I read something in a thread on framerates that improved my game performance. Look at your "preload.xml" and verify that all of the commonly used wav files from your sound folder are listed. Also look in your effects>fxtextures folder and make sure those .dds files are listed in the preload.xml as well. It made a noticeable difference when I did this.
Hi Lewis
Thanks for the advices given!
I searched effects.xml for flak and the only texture related to flak I could find that was not in the ETO preload.xml was cloudpuffgrey.DDS because of a typo in preload.xml (cloudpuffgey.dds).
There is no sound files in the ETO preload.xml at all.
The only sound I could find in effects.xml related to flak was this one: Sound="flak"
Below is the content of ETO preload.xml. Is there anything that I should add?
Which sounds for example?
Thanks in advance! :salute:
