Dont overclock ram, thats pretty much useless and will only add instability if done wrong.
AA affects performance, but as you have 970, then obviously its not a problem, but people with weak GPUs will suffer a lot.
I also dont believe that "Maximum pre rendered frames" helped me any time, but I didn't test it in coh, so maybe try ONLY this.
Do not use CCleaner, only if you know what you are doing, but dont use its registry tool at all if youre Win7 or higher.
I pretty much agree with - have good CPU, have high CPU clock, have a good GPU, have 8+GB RAM, use SSD if you can.
Performance varies also with map, AI, opponent numbers.
Also if you check before running coh, that your CPU is pretty much idling on low freq with 0-10% used, that is fine and you dont need to shut down anything or do whatever shamanic rituals with so called optimizers etc. Also don't use shitty antiviruses.
Yea i like the square 4:3 monitor better at least for work but a wide monitor would probably help out in games since i can see more stuff. The old monitor could cause my lag, i thought about it and i tried my brother's wide monitor and the lag is still there
Yes about RAM you are right, you have to have good motherboard and good ram to be able to have a stable OC. I mentioned maybe someone with good mobo and ram can oc it more and tell us if he saw any difference, i didnt. Maybe i made a mistake suggestion RAM OC, people might get it wrong thinking that ALL the tweaks are needed in order to get 60fps gameplay, no, every suggestion is optional.
I just showed what setting I USE, i didn't recommended my settings to everyone because only these settings will give you a lag free experience. Of course people with weak GPUs will have to tweak their own settings until they find the sweet spot, the best quality/performance ratio.
I tried to record with fraps the difference for me with Maximum pre rendered frames off vs set to 1 but fraps seems to not catch the stutter, maybe i will try with other rec software. For me it makes a HUGE difference, it's very choppy even from the start of the game with no units on the field.
I don't know what you see wrong with ccleaner, it's one of the most popular cleaning tools out there, i don't stress on ccleaner as being a must, i just gave an example of a cleaning tool, you can use whatever tool you want, the point was to have a CLEAN computer as after fresh windows install, and for people who don't know how to reinstall windows or don't want to, these cleaning software might help.
"I pretty much agree with - have good CPU, have high CPU clock, have a good GPU, have 8+GB RAM, use SSD if you can." You say it like my entire post was: "only if you have good CPU, have high CPU clock, have a good GPU, have 8+GB RAM, and SSD you will be able to play the mod lag free." As i told in the thread, even with my powerful new shiny pc i still had lag, the biggest lag killers were the ""Maximum pre rendered frames" option set to 1, Razer cortex and CPU overclock. As i said some of these tweaks wont work for everybody but for those who have the right conditions (overclockable CPU and Nvidia GPU or at least one condition or even none, for people with a not overclockable CPU and an AMD card, they can use Razer Cortex and it's STILL SOMETHING), they MIGHT get a benefit. Everybody's config is different, i just posted what helped ME, if people want to try these tweaks or not it's up to them.
"Performance varies also with map, AI, opponent numbers." Yes i agree with your point, what my post is about is that i managed to DECREASE the lag for all the situations, map, AI and opponent numbers. As i said vs AI i still have lag, 4v4s still struggle, huge maps no one plays in serious pvp's because we all know they lag.
"Also if you check before running coh, that your CPU is pretty much idling on low freq with 0-10% used, that is fine and you dont need to shut down anything or do whatever shamanic rituals with so called optimizers etc." I get your point, my CPU is powerful enough to play bk without any "shamanic rituals" but that's not my case, as i said these "shamanic rituals" made my game from unplayable to buttery smooth. I will try to make tomorrow a video with no tweaks vs one with all the tweaks.
About antiviruses, i said i don't even use one, i just said it for people who use to temporary close them while playing or use functions like avast has, game mode i think it was called.
"so maybe try ONLY this." You say this like my other suggestions are harmful, i don't get it, im trying to help people here, im not selling stuff, im not advertising Razer Cortex, if i would advertise it i would post a link towards it (if they had an advertising link), i just said google it and try it for yourself.
I understand your skepticism, it could be because of my personality which makes me look like a sales man, (like Saul Goodman
, that's why my username is Saul, i love that show, it's my favorite), i joke a lot in the thread, i praise BK like no one which is true, whether you believe it or not BK it's the only game i like the most. Other games that i like are Medal of Honor Airborne, Kane and Lynch 2 and GTA IV. Why? Because they are realistic games, i love realistic games, i hate games like lol or cs go, most popular games in the world today. Medal of Honor Airborne and GTA IV uses a physics engine, same with CoH. I hate CoH 2, why? because it's a cartoonish unrealistic piece of crap. They can't even make rain right, you can't tell if it's raining or snowing, plus there is no mud effect like in CoH 1.
