If you're playing on a laptop or older PC, here are some steps you can follow to gain as much as 20 FPS, if not more. What it basically does is forces the game's resolution into 640x480, but to do this you have to run the game through a shortcut on the desktop that targets the game's executable directly. Since the config files for the game are encrypted, this is the only known way to do this at this time.

You must follow this to the letter, especially the overrideyakaaddress, yakaaddress, and yakaport. Without those, the game will still run, but you will not be able to log in to play. This is because the launcher contains this information, directing the connection to the game's server. Also important is lang, this tells the game what language to display in, and is also dictated by the launcher.

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Vogster Entertainment\CrimeCraft\Binaries and right-click CrimeCraft.exe, send to desktop (create shortcut)
2. Go to the desktop, right click the newly created shortcut and select Properties
3. In the "Target" section, paste the following:
"C:\Program Files\Vogster Entertainment\CrimeCraft\Binaries\CrimeCraft.exe" -OVERRIDEYAKAADDRESS -YAKAADDRESS=173.234.213.2 -YAKAPORT=1111 -LANG=INT -ResX=640 -ResY=480

-LANG=INT can be changed to any currently supported language (RUS, BRA)
-ResX=640 and -ResY=480 can also be changed to whatever resolution.

Enjoy the FPS gain. Combine these with the new Advanced Graphics settings that can be changed in-game for an even larger improvement. Game looks like crap, but for those of us suffering FPS in the single digits, I doubt that that will be much of an issue. You'll learn how to read the distorted text quickly, I promise.

Skipping Bleedout Episode videos
-----------------------------------------------

This works only while having the client's screen resolution for video set under Windows mode, not full screen. While playing the episode videos, just click on the Windows bar "X" to close the application while the video is running. It will not close the program, but force the video to skip and load the next video if needed. If not, the video process will stop and an alert message will inform you if you want to exit the program. Clicking "no" will just log you out back to the log in screen. Just log back in and your rewards or mission is there waiting for you.

I'm sure those leveling alts will enjoy skipping the videos, but this only works in Windows mode by clicking on the "X" button on the windows bar at the upper right corner.

Leatrix Latency fix

Don't let the site fool you, this guy is a excellent coder and made an awesome script program to change the way Windows sends packets. It's not only for WoW, but works for any online game you connect to and it's something I use everyday at home on my personal PC. Windows has a certain way when contacting packets while sending it via your network settings. This script increases the method for Windows to ID and verify the packets, which speeds up response time and lowers your online ping.

The only drawback is it depends on your Internet provider and connection, so results may vary. It's a very easy install/uninstall script, but I don't recommend it if anyone has a limited bandwidth per month with their provider. It will increase your UPLOAD rate just a tad.

There is a full description in the README file on how it works, with a great breakdown example without going all technical.

Also, Leatrix Latency Fix is always being coded and updated, so it's best to monitor that site for the latest release.

If anyone encounters any issues, feel free to post here and I'll try to help you sort it out to the best of my ability. However there should be very little that would prevent this from working as long as you follow the directions. Again, make sure you're running the game from the CrimeCraft - Shortcut (shortcut to crimecraft.exe). This will not work if you create a shortcut to the launcher.

If your game directory is different from mine, you will have to edit the target to correct it. Honestly though, all you have to do is copy everything from -OVERRIDEYAKAADDRESS to -ResY=480 and paste it AFTER "blah/blah/blah/crimecraft.exe".

Best of luck and have fun!

imma try this :P

i used the same method but 800x800, and all i have to say is thx you n i love you Avarice

Yeah, you can change it to essentially anything. I'm glad that it worked for you, though. ^^

ohhh nice thanks !

yer, i have been using the Leatrix Latency fix for a long time along with the Advance System Care 3 http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html I thing Advance System Care is the best program i have ever seen in my life and strongly recomend it to you to use. I just run a deep scran once every month.

I got a laptop
AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-65 2.10GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series
4GB ram

Its not the best i know but it does the job with nxt to no lag.

Your specs are better than mine. :P

I've got an AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10GHz
ATI Radeon 3100
3GB RAM

It's a long way off, but MAN I can't wait to get a PC put together!

I also use Advanced SystemCare Pro 3. I've got a list around here somewhere of good programs to have, just gotta find it.

Edit: Found it!

Really wish that the forum search didn't fail so much, always have to use google if I'm looking for a specific thread.
