Dies ist ein Posting aus dem engl. Forum, ich denke aber jeder kann dieses einfachste English auch ohne Übersetzung verstehen.
In jedem Fall bringt es unglaubliche Performance in BiA und FarCry.

I have just found out that renaming bia.exe from the BrothersInArms\System folder to anything else increases my framerate dramatically and in most areas im getting double the performance!

I have been having terrible mouse lagg and fps dipping to low 30's on my 6800GT / A64 3200+ making it really hard to aim and generally frustrating.

I recently discovered that renaming the exe for Far Cry fixed a graphical problem I was having, seems the nvidia drivers were applying some kind of optimisations to the game by detecting the exe name.

Anyway I thought id try the same with BIA, and didnt expect it to do anything, but its completely blown me away! 50+fps constantly at 1280 x 1024 8xaf where I would get 30 before! Mouse lagg has completely disappeared!

The drivers im using are the official 77.77's. My performance problems came after the 71.89's I think which leads me to believe that the nvidia drivers are doing something very strange upon detecting bia.exe after the 71.89's.

I seriosuly recommend anyone with poor performance (particularly with nvidia) trying this out, the difference is unbelievable. You may need to put some of your graphics options back upon changing the exe as they seem to go back to defaults.

Default


Renamed


One thing i have noticed... If you compare the bushes on the left closely you can see that the image quality is slightly higher before renaming the exe even though the ingame settings are identical.

***EDIT***

The reason for the difference in image quality was that the ingame AF setting no longer seems to apply after renaming the exe, and must be forced on in the nvidia control panel. With 8x AF back on the image quality is now identical and the framerate is still considerably higher than it was originally, with practically no input lagg.

I have just done some further testing by renaming the exe back to the default of bia.exe and completely turning AF off. In the same location as the above screenshots the game runs at 45fps but the input lagg is awful, the game feels much slower than it does in the last shot where im getting 40fps with 8x AF. So even though renaming the exe does improve the framerates somewhat, the key issue is that input lagg is totally eradicated.

The input lagg im refering to is where I move my mouse to look around and the graphics on screen are not snappy and do not keep up with the movements fast enough.

The bottom line is that renaming the exe improves framerates by about 10 - 20fps, (you must now apply AF through the nvidia control panel) and gets rid of the input lagg that many seem to have with this game. Hope this helps!!

Ich hab die hälfte des Textes mal übersetzt, aber keine Zeit mehr gehabt den Rest auch zu übersetzen wer will kann das für alle nicht so in englisch bewanderte machen Ich poste mal :

Ich habe herausgefunden, dass das umbenennen der bia.exe aus dem "BrothersInArms\System" Ordner in irgend einen anderen Namen meine Frame Rate erheblich steigert und in den meisten bereichen erhalte ich sogar die doppelte Performance!

Ich hatte schreckliche Mausverzögerungen und FPS Einbrüche auf 30 mit meiner 6800GT und meinem A64 3200+ CPU was es schwierig gemacht hat zu zielen und übehaupt frustrierend war.

Neulich fand ich heraus, dass ein Umbenennen der Far Cry .exe ein Grafik-Problem das ich hatte (es scheint so, dass der Nvidia Treiber einige optimierungen am Spiel vornahm, als er den Namen der exe bemerkte).

Jedenfalls dachte ich ich probiere das Gleiche mit BIA und erwartete nichts, doch es hat mich förmlich umgehauen.
Dauerhaft 50FPS und mehr bei 1280x1024 8xAF wo ich 30 zuvor hatte! Die Mausverzögerungen sind völlig verschwunden!

Die Treiber die ich benutze sind die offiziellen 77.77ern. Meine Performance Probleme kahmen nach den 71.89ern, was mich glauben lässt, dass der Nvidia Treiber ab Version 71.89 irgendetwas sehr komisches macht, falls er die bia.exe findet.
