You Are Doing Something Wrong

Category: Asides, Vanguard

Ryan over at Plaguelands has reposted a set of Vanguard tweaks, to get the optimal experience out of the Vanguard Beta. A sample:

  1. Go to: [install drive]:\ProgramFiles\Sony\Vanguard\bin\vgclient.ini
  2. Open it using notepad and make the following changes:
  3. AnisotropicFiltering=off (which supposedly works for NVidia folks VERY well) Side Note: ALSO go into your card’s propertied and change this there as well
  4. UseJoystick=False (I don’t know why but this did give me an extra 3-5 FPS)
  5. UsePrecaching=True (For NVidia folks and some ATI folks, this is the holy grail)
  6. UseTrilinear=False (For some folks this was an incredible boost)
  7. UseCubemaps=False (I only noticed an ugly load screen, the game still looks fine to me)

I think it’s cool that Mort and Ryan are helping gamers to get the most out of the Beta.

…

The fact that a Massive game needs shit like “TURN OFF Hardware Occulsion while in the field and TURN IT BACK ON in town. The FPS gain in the field (for me) is close to 10!!!” relayed BY ITS PLAYERS speaks volumes about the playability of a game. This isn’t Beta anymore folks, this load is going live at the end of the month. Booo! Boooo!
