Yeah ! up and running and looking fantastic!:jump:

But I am trying to improve my FPS as noted in the CFS3 Tips and Tweaks, by Doublestop.

I am in cfs3.xml, and trying to up MaxFPS from "=0" to "=25 to =30", but it will not change.

I have noted that the window title includes Inernet Expolrer in the title.

I have not activated I.E. in my XP Pro operating system, as I am keepng my gamer PC off the net.

Do I need to activate I.E to modify .xml files ?

Thanks in anticipation.

And thanks!thanks!Thanks to Dev Team for this whole new world!!:applause::applause::applause:
 
Windows defaults xml files to IE. Just open the file with notepad (right click-open with and chose notepad). It is a common text file that you can edit and save. It is good to keep a backup renamed to be safe.
 
Also when you have amended in notepad, please ensure you file /save before file /exit.

Be sure you use note pad and not word pad or word.. you don't want any formating or line returns to the text saved.
 
thanks Guys

Thanks for the info guys, helpful as ever.

Dimus: forgive newbee nature of this question, but can the back up file be kept in cfs3 defualt file, along with the modified file ?

Do not understand .xml at all:kilroy:

Just to comment, if you're running an Nvidia card (as I am) I got a major fps increase without manually modifying any cfg or ini files by setting the nvidia control panel v-sync setting to Force Off vs Use 3D application setting.
 
Thanks Over50. Yes I am running a 8800GTX OC. Will try.
