There is a way to disable leaves on Last Eco. Edit your HawkenSystemSettings.ini file. It should be in the %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config directory. And change the following lines:

SpeedTreeLeaves=True
SpeedTreeFronds=True

to this:


SpeedTreeLeaves=False
SpeedTreeFronds=False

"Yeah, you know. I kinda used to like trees but after this map I just burned every single one in my town.

Now we are just dying without oxygen here."

Is there also a value called "HideMyMech=X"?

Reduces lag I assume

Nice, I used to do this in Unreal Tournament. The advantage is that you can now see through certain trees and foliage, because you are telling the engine not to render them. Also I used to disable lens flares and shadows, perhaps there is a way to do this in Hawken

[CounterlogicMan]

There is in fact a way to disable lens flares and shadows in the ini files. I don't remember exactly which file and what the variables are called exactly. Ctrl+F in the ini files looking for lensflare and shadow should find it though. 

 

Disabling lens flares and shadows in the advanced graphics settings does increase performance. So I don't know if lens flare and shadows are on regardless of client settings, so it might not be worth the effort solely for those things if there is already performance gain from turning off the built in settings options. There used to be a thread on the forums with a lot of changes you could do to the ini to improve performance specific to hawken but idk if it still is around in the archives. Might be worth a search.

 

Also if you google search ini config for UE3 you can find some general optimizations you could try. [at your own risk]

 

Good find on the tree stuff, I am gonna try to see if it increases fps tonight. Good chance it won't though. The sky boxes in Hawken are pretty impressive....and taxing on the pc.

Nope, the quote is from an old video he made.

Slowpoke

I know this stuff is old, but there was no how-to on it on this forum.

The reaction to Last Eco bac kthen is the same as for Bunker now.

As a frequent Brawler user, I encourage tanking with A classes.
