Decrease FPS Lag
If you don't know what FPS is, you've probably not been playing enough video games. FPS is Frames Per Second. What it means is the rate in which the images for games are updated. FPS is vital for Toribash, since if it's too slow, you may find it difficult to play.
If your FPS is low (for expample, mine is 10) the game will appear to lag. For those like me that don't have good/working graphics cards, here is the solution to your problems.
1. Create a shortcut to Toribash.
2. Right click and select properties.
3. In the "Target" area, put the following behind it:
-width x -height y
4. Replace the
x and
y with any numbers with a 4:3 ratio. To get
x, multiply
y times 1.33333333... and round to the nearest number. To get
y divide by 1.33333333....
5. Try Toribash and repeat until you get a satisfying result.
6. Also try with Fullscreen on. This will make a small window, appear big!
(To turn Fullscreen on, go to setup, and replace the 0 behind "fullscreen" with a 1. This will distort the game if you don't have your aspect ration correct, or if the window is extremely small [Like 400 x 300])
Note: Some menus may be cut off. I suggest using 640 and 480 (I got 15 fps, that's only 5 more, but it is pretty noticeable). All that will be cut off is the quit, but you can select it using the arrow keys, putting the mouse over "Single player", pushing "up" on the keypad, then pressing enter. Also, if it is too small, multilayer may not work because the menu will adapt to the size of the screen, and you wont be able to select a server.
If you have horrendous lag, or want Toribash to be very small, 400 and 300 do very well (I got 25 fps).
This will
not let you enable shaders if you couldn't before.
Example of target:
"C:\Program Files\Toribash-3.06\toribash.exe" -width 640 -height 480
Be sure to make ONE space behind the ending ", and do not remove the " or it will not work. If it doesn't work, this is most likely your problem.
For those whom do not believe:
(my desktop looks like that cause I recently had to reformat
. My HDD got corrupted; Shell32.dll to be exact)
I would like it if you posted your before and after FPS.
I request before and after FPS ONLY. Not just before FPS. I only want you to post your FPS if this guide helped you.
