If you are having some FPS trouble...here are some of the following things that you can try out.


Step 1: Make sure your display drivers are up to date. www.nvidia.com & www.ati.com depending on what card you have.

Step 2: Open Steam and right click Insurgency, then choose Properties. Now choose "Set Launch Options" and a text box will apear in a new window for the command, place this command to change the DirectX level to 8.1.


CODE
-dxlevel 81

You should be fine with the default DirectX 9 if you have an Nvidia 6800 or better, or just about any Nvidia 7 or 8 series card. For ATI users, have an ATI x800 or better or just about any x1k or x2k series card shouldn't need DirectX 8 as well.

Add this startup command as well to ensure your heapsize is properly noted, if not you might have slow loading times.


CODE
-heapsize <number>


Here are numbers you should put based on your total ram.
2 gigs - 1048576
1 gig - 524288
512 megs - 262144
256 megs - 131072
128 megs - 65536 (you should consider buying more ram)

Step 4: Now, Open the game and go to the Keyboard tab in Options and choose Advanced, make sure the "~ Opens Developer Console" Or whatever option is turned on. Then press the ~, which is below Esc. This opens the console. Now enter these commands to raise your rates:


CODE

CODE
cl_updaterate 101


Step 5: Before joining a server, set everything in the video menu as low as possible, textures could stay at medium, but everything should be low, that includes turning off AA and HDR. Go to the Video tab and click Advanced to adjust it manually.
