	Many players help our community and have a wide range of experience with specific hardware as well as general issues. The Community Support forums are often the fastest way to find information about specific performance issues you may encounter, as well as to get advice specific to your system to improve performance. These forums are accessible to anyone.		Many players help our community and have a wide range of experience with specific hardware as well as general issues.

	Updating Video and Sound Drivers		Most of the issues related to performance are not, from the Game but from a wrong or missing Driver. Up above you can find links to most of the driver providers websites. The easiet way to see if you have a incorrect driver is through your DXDIAG. you also can find the information in the Device manager. If you have trouble or questions about drivers visit the Community Support Forums.
			Updating Video and Sound Drivers- One of the key methods for ensuring maximum performance is having the latest and greatest drivers from your video, sound, and chipset manufacturers.

	~~==Operating System==~~

	~~Note: Windows Vista is currently unsupported by CRS~~. ~~However it does work with Windows Vista. Stop by the Community Support forums (Windows) for Vista Tips & Tricks~~

	==Memory==		==Memory==
	It is recommended that you have no less then 1024MB of dedicated System memory. However accounting for the operating system and background tasks. 1536MB and higher is Recommended by most. It is NOT a improvment in performance to turn your page file off in windows XP. windows (all versions) Relys on the page file for low profile usage. It is normal and infact faster for windows to use the page file instead of the system memory for certain proccesses.


	==Video==		==Video==
	A video card with Hardware Supported Direct X 9 or 10 is recommended. Also Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher w/ 128MB of Texture memory is also recommended. pixel shader 1.4 and lower results in poor performance with some settings or it will not load at all. There is a list of supported and recommended video cards in the Community Support forums. NOTE Sli is currently not supported by BE. It has also been shown to decrease performance in game.

	~~=Software and Operating system Tips=~~

	Note: The #1 way to easily free up system memory prior to loading BE is to Endtask on the explorer.exe. This is your GUI for windows. It can take up anywhere from 20-200+ MB of system memory and a decent amount of CPU cycles when its enabled. Disabling this can give you a extra 3-10fps on average.


	msconfig: You can access this menu by going to your "run..." icon in your start menu and typing "msconfig". this is your start-up utility. Navigate to the last tab called "start-up" Uncheck EVERY program that is not absolutly needed with your computer's start-up. Remember if you need it you can always start it later. This can be such a amazing improvment in performance. Some computers can become upto 75% faster then they were before simply by editing the msconfig menu!!!
