General System Performance: 
1. Check your system against the published System Requirements above. 
- The minimum specification is the basic requirement to play the game smoothly. At this 
specification, performance may vary or be quite slow at times and does not guarantee that 
you will always see a particular frame rate. Below this specification the game may not run. 
- The optimal specification (if provided) should provide smooth game play in almost all 
situations. However, because the game universe is complex and varied, there may 
occasionally be situations in which even this specification is pushed to its limits. 
 
2. Make sure that your PC is configured for best performance. 
- Processor speed, graphics card and available memory are all important factors. 
- Update motherboard drivers where possible, and in particular update any additional drivers if 
you have on-board chipsets such as sound.  
- Keep your operating system and drivers up to date, but do not automatically assume that 
newer is faster and better. If you find that a driver version is slow or unstable, remove it and 
reinstall one that you know is good. Use a driver cleaner between versions. 
- Do not run any software in the background. In particular, switch off applications that access 
the Internet as these often check to see if the connection is still there, causing pauses. 
- Make sure your PC is clean of viruses and spyware, which can slow a PC down as well as 
causing other problems. When playing, however, you should consider switching off your anti-
virus software, since this too can slow things down. 
 
3. Set the in-game settings so that they are appropriate for your specification. 
- Playing at a lower resolution is the simplest way to reduce the load on your graphics card, 
but there are a few cases where graphics cards seem to work better at specific resolutions so 
try higher resolutions and see what works for you. 
- Anti-aliasing (AA) provides smoother edges to objects so that they don't appear jagged. 
However, anti-aliasing is demanding of processing power, so you should only consider using 
it on mid- to high-end graphics cards. 
- The Automatic Quality Control (AQC) system is a built-in feature to try to prevent frame rates 
from dropping too low and should be left switched on for all but the highest spec systems. 
- Use in-game settings rather than driver settings where possible. Many drivers allow you to 
force features such as AA or vsync, but these will normally adversely affect performance. 
-

Try switching Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) off or on. Most systems either ignore it 

if they don't support it or use it fine if they do. 
 
4. The game comes with graphics settings that you can change to improve performance. 
At the startup screen: - Texture resolution: HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW (default is HIGH) 

   - Anisotropic filtering: ON or OFF (default is ON) 
   - Shader Quality: HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW (default is HIGH) 

In the game: - Post processing (glows): ON or OFF (default is ON) 
 
Basic Errors: 
1. Graphical errors. 
- The most common causes of graphical errors are issues with the driver, which may have 
errors, or may simply be corrupt.  
2. Sound errors. 
- The most common causes are audio codecs. Try removing, adding or adjusting their 
priorities in Control Panel.
