to process than my 1920 x 1200. That can make a significant difference in performance.

[335th_GRAthos]

With a 580GTX 3GB he can run it even without config.ini, he will not notice any difference

Nice rig!

Also didnt someone discover that :
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8

should really be :
DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16

I have definately had a way better performance increase with the above change.

Water is -1 because the current water is a place holder of the true "next-gen" water that is not in game now, so nothing will change if you tweak the number.

The real water that is coming when the engine gets fixed is said to be transparent and have waves, maybe models reflection too.

Also, there no exist a 16 Stencil buffer, The Stencil buffer is a extra buffer used to calculate some graphics effects and to have a 8 bits of Stencil buffer you need set your Depth buffer to 24.

So nothing will change if you tweak this numbers, the only valid value is Depth=32 and Stencil=0 but seems have no effect either.
