Editing Ace_config
Hi Guys,
before I go out and splash out on a new GFX card I wanted to see if turning off the spent shell casings had any effect on FPS. Beita suggested doing this. As I have 2 left hands when it comes to techie stuff I was wondering if anyone could tell me how and where this is done.
best regards

Re: Editing Ace_config
Auf deutsch? ;-P
Okay, here you go. In your Arma directory, go to the directory "Dta\ACE". There you have the file "ace_clientside_config.hpp". Edit it with any text editor available, like the infamous Notepad. Find this part here:
Change it in any way you like, but for starters, to see if it helps at all, just disable it completely as described in the // comment by changing "enabled = 1;" to "enabled = 0;". If I was you, I would just go out and get the biggest GFX card available, that would be the proper solution and prepare you for Arma 2.Code:// Enable ejected casings staying on ground class ACE_FX_CARTRIDGES_E { enabled = 1; // change to 0 to disable max_cartridges = 500; // max. amount of cartridges on map max_distance = 0; // max. distance until cartridges become deleted by FIFO max_lifetime = 600; // lifetime of cartridges in seconds min_FPS = 15; // min. FPs when cartridges become deleted };

Hey Bert,
auf schwiitzerdeutsch......merci viel mal für dini tipps.
No seriously thanks mate. I will mess around with the config first and see what happens. If this doesnt work then I will be checking back here for some decent GFx card tips from all and sundry.

Re: Editing Ace_config
You shouldn't be worried with FPS with that graphics card...
Try to force vertical sync off, in nvidia control panel -> 3D settings -> ArmA.exe
EDIT: My guess is that your CPU is the handicap.
