how I went from 20-25fps to 30-35fps

This is how I went from 20-25fps in woods (lower in town) to 30-35fps.

You have been able to read all the info here on the forum before but I just wanted to share my experince while trying to make the game run smoother.

I have a Intel q6600 2.4*4 4gb ram nvidia 560 Ti 1gb and run a resolution of 1920*1200. You who have 16:9 screens and 1920*1080 may get even better results?

First I did everything in the first post in this thread except turning on ambient occlusion that takes resources and adds strange shadows around objects. You can skip the field of view part also if you want.

I didnt have the option to set prerendered frames to 0 so I didnt change that setting either.

Then in post 4 and 5 in this thread they are talking about modify a file to set the cpu count. Mine was on 2 and changed it to 4 becuase I have a quad.

Then I did everything in the first post in this thread(you may skip Field of view FOV if you want). I had done everything in it before except the setting of nr of cpu and maxmem. I added those now to my startstring also.

I attach my ingame settings. I explain some of them. Cant find the post now but some people argued that if you set your ingame shadow detail to very high you forced it to run on the gpu rather than the cpu. If you have a good GPU you should get increased performance by turning this setting up!

Terrain and objects detail is on low they dont look much better with higher and mostly the grass is affected that still looks great. (cant find the post that said this either)

You can get more performance by turning off antialiasing compleatly but the game really looks like crap then imo. I have tried to activate antialiasing FXAA in nvidia settings instead of ingame antialiasing but dont look good then either. So I have it on low.

I still think the game should run alot better and feels unoptimized but this is the best I have managed so far and still have some quality to the picture.
