Game Performance
System Requirements
Please make sure that your system meets or exceeds our minimum system requirements.
Community Support
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.
Crash While Loading
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.
Video drivers from the major manufacturers can be found at these pages: NVIDIA | ATI
Sound drivers from the major manufacturers can be found at these pages: RealTek Audio | Sound Blaster
Direct X can be found here: Direct X
Chipset drivers from the major manufacturers can be found at these pages: VIA | Intel | NVIDIA | ATI
Posting "DXDIAG" (windows pc)
To get a copy of the DXDIAG- press Windows +R, type in dxdiag and click okay. Click Save all information after it runs the report.
Hardware
Memory
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.
Sound
Approximately 90% of all sound cards are supported in BE. However the minimum amount of sounds allowed is 16, max is 128. Intergrated sound is okay with BE however a good sound card will give you a lot better performance not to mention Sound better overall.
Hard Drives
Again all technologies of HDDs are supported in BE. However installing wwiionline onto a hard drive other then your Operating System Drive can result in lower load times and decreased latency when loading textures or terrain. Extremely high amounts of system memory can eliminate texture load latency.
Spyware and Viruses
As always and you'll hear it again. Spyware,Malware and all of thier buddies can contribute to quite a loss in performance. We leave it upto you to remove your own viruses. There are virtually a unlimited amount of ways to remove these but 85% are in the System32 folder. Just rename the file, reboot, and delete to remove the virus.
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.
Network settings By default Windows Reserves 10% of your total bandwidth for QoS. (Quaility of Service) this is used for Windows Update. Disable it to use the extra bandwidth. you'll find it in your network connections.
