Performance Fix

There is a way to maximize your performance that most people would not expect.
Go into video options. Click High settings. I don't care if your computer sucks, shut up and do it.
Turn shadows off completely. If you are using a laptop, turn the system texture cache to max.
Make sure shaders are still on 2.0 and don't change to 3.0
This actually doubled my framerate in indoor instances and increased outdoor FPS from 20 to 50.

Worked for me, I was wondering what kind of machine I needed to play (I have an 8800gt). I get much better fps on high than low (almost 3x better). I think all the haters didn't even bother making any attempt to adjust....well, anything.
Also, update you graphics drivers. That helps too. Especially if you have nvidia drivers, I think they had new ones like a week or two ago.
I think this should be stickied on the basis that everyone is complaining about frame rates.
This fix was actually posted on the official AOC tech forums several days ago.
I tried it and yes, surprisingly the game runs better on highest settings rather than lowest settings. Go figure. More evidence something is broken. Sometimes though whether my settings are absolute lowest possible or absolute highest possible, fps is about the same.
This still does not adress the fact that AOC is only utilizing between 10 and 40 % of ati gpu power for many ati users. There is also a 500+ post thread on AOC tech forums regarding this as well. Apparently some Nvidia users also seem to be affected, but not to the same extent.
Yesterday I fiddled around with my settings and got fps to 15 to 20 in Conarch area. Playable but not fun. Waiting for new ati card 4XXX this month.
what settings work best depends a lot on your gfx card and probably too on your system. with my radeon 2600 xt shader 3.0 seems to give me better performance than shader 2.0.
texture quality makes nearly no difference to me too, only thing that really changes my fps is playing around with the range sliders.
Ok, so you turn off Shader 3.0 and activate 2.0. But the game looks crappy. Shader 3.0 gives you all of the fine muscle tones on your character/ sweat.
Does 2.0 give you this?

i did not notice too many visual differences between shader 3.0 and 2.0 in aoc.
