Is there any noticeable increase in performance when running on medium, instead of high? Just curious, as i'd like to run the game at a faster frame rate (currently get around 20-30fps).

wait, you can't fine tune the graphics like in.....every other game? You just select "Low, Medium or High"
what the fucking shit?
hmmm i'm gonna try the resolution at -vidmode 1920, 1208, 60 there has to be some difference.
As in relevance to game performance, you can improve it many of ways:
Disable windows themes, use the Windows 2000 theme.
Run the game in fullscreen at 1024x768 or 800x600. Here's where your computer has to render the game in the least amount of pixels available. That has been predefined by the game itself. (Theoretically, you can go lower. But we've been limited to the new "Vista" Standard.)
Increase your amount of system Ram to at least two gigabytes.
Set your quality to low ingame. Shaders will be decreased in LOD as you are not closer to them, on shadows are also removed quickly. And plenty of textures are rendered with the lowest available LOD in relation to proximity.
Of course you all already know this, or perhaps have heard of this, or something. I just felt like restating it.
There's more, of course, that you can do. But there's a start.
Medium and High make a hell of a difference in my maps. Strange?
I'll try running the game at 1920 x 1200. Even though my moniter is 1280 x 1024. I normally run on 720p windowed.
I don't like sex when I'm high. Can't remember who I did the day after.
