T:V DEFAULT.INI TWEAKING

T:V too slow? you want more fps? Wel, this is your lucky day!
First, please backup your default.ini before doing anything.

Open "VUGames\Tribes Vengeance\Program\Bin\def ault.ini"


In default.ini

[Engine.GameEngine]

CacheSizeMegs=#
If you got enough RAM (+256MB) in your pc, you can change this to 64 or 128. This gives a little BOOST.


[ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]

Channels=#
This is the number audiochannels that are used (More channels, is better Soundquality ). Normal is 32. If you lower the number you can boost your T:V. (6 Big boost, 16 Lower boost)
Watch out! Don't put it lowert then 5 , if you do sound will stop working!!!

UseDefaultDriver=#
If you got a new soundcard you can set this to false so ut uses your soundcard driver. But leave it on True if you want best performance.


[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]

Put this on False ->small boost. Watch out models arn't drawn perfect.

SuperHighDetailActors=#
Put this on False ->small boost. Watch out models aren't drawn perfect.

So to sum it up, go to Options -> Graphics Detail and set it to lowest?

I have a 256mb video card. Why wouldn't the game just automatically use as much of my video memory as it could?
