  |  Dual core "sliding" fix. Reduce sliding (I cannot guarantee that it will be completely gone.) If you already have about 100-400 FPS, skip down and look for the play live tweak. For Nvidia graphics cards: Download Rivatuner from here: RivaTuner v2.11 download from Guru3D.com Open up Rivatuner. It should allocate your registry keys (or something like that) wait about 30-90 seconds.  See 'Global driver settings' ? Click on the green + sign, and do 'Add a profile'. It should open up another box, click on browse and find gunz.exe - Name the profile GunZ Anti-aliasing. After you've done that, click on Customize.. (near the bottom) and you should see lots of squares pop up. Click on the green and black one, that says 'DirectDraw and Direct3D settings'. a new box will pop up. Click on the arrows to move the tabs all the way to the right (look in the top right corner) until you see "Antialiasing". You should see it was set it 'determined by application', click on the highest number you can see (probably 16xQ) WARNING: THIS EATS YOUR FPS BY ALOT! If you only have about 100-200 FPS, only use 4x ANTI-ALIASING. Now, press "OK" on the bottom. Usually, this would eat TONS of FPS. Go check GunZ, and see if it's lower FPS, and if you have less sliding. ~IF YOU STILL DON'T HAVE 200-400 FPS~ Okay, say you now have about 800 FPS instead of 1500 (or whatever), now we are going to underclock your video card. What you want to do, is click on the bottom arrow again from Rivatuner (customize) and it will show a few options to click, click on the first one that looks like a Video-card. Click on 'Enable driver-level hardware overclocking', and then click on 'DETECT NOW', uncheck the thing about 2d/3d clock adjustment. You should now see your Core Clock, and your Memory clock (possiblely your shader clock also.) drag your core clock from where it is, down about 200-300 MHZ, with a finishing result of about 500-600 or so. (don't go too low). also, take down your memory from where ever it is, and drag it anywhere from 200-600.. don't go under 400. Hit Apply, and then press OK, and test out GunZ. See how your FPS is. Is your FPS still too high? Just go back, and drag your core/mem down even more, until you hit a sweet spot of about 200-350 FPS or whatever. ------------- ATI Graphics Cards: Our lives are much simpler, thanks to ATI's Catalyst Control Center. If you don't already have it, install it from ATI's site (Drivers & Software works for intel processors ignore their amd sitename) Install it, restart, and then it should also startup with your PC. Now, right click on the icon in your taskbar, or right click on your desktop, and click on "CATALYST CONTROL CENTER"- it's going to ask you if you want to open BASIC, or ADVANCED. Of course, click on Advanced   Click on Ati Overdrive as shown. Click on the little Locked thingy, and it should unlock and ungray everything. What you want to do, is drag your core clock + memory clock down by alot (200 MHZ is a ton with ATI) the max I can drag my core down to is 500, and mem down to 993. I have my core @ 500 Mhz and mem at 993.. Next: click on the 3D thing on the left. Click on the all settings thing on the left that you should now see- for smoothvision: anti-aliasing (at the top now) uncheck use application settings, then drag the slider to 8x. You also want to click on that thing under the slider, and click on the lowest one (edge-detect) which changes the anti-aliasing to 24x instead of Nvidia's 16x. This will eat lots of FPS too. Hit Apply. After you hit apply, click on Profiles at the top of the program, and then hit Profile Manager. Type a name (mines called GUNZ UNDERCLOCK) and then at the very bottom, click the dot that says 'All catalyst settings' and then save your profile. you should now have a gunz-underclock profile. So before you open up gunz, right click on the Ati icon in the bottom right taskbar, hover over Activate Profile, and click on GunZ Underclock and it should put all the settings to how you saved them. You should also make another profile with all the Default settings so you can put your video card back to normal after you're done with GunZ. ------------ PLAY LIVE TWEAK: Click Play Live. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del Right click gunzlauncher.exe, and set affinity. Uncheck all your other CPU's besides CPU 0. NOW hit start game, and EVERY other thing that Gunzlauncher.exe starts, will be forced to start with only CPU 0. Otherwise, before gameguard opens up, quickly set the affinity to gunz.exe to cpu 0 only, and THEN, ANOTHER gunz.exe comes up, but this one should be on CPU 0 already. I'm running a Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6 Ghz Radeon 4850 And I run GunZ at 1,200 or so (normally). After doing all my tweaks (24x anti-aliasing, only 1 cpu) I hit 200-400 FPS constantly. The only thing is, whenever someone throws a nade and you're in the center of the explosion, or you get real close to a wall and see inside of your character, your FPS eats ****. This should greatly reduce your "sliding"/delay with gunz.. If you're running an AMD processor, there is a "dual core optimizer" somewhere on their site. just look around for it. Another thing that could help, would be to update your computer with some important patches from Microsoft. Check windows update, and see if theres anything regarding your Video-card, gaming, processor issues, stuff like that, and try and update. you never know. P. S: MAKE A SYSTEM RESTORE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING I TELL YOU, INCASE YOU SCREW UP. P.P.S: If this helps you, +rep me with a thanks? |

This reduces your FPS by alot, and improves gunz gameplay by alot! Also, it makes your gunz look 16x smoother than normal, and you won't see any jagged edges whatsoever. | |

Also, I was at 80/100 fps before September, now after September and the updates, my fps dropped to 10/20. I barley can watch replays it lags so bad. Unless I view them on igunz, then it's perfect 100+ fps!  On Topic: How can you get 1000 fps?  | |

my gunz looks better than yours bich.  No jagged edges whatsoever, and you can't notice the different from 100-1000+ whatever. but you CAN feel the difference from like, 30-100.. it sucks at 30-100 seriously. espeically if you have a high DPI mouse, like myself- G5 pls? i feel the difference from 30 compared to like.. 120+ | |
