BVE 2.9 frame rate hint

To improve framerates, try turning off anti-aliasing on your video card.If you have nVidia drivers installed, right click on the desktop, select "Properties and go to the settings tab. Select the "Advanced button, and there should be a tab for your video card. Next select "Performance and quality settings" (You may also have a system tray applet that is a more direct route). For other cards, consult the docs, as they say. When I killed anti-aliasing it had a dramatic effect on my framerates in 2.9. This is on a WinXP system, your mileage may vary!

>something like so becouse I read it in Italian) Yes, I set mine to "Application" rather than completely turning it off - I imagine that setting will allow applications that have the capability to set antialiasing. Changing the setting also solved a problem I had with a missing HUD display in Orbiter (great freeware program if you are interested at all in space travel.)

Eh, where did my signature go?
Oh, here it is, the one you are reading right now? Can't you see it? I know I know, it is probably too bright to see it.
Anyway, I told you not waste time reading my signature! You have just wasted 10 seconds!

if you run WMP in the background then it aparently increaces Frame Rates. Although ive not found this. Does it have to be playing a song or something? Or just there?
Minimized or not?

>Minimized or not? No, just there, in the "Now playing" part. No need for a song. It can be minimzed or not, still the same. I've got 60fps with that!

>Hint: Windows Media Player. I have tried WMP both with earlier versions and 2.9 and it does not appear to make any difference on my system.

I found it changed the maximum I can get but did not increase what I get except if I go over the maximum I got without it running.
