(HUGE) FIX: for low FPS (at least on NVIDIA cards)

[¬ Octo]

Me and my friends recently got this game, we all have pretty actualized and decent gaming rigs, but as so many of you have experienced the game just ran like crap no matter the video setting you use.

My system Specs:

i5 > 3.2Ghz
4GB RAM
Win 7
MSI GTX560Ti OC

Before i discovered this fix the best i could get ingame at 800x600 with everything off or on lowest settings was around 30 FPS

After this simple fix i discovered twaking the config.cfg my computer runs it at 300fps on menus and between 60-100 ingame, but most important, EVERYTHING MAXED OUT in HD RESOLUTION (1080p)

How to?: easy

-locate this file config.cfg in the cryostasis folder and edit it with notepad or whatever
-find those lines:
@r.fur = 1
@r.postglow = 1

-Change them to look like this:
@r.fur = 0
@r.postglow = 0

-Save the changes and run the game.

Those 2 effects are the FPS killers, at least for NVIDIA gpus, tested with 4 GTX mid-high end cards, all of em got same FPS boost.

Enjoy this great game ;)

I tested this and I didn't notice a difference - although i'm not running fraps or anything so i didn't get a fps counter - i am on a i7 w/ 12 GB ram and a gt 640 OEM (gddr5) // game runs well enough anyway, but to have all settings cranked up i have to turn down the res from 1980x1020 to 1366 or so. Physics and shaders are the real killers, but they add so much to the immersion.

turning shadows down really gave me FPS boost went from 30fps up to 55-40

No difference on ATI...
