Can somebody tell me how i get the worst possible graphics in BC2 with my ati 3600 card ?
A fomer trialist helped me when he was a part of the clan, but after i had to set up my pc again, theese settings was gone, and i dont remember them. I Have had "too good" graphics" since this re install.

I am not sure but i feel my fps are very low right now, my graphics freezes suddenly for like 3-5 seconds, wich is very annoying when you pair it with high ping/latency

U can try this Champ


To get an ATI frames boost:
- Set Catalyst A.I to max


For a reported 10-20 fps boost:
- Documents>BFBC2 and open up "settings.ini"
- Change "renderaheadlimit" to 0 instead of 2


For a reported giant general performance boost:
- Documents>BFBC2 and open up "settings.ini"
- Change "Bloom=true" to false


For another potentially big performance update (especially with Quad Core users):
- Documents>BFBC2 and open up "settings"
- Change "HSAO=true" to false (also settable in the in-game "advanced" graphics settings)


Other settings.ini changes that you can try:
- Undergrowth=”medium” – Put this to low, if experiencing frame-rate issues. This map has a lot of it.
- Water=”medium” - Not really any water to traverse in this map, go ahead and set this to low.
- MSAA=”2? - This is Anti-aliasing, this will always use up a lot of a gpx cards resources. Set this to “0?
- Shadows=”medium”- you can also set this to low to improve performance
- Textures=”medium”- Setting this to low can improve FPS at the cost of visual eye candy.
- Aniso=2 - Set this to 0 to disable Anisotropic filtering.



Hope it helps.

- Documents>BFBC2 and open up "settings.ini"
- Change "renderaheadlimit" to 0 instead of 2

hmmm Kenzey, you know i am unemployed right ? and that a new system good enoug cost between 1500-2000 euros ? when that is what i "earn" after taxes in 2 months, it will seem it can be hard, cnat it ?

And why play on low ? you see people, and kill more (that is somes reason) mine is; I cant play any other way, never had.
It is what i get when i have a computer bought to play Football Manager and not fps games on.

Soo for now i stick to FM and to BP4F.

Flugger your tips worked, i guess, now it is only my ping that is a problem, i am wondering if i may ask my internet company to boost my line for one month, to see if that helps.

Will post this here and in BC2 section. Basically it's a launcher for BC2 that will allow you to changes options that can only be changed in the settings.ini file, but it will do it wilthout opening the file, and it will save those settings and launch BC2 for you with those settings. I use it religiously, maybe this will help you. BTW with full setting I usually avg about 100-120 fps at 1920x1080.
