[Murtha]

Just curious if there are any suggestions on in game settings or launch options to optimize DoD:S.

Amount of RAM - Heapsize Number

4gb - 2097152

3gb - 1572864

2gb - 1048576

1gb - 524288

512mb - 262144

256mb - 131072

128mb - 65536

Formula to find out heapsize :

Amount of RAM in MB x 1024 / 2 (so for 2gb of RAM it would be : 2048 * 1024 = 2097152 / 2 = 1048576)

Just adding that number to the launch options will not work.. It needs to be in conjunction with the -heapsize command. So all together with the -heapsize and your heapsize it would look like this if you have 2gb of ram.

* -heapsize 1048576

To use/set your Direct-X Level you will need to put the following *Remember where ## is that is the level number you want to use*

* -dxlevel ##

80 (For those that 81 doesn't work for try this)

81 (Best for an increase in FPS)

90 (Default if 80 or 81 doesn't work this is the one you have to use)

95 (BEST for movie making , Makes the graphics even better)

Thanks. Trying all of the options you guys mentioned.

Greco, how do you know if a version of DirectX worked or not?
