SHRINKING YOUR RESOLUTION WHILE RETAINING PLAYABILITY
This one can help quite a bit on low end machines. See these two variables?
Code:
ResolutionX = 640
ResolutionY = 480
Fairly self-explanatory, yes? we're going to reduce these. pick any two numbers that will still fit in your resolution when multiplied by two. for example, if your native resolution is 600x800, 300 and 400 are your maximums. Once you have inputted your numbers, test to see if CC will still run (MAKE SURE IT IS RUNNING IN WINDOWED MODE!), if not, pick some new numbers.
Code:
Sure to work presets, in X : Y format,
320 : 240
400 : 300
If it does work, quit out of the program (you dont need to wait for it to load), and set the following line:
Code:
NxWindowed = 2
This will make your window twice as large without doing extra work, which will allow you to play in a non-tiny window with less laggy CC.
Pros Of Resolution Fiddling:
No Physics Alteration.
Shows CC from a whole new perspective.
Considerable performance boost on older computers.
Cons Of Resolution Fiddling:
Unsuitable for Multiplayer.
Makes the menu misbehave.
