ok, this is getting out of hand, my computer is crappier and crappier by the day, and its impailing my ability to kill... I got a windows xp Compaq presario, AMD Sempron precessor 3400+, 994 MHz, 448 MB of RAM



And can someone tell me the good settings for cod:uo, because when I choose the optimal performance settinggs they are way too high and my computer gets 10 fps, which is horrible... I got everything down to almost minimum settings, no brass, no holes, no viecle traits, no lighting effects, graphics low for map, medium for models. I Think I can't get it any lower,and new pc is out of the question.



But if anyone knows settings or programs or whatever, messing with the uoconfig_mp thing, your help shall be most gratly appriciated. thanks... This is some screen I got and u clearly see the poor fps #, what was goin on with the conversation I dunno... and the second pict had 28 fps(miracoulisly) but u can see how cheap the rifle and german look...

Good post of things to do Cross of Iron.

On setting your monitor's refresh rate higher, if you have an LCD monitor, you might not want to set this to other than 60 Hz, but check with your particular monitor first.

Also, clean out your cod and uo folders. Everytime you boot up the game, it's putting most of what you have in your folders into memory, so if you have a bunch of mods and crud in there, you're eating up a lot of memory with that alone. A great utility for this is http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/;67336 the COD cleaner.

Also, defrag your hard drive. Files that are fragmented and scattered all over inside your hard drive take up precious cpu cycles waiting for the data fetches.

And then, try this EnditAll. http://www.the-old-sea-dog.net/enditall.html What this does is stop all non-gaming-necessary running processes, freeing up your computer to run your game and nothing else. Just start up this puppy and let it stop everything. Then run your game. It will not hurt anything. As soon as you reboot your computer, all of your running processes come right back.

" 448 MB of RAM "

This doesn't look correct to me.

Where are you getting these numbers from?
I'm with MyWifesMule, they don't look right.
Your showing the CPU only running at 1Ghz, but a Sempron 3400+ has a 2ghz clock.

I don't understand the 994MHz thing either when he's referring to a 3400+ processor. I figured he typed something wrong.



The RAM, a 256MB stick + 128MB stick + 64MB stick = 448. Probably what he has going on, but I wonder if such a mismatch of sticks of RAM could cause an issue as well.

Hey it look wrong to me too, but that's what it says under >control panel> system, I don't know what is wrong with it but that's what it say... and I do know that a semperon 3400+ is a 2GHz but why it says 994 I dunno... my computer is so freaky... I been saving up cah for a new one... Well thanks anyway for your imput people, and hay steel, thanks very much, haven't tested the programs but they sound good...

Pooper, if you havent done this yet as Cross mentioned do it now:

********
· Set your Hunkmegs for maximum performance
First locate your uoconfig_mp.cfg (Typically C:ProgramFiles-Call of Duty-uo-uoconfig_mp.cfg)

Make a Backup copy

Open it in wordpad

Find and change the following setting

seta com_hunkmegs "???"

Change the number in quotes to half of your system memory.
Example:
System memory is 512mb set it to 256
System memory is 1 gigabyte set it to 512
This allows larger maps to load and run more smoothly.
*******

This helped me out a lot when I was struggling to make decent framerates on larger maps.

Much obliged canuck... and everyone else...
