Warhammer performance tuning.

I was looking at some game developer videos of WAR and went "WTF, that video looks like a Xbox 360 game and totally different from mine which looks like crap". The game was indeed not optimized enough to get the most out of my rig.

So I went to do some tweaking and this is the result I got. I myself felt pretty dumb for trusting the in-game graphic settings alone till now. For some weird reason I can't explain, my FPS in scenarios was way smoother with prettier graphics! If you don't get at least this kind of details in your game on a half-decent rig, be sure to do something about it. You are missing out something on your WAR experience!

System Specs:
ATI Radeon HD 3800
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz
2GB RAM
Windows Vista 32-bit

Custom Settings on Graphics Card:
Tweaks should be similar on a Nvidia card as well.
- Anti-Aliasing: 8X, Temporal enabled, Edge-detect 24X
- Adaptive Anti-Aliasing: Disabled (It messes up the transparent parts of face polygons.)
- Anisotropic Filtering: 16X
- Catalyst AI: Disabled
- Wait for vertical refresh: On
- Triple buffering: Enabled

In-Game Settings:
- All Enabled to Maximum Settings
- lightmaps="false" in UserSettings.xml file and made that file read only. This gives a huge FPS boost in scenarios. My armor no longer glows that nicely anymore when I get knocked into infamous Tor Anroc lava pits. But I would trade that glow for much smoother gameplay in PvP.

Reason i deleted old post it did not work tested and failed this REALLY works tested http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150488
