Anything else I can do to increase my fps?

[Morris]

I'm on lowest video settings and directx 7. I can run the game fine at first but after 15-25 minutes my fps starts to go down. Usually I can fix it by restarting the game, but it's a pain in the ass restarting it every half an hour. So I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to improve my fps.

The first thing id check is the temperatures of the computer. warm components will draw down performance

Google how to turn off services and a list of services you don't need and can turn off safely. It saves some RAM, reduces load on your CPU, and increases startup time. You can also type "msconfig" in your search and run that. Go to the Startup tab and unclick whatever is you don't need.

DON'T TURN OFF SERVICES FROM THE SERVICE TAB IN MSCONFIG. Some services are dependant on another, and act as a chain process to accomplish something. Some services must be kept on for your system to run properly, please Google what each one does and make sure your system doesn't need it before turning them off.

I thought directx 7 isn't compatible with wse2. If that's so, you're probably not using wse2 by checking it on the launcher. You should do so because it helps performance immensely.

WSE2 increased my FPS dramatically. Im happy as hell. Might be beta, but running everything 100% to the max and still 120+ FPS. Before it was 70 with everything to the max.

Buy a new computer.
Even my old 9800GT runs this game easily.

Download GameBooster 3, it closes and blocks all the unneccesary services that don't need to be used while playing games and free's up some of your processing power.

Helps increase fps and system stability while playing games, it can be turned off boost mode at any time to put everything back to normal.

It does what it says, but gamebooster is an absolutely crappy and invasive software.

It helps me alot, although I prefer the older version because with that shitty Razer GameBooster, You can't turn it on whenever you want. Only when playing games.

can you use wse2 with win7?

Make sure the fan on your video card is still working. Sounds like a classic overheating issue to me.

Restarting your game may just be giving the card a minute to cool down a bit, which allows you to play for a little bit before overheating again.

Just a thought.

Yep sounds like your computer is overheating. (Or could be the videocard overheating). If you don't know what you're doing with computers take it in to a computer store and have them clean all the dust out of it for you. Another thing you can do is set the maximum framerate in game options to like 45 or 50. This will keep your videocard cooler since it won't be rendering as hard.

1) Check your computer's guts for dust. Apply air duster liberally.
1.5) Huff excess air duster
2) Make absolutely sure you have WSE2 running! It drastically improved my performance and let me turn up settings with higher FPS!
3) Play on lower population servers. I used to get terrible FPS on any setting if there were more than 50 people on the same server.

Thats what im using. Majority of people use Win 7 these days, that question isnt even worth asking anymore.   Cause XP isnt compatible with most new games and Vista is just shit.
