OT: To the people having laaaag problems in Boiling Point

Doing a search in GameFAQs, I found a tweaked game.ini which by many users' feedback has been reported to make the game have no or very little lag in systems even below the MINIMUM specifications.

You can download it here:

http://www.koevis.demon.nl/GAME.rar

Make sure to backup your game.ini file inside your Boiling Point directory before extracting the one in the archive.

Some additional notes, having 512 or 768 MB of RAM can really do bad in the game. This game requires 1-2gigs of RAM to play on the highest standard. A little trick would be to raise Minimum and Maximum Page File to 1500-2000MBs (if you have that much space left on your disk.) Don't ask me on how to do that, use Windows Help for once!

Try these and tell me if it works.

Sorry for the off-topic mods, feel free to move it.

@peogeot
So what you are saying is with only 640mgs of Ram you can play Boiling Point with 'all' the settings turned on to 'Full' or Max! I seriously doubt it!

The ini file is interesting. I'm trying to figure out the changes and what strikes me is that I've seen several ini files told to be "improving" performance. Some of them had the cache options (closer to the end of the page) set higher then normal and this one has it seems lower than normal.

Ahem...

Quoting myself, I said that 1-2gigs are needed to play on the "highest standard." I managed to get the game to play "pretty good" on 512MB, but I just got another 512, and I'll test it now.

EDIT: Yap... More RAM did the trick. No lag, except little once in a while.
