Help solve the Frame Rate issues.

It's a glitch in the optimisation system that they tried to bring in before, but they later removed due to a big glitch with it. The re-intorduction of the system caused the stuttering (Everyone wants to call it a framerate issue). Basically it tried to reduce the amount of stuff rendered at once, you can see this in action by warping around the sanctuary and watching it have to load before you arrive in the next place. Before the re-introduction of the system it didn't have to do the level load.

Although I do not recommend changing the file, I have to say it did work for me and I will not be changing it back until SOE relise that this system is causing it and do something to resolve it.

One of the problems that I have seen and posted about on the OF(but never got a response) is the Machine.ini and engine3d_perf.ini. There are a few settings in there that if I change stops the problems I am having.

The problems with this is the Machine.ini randomly changes back all my settings and I have to start the patcher before I change the engine3d_perf.ini otherwise it "patches" it back. I realize they change/add settings in these at patches and I can handle looking into these at those times but I have to check these EVERY time I log on. Otherwise, I have sever issues.

In the machine.ini: the use_background_thread which utilizes hyperthreading on my P4 randomly turns off and there is a max textures setting also that keeps change from 128 to 32 which, with all the textures in PS when you turn of high res and everything on, causes sever frame rate issues on the best cards.

In the engine3d_perf.ini there is a few settings that I change but the 1st on in there is the most important. This setting causes your pc to render things you don't see for "better performace". Nvidia cards work so well because they DO NOT render what you don't see. So, when you force a card that is designed to render ony what you see, to render everything around (including the zerg in the base) it tends to tank.

So bottom line is I have no problem changes these things after a patch because I know they have to change. Please tell me why I change my INI files and they randomly change back. My request to fix my frame rate: QUIT TOUCHING MY INI FILES!!!!!

I can't post my dxdiag anymore on the OF. They closed the thread.
