Your Current System Graphics Setting

[Rudd]

On my XP PC I run everything on high and get 60fps, but my vista laptop runs everything on low-medium for the same result.

everything but textures on high[textures on medium], 1680x1050, 4xaa[I think?], 60+ FPS on all maps except for Bi Ming and Fools Road in which I plummet to like 15 fps for whatever reason.

everything on high except lighting, it seems to send my system into a drunken stupor.

Same, mine can probably cope with higher lighting, but on the more demanding maps it takes its toll and I can#t be bothered altering settings for maps.

I don't really get why people run this game at 16x AA/AF. I can and have, but it makes sandbags look like melting ice cream and whatnot. I don't think those beyond-maxed setting make the game look better at all (it's not even like the trees or foliage are really any less rasterized).

Do you do it just because you can, regardless of how it looks?

Hey Oki, I have the same graphics card as you and I've found our answer. Turn AA off or put in on 2x. I have everything on High with 2x AA 16x AF with on average 50-70fps.

i have most on high, a couple to medium, but what does AA actually do? cos i have mine as x4 and got no idea what it does

[Valtasar]

All medium exceps view distance scale which is on hight.

Try using battlefieldcleaner and clear the graphic cache, I also had 15 fps on those maps, now it's back to 40-50 again.

AA, Anti-Aliasing, smooths out those jagged lines that are created by pixels. Best example would be whenever you look at a wire on a telephone pole or something similar. Almost every game that will look at least somewhat aliased (jagged pixels on the edges).

AA at higher settings reduces it. Ultimately it doesn't change much other than aesthetics though without any AA of any sort it can potentially help obscure targets I suppose.

I voted low cause I have an aging system that barely runs anything at all. Whereas most people say Bi Ming and Kashan and Fools Road make their systems lag I say instead that only Sunset City, Qwai River, Jabal, and Zatar run properly on my system while the rest are unplayable nearly. EJOD is the worst. I just quit when I see that map loading.

I have 1 gig of ram and an ATI x1600 128m 2.4 Ghz processor. I think the most annoying thing about PR is the inconsistent graphical demands of the maps. If I'd started playing on EJOD and Basrah and Fools exclusively I might have given up right away.
