After spending many hours searching the internet for custom configs for lower end PC's I found this. Almost the same as high but it runs at pretty much the same fps as low. Anyway I have it as my autoexec.cfg file in crysis wars directory, but punkbuster keeps kicking me whenever I join ausserver. Anyone know what in this code I should remove to stop it kicking me?

look at your console, just as you enter the server, it should tell you what variable doesnt meet the range set. Its generally view distance or something like that.

view distance for sure i had that problem also.....cant member what quacks set it at....wounded will know!

kk thanks bob, i have that console problem though that won't let it work (many vista users have this and no fixes yet), but i will check my gamelog.

this sounds interesting. i want this set up

Cvar e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy (=40) must be INSIDE 64 to 2048
Cvar e_detail_materials_view_dist_z (=256) must be INSIDE 64 to 128
Cvar r_beams (=2) must be INSIDE 3 to 4
Cvar r_coronas (=0) must be EQUAL TO 1
Cvar r_dyntexatlascloudsmaxsize (=12) must be INSIDE 24 to 32
Cvar r_dyntexatlasspritesmaxsize (=8 ) must be INSIDE 16 to 32
Cvar r_envtexupdateinterval (=0.01) must be INSIDE 0.05 to 0.1
Cvar r_flares (=0) must be EQUAL TO 1
Cvar r_imposterratio (=3) must be INSIDE 1 to 2
Cvar r_texskyresolution (=2) must be INSIDE 0 to 1

Oddly enough (maybe because I was spec or the only one in server?) it didnt kick me, just spam my console with warnings.

Try this, make sure u change the r_width and r_heigh cmd's so it doesnt run in 1920x1200 unless
u want it to

r_hacks = 0
then you can get in

also try the above suggestions, the cvar limits we have are:
e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy IN 64 2048
e_detail_materials_view_dist_z IN 64 128
e_particles_lod IN 0.5 2
e_lod_ratio IN 1 10
e_lod_min IN 0 2
