Optimise Battlefield 3 for older pcs - config file changes

[YoJustinNL]

Can you get banned for this?

@YoJustinNL No its definitely not hacking - just adjusts your graphics settings to work a little happier with older machines (in some cases).

Happy to help. Seems to work better for some than others. If anyone that tries this gets a chance to post their pc specs, that might help others?

Guys, this is fucking awesome. I got 40-60FPS with high drops. Now this game is stable 60FPS and sometimes 5FPS drops (when entering a grassy area) and it's GREAT! Now i can record it without frame drops. Try this out guys, this works 100%. Thanks man, you helped me a lot :)

I havent tried disabling origin - suspect it needs that running. Definitely doesnt need the battlelog though. Some have reported battlelog using up to 1.5 Gb of memory on faster machines with lots of ram - havent seen that myself though.

do u have to enable origin cloud??? im a kiwi also

[musicalcheers]

I'm a kiwi.  I am guessing it is something to do with the graphics but not really sure. I was given this file and it worked for me so thought I would share.

What does this file do? Does it reduce the visual quality to increase performance? BTW your voice makes me happy. Scotttish?
