Gen looks great, but my framerate is in the cellar. Can you help?

While we want people to play Gen with full-tilt eyecandy whenever possible, we do realize that computers are not all-powerful and are subject to many limitations, even with the fastest video cards and processors. If you are experiencing slow framerates in Generations, try the following: Reduce FSAA and/or Anisotropic Filtering, expecially at ultra-high resolutions like 1280×1024. Try lowering your resolution to 1024×768, or 800×600. If that helps, start with a stable, fast resolution that you’re happy with and start adding options to that. Try setting cg_dlightlevel to a lower number. Plasma and blaster bolts can load the scene with a LOT of dynamic lights, and with FSAA or Anisotropic settings turned up at high res it WILL cause slowdowns even on a Geforce 4 ti4600. If you’re only experiencing slowdowns with dynamic lights in the scene, this will help greatly, either that or reducing FSAA or Anisotropic. Try setting r_roundimagesdown to “1”. Setting it to “0” WILL give sharper texture
