Crysis tweakfile when you use medium shaders and shadows

I use medium settings in crysis because i do want to see all the nice effects. Later i played the same game with low shaders and low shadows. I got a big performance boost and got arround 40fps in stead of 25fps. But now all shadows are gone. Even when one of both settings are to medium i dont see shadows. So that's why i used medium settings for both options again and ran the game with only 25fps.

Now i've ran a benchmark to see how many fps i really got with medium settings and i've got only 23.6fps avg. So that's why i tried to tweak the shader and shadow settings to get more frames per sec ingame.

With current tweaks i did made a nice job: I can't find any quality difference but i do get more than 5fps increase. My new avg fps is 29.1 now.

If you do want to boost your frames too then you can try this:
(Note: i advice you to use these tweaks only if you use medium shaders and medium shadows)

Go to you crysis (demo) folder and make a file called "autoexec.cfg".

Paste the next lines in the file:

-- Shader settings
e_sky_update_rate = 0.12
e_max_entity_lights = 4
e_ram_maps = 0
e_vegetation_use_terrain_color = 0
e_sky_type = 1
q_ShaderFX = 1
q_ShaderGeneral = 0
q_ShaderHDR = 0
q_ShaderGlass = 0
q_ShaderMetal = 0
q_ShaderShadow = 1
q_ShaderVegetation = 0
r_EnvTexUpdateInterval = 0.1
r_TexturesFilteringQualit = 2
r_Beams = 3
r_BeamsMaxSlices = 100
r_BeamsDistFactor = 0.25

-- Shadow settings
e_gsm_lods_num = 3
e_shadows_max_texture_size = 512
e_shadows_cast_view_dist_ratio = 0.3
r_shadow_jittering = 0


Now you can run crysis.

When you dont want to use these settings anymore then delete this autoexec.cfg file and use default settings of crysis. After that you can set your settings like you had before.

 

Thanks
I will try it out
