OUTDATED. Config cause crashes in updated hawken. don't use it now, until i make a new version.
(конфиг устарел, и вызывает краши игры. не устанавливайте его после обновления хавкена, если использовали, удалите папку с конфигами из моих документов)

Okay Comrades! New configs is here. It was totally difference if compare with previous version. New config included all my previous expirience, to made it better and get rid of previous defects. New version is more stabile, have a less FPS drop in fight, and have a good visual. Also, it can be easily tweaking for your taste by changing only several parameters.
Here the 3 configs in total, based on one.
1) Soft config - Give you higher FPS and less FPS-drop in general. probably, best of three.
2) Plastic config - Also give you a high FPS, but it created for prevent hawken crashes. plastic config uses textures in extremely low resolution and not overflowing you memory. Use it if you hawken crashes very often. it have pros and cons, if compare with Soft config.
3) Hawken/Doom config - welcome back to 1993. (Attention! Doom config not created for higher FPS, it is just bring for you different visual expirience. it have enabled alot of effects like smoke and others)

 

Ok. Let's go, but first...Do not forget create a backup of your config, if it needed. you also can deleted all config files, and hawken create default config.
 

 

How to install config?

 

Soft config ver 4.0 (install)

Spoiler

1) Download config files in ZIP: https://mega.nz/#F!q...OHsaTlq0noLPiDg
it should contain "HawkenSystemSettings.ini", "HawkenEngine.ini" and "HawkenLightmass.ini"
alternative link: https://yadi.sk/d/Iqe5VI8t3GzVGz
 

2) Find your hawken config path. if you use windows XP, find it here:
  C:\Documents and Settings\%user_name%\My Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config

if you use win7,8,10 it should be here:
  C:\Users\*Username*\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config

3) Replace "HawkenSystemSettings.ini", "HawkenEngine.ini" and "HawkenLightmass.ini" on files in the zip-archive

 

4) Launch hawken. Also, in game video settings you may see that Hawken yse "high quality" textures resolution. Don't worry, it is needed only for activate some commands in HawkenLightmass. Also, any changes in video settings destroy part of config. Never change it!

DetailMode=0

This command increase/decrease all maps detalization. maximum value = 2.
DetailMode=2 allow you to seen "hidden" map decorations like pipes, small columns, and other invisible things attached to walls. these objects also can block your bullets and rockets.
use 0 for higher FPS. use 1 or 2 for less FPS, but better gameplay quality.

ResX=1280

Your Display resolution. You may change or increase it, but keep in mind, that 1280 it is minimal hawken resolution. Resolution Increasing also may have affect on your FPS.

 

Fullscreen=True
Enable/Disable window-mode. As i know, better use Full screen, because if you use Window-mode, you videocard should drawing Desktop and game. But maybe i'm wrong. Whatever you like. You can use it if not want play on 1920p monitor with 1280x720 resolution.

 

in HawkenEngine.ini find:

Attention pls! Next 2 commands are very important to performance!

 

FLightPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=512
FModShadowPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=512
Both command working with memory pool and basis on your RAM. Logic the same:
Your RAM/8=pool value, so, use:
8092/8=1024 for 8Gb ram
4096/8=512 for 4Gb ram
2048/8=256 for 2Gb ram
i have a 2Gb DDR3, for my expirience, 512 is working very good for performance, but it may cause crash when you memory end, because you use higher value than you should use.
based on game test expirience - better values for 4/8Gb can be: 512 for primitives, and 1024 for shadows.
But i recommend use standart 512/512 values, or decrease to 256 (if you have 2Gb ram), to prevent game crashes (say "hello!" to LostEco)
You will have to to experiment with these settings to find the best result for you PC.

MaxParticleResize=10
This option delete Smoke trail from weapons like TOW, HF, GL, Heat, etc. Use "MaxParticleResize=532" to return trails. As always, it may decrease you FPS in general, and FPS-drop in fight.

DisplayGamma=3.3
this change your display gamma. Default value is 2.2, but i'm recommend use a little higher value, because game lighting quality was highly decrease to increase FPS, so, game may be too dark if you use default value. For me, 2.8-3.8 range is good.

NOT TESTED "ENGINE.INI" SETTINGS

Spoiler

nice info finded by angryhampster,
i personally think, it was working better, but i'm can't test it right now. later i test this and added in configs

*IMPORTANT* REAL Stutter Fix (PIN THIS)

First off, I rarely post anything, but after reading about this in UE3 based games over and over again and having a unique knowledge of the unreal engine (I've playtested games based on all of them) I could sit idle no more.

Ok, so you have read countless drobes of stuff on how to fix stutter or hitching or frame lag or whatever you want to call it, and you really can't find something that "works" period. Search no more, you have found IT.

READ COMPLETELY

This guide will not feature technical explanations as to why the settings work. It is writ for the everyday gamer. It is important to note that the UE3 engine was designed with consoles in mind and needs to be optimized for PC use. YOU MUST INCLUDE ALL CHANGES. Do not attempt unless you have a decent knowledge of what you are doing(and how to undo it). This will not effect the ablilty to play online and does not fall outside the guidelines of VAC.

And yes you may have seen some of these settings and tried some of them but they MUST all be done together for this to work properly because many settings affect the timing of other settings since this is a streaming based engine. TRY IT this way 1st. plz. give it a chance.

This WILL NOT fix choppy bink video playback as that is plugin based and not engine based. That is a different animal altogether (its very poorly coded for multi-core cpus)

THIS FIX WORKS FOR ALL UE3 BASED GAMES.(well tested)

I need to take a moment to explain that this will fix the kind of stutter that you get even on med to high-end hardware commonly called load/frame hitching. This is where your getting great Frames Per Sec (as reported by fraps or afterburner) but it "looks" choppy. Poor performace (I.E. running a game at settings you know your HW can't run well) will not see a serious decrease in hitching, though it will still help a fair bit. You can really tell the difference if you run with vsync ON and compare BEFORE FIX/AFTER FIX smoothness. It is very, very obvious. Anyhow....

ALL GAMES MUST HAVE COMPLETED FIRST RUN. (1 startup then exit)

1st Goto \ users \ yournamehere \ documents \ my games \ gamename \ ...... \ config.
(Note: EA games sometimes use "EA Games" instead of My Games)
Make a Backup of the "engine" ini file just in case you need it.

2nd Open the "engine" ini file in notepad (or your text ed of choice) Find and change the following lines ( just use ctrl-f ) taking care to match the settings to your system where noted. Also some of these settings you may not have to change IF they already match what is given.

Here they are: (REMEMBER, READ CAREFULLY, MATCH EXACTLY)
"*"=setting
"bUseTextureStreaming=True" (these are default for most but not all UE3 games)
"bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=True"
"MipFadeInSpeed0=0" (these even out mipmap loads and draw time)
"MipFadeOutSpeed0=0"
"MipFadeInSpeed1=0"
"MipFadeOutSpeed1=0"
"PhysXGpuHeapSize=64" (these balance physx calls even on cpu based physx titles)
"PhysXMeshCacheSize=16"
"bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE" (this really does need to be on, ignore what you've read)
"MinSmoothedFrameRate=30" (keep these right here. setting higher/lower does no good)
"MaxSmoothedFrameRate=400"
"bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True" (reduces overall shader batch call size)
"DisableATITextureFilterOptimizationChecks=False" (driver based opt is MUCH faster)
"UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=False" (same here)
"PoolSize=256" or (vidmem/poolsize exmpl: 512/128, 1024/256, etc, DO NOT exceed 768)
"bAllowMultiThreadedShaderCompile=True" (should already be on by default)
"ThreadedShaderCompileThreshold=4" (formulate like this: # of cpu-cores (not threads) -2)
"OnlyStreamInTextures=True" (reduces overall texture batch call size)

Check for multiple instances of these settings within this file as some games have them listed twice and you must change both (I.E Xcom:Enemy Unkown)

Now save the file, then right click it, choose properties and then set it to "read-only".
Launch your game, choose reset to defaults under that games graphics settings, then set them up how you want. These settings get saved to your profile file for that game and use the engine ini as a base. They are not saved to the ini file therefore it wont matter that it is read-only. However there are a few rare exceptions (SEE NOTE BELOW)

THAT'S IT.

All other settings in the file should be left at there defaults
(Yes, even "SizeOfPermanentObjectPool". FYI This can hurt performance if set different from defaults because it can actually increase frame call time if set incorrectly)

All changes asume that you have steam cloud sync on. If not, changes you make may be overwritten if you turn on cloudsync after the fact and may need to be re-done.

(SPECIAL NOTE) Some UE based game like BatmanAA or AC need to be configured how you want it 1st THEN do the fix minus the reset defaults part. You will also need to modify the "userengine" ini file in the same folder as the one above to match any relevent settings.

If you have done everything correctly YOU WILL NOTICE IT. Unlike other "fixes" the performance of this one will be VERY obvious, Especially for ATI/AMD owners. In fact the title screen loading for Dishonored is a dead giveaway (which is why I put this in here)

I test it later, and if it will be good, updated config later.

 

 

BONUS INFO how make an Auto-charge weapons:

 

Spoiler

In "HawkenInput.ini" find:

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="AnimatedTaunt | onrelease EndAnimatedTaunt",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

and change this to:

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="StopFire | OnRelease StartFire",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

Now you have "Weapon auto charge" option instead "mech taunt"
now you can swap shooting modes in "game settings -> Key bindings"

 

1) if you bind "Mouse 1 button" to "Fire" key, you can play with a regular weapons (AR, Flak, SMG)

 

2) if you bind "Mouse 1 button" to "Taunt" key, you weapons start shoot automatically (Heat, EOC, T32, Breacher)

 

this allow you charging weapon like Heat and EOC automatically. you wait while it charging, and just press LMB to shoot, if you hold mouse button you stop shooting. Easy to use.

So, just change game controls in game menu if you want play on raider, infil, scout, predator, grenadier, rockee or G2-raider. and rebind it to normal to play on mechs like Brawler and Assault.

 

thx Mr. Silent_ for help.

 

Silent_ manual explanations

Spoiler

1) Find HawkenInput.ini (C:\Users\*Username*\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config)

 

2) Find [HawkenGame.R_PlayerInput]

 

and under it

 

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="AnimatedTaunt | onrelease EndAnimatedTaunt",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

and change it into

 

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="StopFire | OnRelease StartFire",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

also create this bind

 

Bindings=(Name="J",Command="AnimatedTaunt | onrelease EndAnimatedTaunt",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

Now taunt works normally when you press J. Changing between normal / reversed fire happens in in-game options menu. Bind left mouse button to taunt whenever you want to use chargeable weapons / change it back to normal when not using these weapons. Otherwise you will be shooting constantly.

 

EDIT; make sure to either add changes to end of that section or remove duplicate binds. If 2 binds for same key exist, later one will override earlier. Same goes for aliases.

 

DISABLE MOUSE SMOOTING GUIDE:

Spoiler

in hawken Input.ini find and change all (some strings are dublicated, it mean you need find several the same commands):

 

[Engine.PlayerInput]

LookRightScale=0.000000

LookUpScale=0.000000

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

 

Bindings=(Name="MouseX",Command="Count bXAxis | Axis aMouseX Speed=1.0") //You can change it to 1.1, 1.5, 2.0 to have different result personal to your mouse, experiment with this.

Bindings=(Name="MouseY",Command="Count bYAxis | Axis aMouseY Speed=1.0") //You can change it to 1.1, 1.5, 2.0 to have different result personal to your mouse, experiment with this.

 

Bindings=(Name="LookUp",Command="Axis aLookUp Speed=+25.0 AbsoluteAxis=0")

Bindings=(Name="LookDown",Command="Axis aLookUp Speed=-25.0 AbsoluteAxis=0")

 

Bindings=(Name="GBA_TurnLeft",Command="Axis aBaseX Speed=-40.0 AbsoluteAxis=0")

Bindings=(Name="GBA_TurnRight",Command="Axis aBaseX Speed=+40.0 AbsoluteAxis=0")

[maxajcd]

does this just make the game a plastic hawken?, How bad of a computer could i run hawken on with these settings. I have a macbook late 2009 with 4gb ram so if i bootcamp it to run windows i might be able to play hawken on it : )

Edited by maxajcd, 12 November 2015 - 09:32 AM.

Points not only in how old PC you use. It just working better. Less crashes, less overload to your PC, less FPS drop. You also have a better vision and clearly see what going on. Now it is also less sticky walls :)

My PC not so old for hawken, and I actually can play on low settings, but playing with config just more comfortable for me.

I'm still trying to find a way how disable shaders =(

But what about the 'splosions 

[nepacaka]

But what about the 'splosions 

it is related with smoke, so...
actually, you no need explosions to play, because you should evade rockets to not recieve a damage from TOW. if you see explosion in your face, you already get damage.
you also can see and detonate your rocket, you no need to see where it explosed. it is just an animation.

and actually you see a very small and square explosion :D

[maxajcd]

But what about the 'splosions 

imagine high detail explosions in this plastic hawken, it would look out of place :))))))

[nepacaka]

for people who want return explosions (but you return smoke too. actually if you play on Reaper, you no need to see explosions, and if you play with TOW, smoke is not a problem for you :D)
you should do this:

find "TextureSettingsUltra"
and change
TEXTUREGROUP_Effects=(MinLODSize=1,MaxLODSize=1,LODBias=1)
to
TEXTUREGROUP_Effects=(MinLODSize=128,MaxLODSize=128,LODBias=1)
or higher. 256, 512, etc.
 

 

you can tweak many game parameters if change numbers since 1 to 64,128,256,512...
but remember, than higher value you use, than less FPS you have.

 

but if you decreased these lines, you can ruined map geopmetry and some maps will be unplayble. 256 and 384 - it is a minimal value for these parameters.
TEXTUREGROUP_Terrain_Heightmap=(MinLODSize=384,MaxLODSize=384,LODBias=0,MinMagFilter=linear,MipFilter=point)
TEXTUREGROUP_Terrain_Weightmap=(MinLODSize=256,MaxLODSize=256,LODBias=0,MinMagFilter=linear,MipFilter=point)

an amazing job

an amazing job

absolutely

[nepacaka]

pew-pew! new version is here. much/more things was changed in HawkenEngine for good performance and 2gb ddr memory optimization.

[SeraphimLoki]

Okey so here is the thing. Im running slower computer and tried this one and it faild me badly;]. First of i use win7, none of my files start with Hawken name they are: "DefaultSystemSettings.ini" instead of "HawkenSystemSettings.ini".  

Well i changed all the things you listed and got a crash on my hawken:(. Any idea how to work it out?

[nepacaka]

DefaultSystemSettings.ini

 

it is a standart game file, i recommended not change it.

you can found it (for exmple) in
D:/games/Hawken/Config (or very similar path of installed hawken game)

and also the other standart defaults configs, you shouldn't change these configs. if you change these configs you probably can kill the game :P

you need find configs in "C:/My documents/My games/Hawken/Config", it is a different path on your disk "C:/".

 

 

actually, if someone use win7,8 or 10, you can inform me about configs path, i will thank you, and upgraded info/instruction in first post (because i have only XP :3)

 

 

 

also, if you find correct *.ini files, you can try copy text from my files, and replace it in your files by hand (ctrl+c / ctrl+v), it may help.

will be good if you use the same method

- change HawkenSystemSettings.ini
- Launch Hawken
- wait, it is crashes or no?
- if no. change HawkenEngine.ini

- Launch Hawken
- wait, it is crashes or no?

- if no. change HawkenLightmass.ini (it not very need for fps actually)
- Launch Hawken
- wait, it is crashes or no?

it can help if some command in one *.ini file can be incompatible with your PC

3.2 version upgraded!

Now it have a easy (but not perfect :D) way how to change Chargable weapon mechanics in game, for use Heat, EOC, T32 more easy.

[Silent_]

Im tired of explaining this so ill just put this here;

 

1) Find HawkenInput.ini (C:\Users\*Username*\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config)

 

2) Find [HawkenGame.R_PlayerInput]

 

and under it

 

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="AnimatedTaunt | onrelease EndAnimatedTaunt",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

and change it into

 

Bindings=(Name="GBA_AnimatedTaunt",Command="StopFire | OnRelease StartFire",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

also create this bind

 

Bindings=(Name="J",Command="AnimatedTaunt | onrelease EndAnimatedTaunt",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

 

Now taunt works normally when you press J. Changing between normal / reversed fire happens in in-game options menu. Bind left mouse button to taunt whenever you want to use chargeable weapons / change it back to normal when not using these weapons. Otherwise you will be shooting constantly.

 

EDIT; make sure to either add changes to end of that section or remove duplicate binds. If 2 binds for same key exist, later one will override earlier. Same goes for aliases.

[Silent_]

Made another fuzzy bunny paste mistake in earlier post, fixed that. (taunt didnt work earlier since commands for that bind were for shooting instead >.> )

[Odinous]

Thanks for that charged weapon script,will try it tonight after work,my predator is already in   .The only thing i will have to change before using a non charged weapon is a binding right?

[Derpy Hooves]

Fyi Nepa or for anyone of that matter, if your running an AMD GPU, download MSi Afterburner or open Catalyst Control Center. In Afterburner, click and drag the slider for "Power Limit (%)" from 0% to +20%, for Catalyst Control Center, open the Performance tab, enable AMD Overdrive agree to the terms, enable Graphics Overdrive, then navigate to Graphics Overdrive at the top of the Performance tab, check the Enable Graphics Overdrive box and then mainly dial up the Power Limit Setting box to 20%.

 

This essentially shifts the GPU P-State settings for factory overclocked cards. With a -20% setting it underclocks the card to save power/heat but you loose fps, at 0%(neutral), it runs the card within AMD standardized limits so even if your card come factory OC'd at 1100~1200, at 0% it runs at whatever AMD reference cards run at. Finally at +20% it lets your card run at full speed + whatever it can squeeze out extra, it lets the card use more power but at an obvious increase in fps.

 

Did some small testing with your profile and with an R9 270X with Vsync off it was getting 55~60 with your profile at 0% power for test #1, then test #2 your profile+ the power limit boost 75~80fps, then on final test #3 on -20% power same profile as yours, the card was getting 28~40fps.

 

Just a small test I ran to help those using your profile while still getting shaky performance at least on the AMD side. I don't got any Nvidia GPUs so I can't test the effects of the Adaptive Power Management settings.

Needing to script to auto charge a primary; pathetic.
I would disown my own child for such a disgrace.

Some people have carpal tunnel and other similar problems that make holding LMB hard for them.

[nepacaka]

It is not a script.

[Silent_]

Yup, its not script. And what is in the game is in the game. It doesnt really make you play better or anything, and if you have already used to holding down it will even be harder to use at start until you get used to it. Besides, with this my finger doesnt hurt after one match like it would normally.

[CraftyDus]

overiding the charged weapons because you are incapable or unwilling to learn how to use them as intended is an admission that you aren't able to conduct yourself in a fair contest of skill with players that would never require such low skilless methods. I would maintain that bads doing this are among the least skilled players in Hawken.

Most players would agree that it's at the very least, a little sad that there's players considering using this.

It's one step below aim assist on the stairway to everskrubdom.

[Silent_]

Who are you to complain about dev`s choices. Besides, games have been tweaked ever since games existed. It is in the game and if devs were to think its bad, they would remove it. Also pretty much every fps game has something similar.

 

Do you also complain other playing having unfair advantage because he or she has better pc?

[nepacaka]

Do you also complain other playing having unfair advantage because he or she has better pc?

 

i have a 2000-2200 mmr, and probably it is my mmr-range limit.

 

i use old genius ball mouse which cost 2$. i buy it more than 10 years ago. And my aim is Extremely bad (really bad. 30% with Flak, i even missed when use shotguns. lol).

I have 60% aim on Heat cannon without "script". and i have 60% aim with autocharge (because i can't play better). my skill not changes. just right now this weapon easy to use for me, but it doesn't make heat-cannon stronger. i'm still miss when i trying to shoot in flying targets.

 

this auto-charge don't make me stronger. just weapon now is very fun to use. it is some sort of thing which hawken should have, and it is just make "normal".

 

Why no one complain when devs delete walking acceleration? or when devs delete fuel from dodge?
Why nobody complain when devs delete dynamical weapon spread? weapon spread making use of weapons more difficult too.

In Ascension patch - the game is changed. hitscan weapons changed. Air-combat, Walking, vertical aiming angle, dodges changed.
All changed! But not heat-cannon. why?

I think it is time to have "Ascension version of heat-cannon"

Version 3.3 is arrived. Updated HawkenEngine.ini and HawkenSystemSettings.ini

i trying to make less FPS drop, but have no idea it is better or not. in theory it should be better, cuz i disable many things, texture streaming was changed and returning to default method (i think it working better if you have only 2Gb ram).
also, some potencially positive changes in HawSysSet.ini

Let me know if you have/find a problem, or FPS will be less/worse drop for you than before.

EDIT: oops! a little mistake in world linear/point texture. Fixed! :D

Hawken/Doom config is arrived! install it and back to 1993! Hellyeah!

Edited by nepacaka, 23 November 2015 - 07:00 AM.

[maxajcd]

i tried this on a computer with: Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB. Still only getting 10-15 frames* but was fun to try. (*this was with your 3.2 version, ill have to try with the 3.3)

[nepacaka]

ill have to try with the 3.3

 

in 3.3 i return standart texture streaming.
logic is here
with texture streaming you have more fps, but more fps-drop

without texture streaming u need a lot of memory, game loading longer, but you have less fps drop. (i think it working worse when you have 2Gb ram and 1Gb videocard)

actually, i have a some tests on my PC, and result look like it is hawken problem, not config.

high settings, medium textures. 200+ fps in hangar. 130 fps in exploration mode. 90 fps in fight. fps drop to 30-40 if u see many objects in one place.

with config, disabled all (i mean - ALL!). 300+ fps in hangar. 180 fps in exploration mode. 90 fps in fight. fps drop to 40-60 if u see many objects in one place.

also, interesting thing, that even if hawken show drop to 40 fps, visually i don't see any lags...

it is actually don't have to much difference with config or no.
Config just help if you game crashes on some maps. And yes, you PC have a lower "heat" =/

 

Edited by nepacaka, 23 November 2015 - 08:55 AM.

[maxajcd]

it is actually don't have to much difference with config or no.

At this point, a 10 frame difference is everything because im getting about 20 in the garage

[nepacaka]

you have only 20 FPS in hangar with config? or N+20 FPS?

 

i'm obviously talking about my own PC. i mean, for me no difference to play with config, or play without config. i just use config to decrease lags, crashes, and heat to videocard/gpu. i actually can play without config (except lostEco, lol. ;D)

no like actual 20 fps, max 25 in garage, my graphics processor is 256mb, also is 3.3 updated in the links?

yes.
 

no like actual 20 fps, maybe 30, my graphics processor is 265mb

 

sad.
when you download and install v3.3.
open "HawkenSystemSettings.ini"

 

1) find "DetailMode=2" and change it to "DetailMode=0" (disable many object, like grass on LostEco)

2) find "MaxDrawDistanceScale=1.000000" and change it to "MaxDrawDistanceScale=0.800000"

3) find "ScreenPercentage=100.000000" and change it to "ScreenPercentage=90.000000" (or 95)

4) Find:

thanks will try now

[maxajcd]

now averaging 20 fps in game and 20 in the garage, before had much less in game so i can at least tech ok. Not bad for a bootcamp MacBook late 2009 with 256mb of graphics ram.

Edited by maxajcd, 23 November 2015 - 08:19 PM.

[nepacaka]

i think it is maximum waht i can do.
also, have a question. without config hawken working good on LostEco on you 256mb Mac? i mean, lostEco is loading without error?

 

and please, tell me you PC (or it is notebook?) configuration (i mean, gpu/ram/videocard name), and which operation system you use. win or unix? 32 or 64?

 

edit: oh, maxajcd, i also forgot tell you, trying to acivate Vsync in game menu and text hawken with it, it should divided load between gpu and video card. (as i know)

Edited by nepacaka, 24 November 2015 - 04:20 AM.

[maxajcd]

I took this macbook (Laptop) and installed a 64 bit version of windows 7 professional.

I got LastEco to work at around 17 fps. I will also try the V-Sync trick. I can play vulcan assault and tech not too bad, but mechs like SS are not playable

This is awesome!  Thanks Nepa!

 

But is there any way I can make it look less plastic?  I don't need a lot of terrain detail, so I'd like it to be less than low, but more than solid colors.  The cockpit, it's a bit more important that it doesn't just punch my eyeballs with a solid color.  The lightmaps, skybox, etc I'm leaving as you set them.  It gives the game a very N64 vibe that I'm enjoying!  

 

I don't mind figuring out the exact values myself, but I already tried adjusting LOD values to 128 in SystemSettings, and as far as I can tell, there's no difference. 

[nepacaka]

This is awesome!  Thanks Nepa!

 

i'm working on new version.
just i don't know how return back the EOC tracer, i disabled so much. :D
new version should be better, and possible will have a textures, and +/- the same FPS

new config test version.

deleted.

please try and tell me, it is better, or worse with FPS? i need your feedback guys to made it better

 

edit. fixed mistake in
FLightPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=512
FModShadowPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=512
it is now 512 because it better for 4Gb PC

use 256 if you have 2Gb
and use 1024 if you have 8Gb and 64bit Windows
