Quote from Tewai;2436851Dude i had decent FPS like 20-35 in town and 40-70 in open areas but i used that thing for unpark cores and whole game and fps fcked up
any idea what now ? I see only grey npc and ppl
before everythink loaded instantly... got ATI
it has nothing to do with the app.just delete S1Engine.ini and start the game.See if it solves the problem.
guide updated :
- alternative download links added (it seems the other links are down for the moment)
i used to have good fps before the F2p patch update, in zulfikar (the main nexus starting area) i used to have 30 fps with the highest settings in the crowd and in the middle of the Nexus crowd while fighting the bosses i used to have 25 fps and i was actually able to hit those bosses. now my fps is under 10 with lowest settings and i get bad fps in velika which is not as crowded as Zulfikar after nexus x.x.
im using a GTX 670 OC from gigabyte and intel i7 3770 (3.9 with turbo).
did they change the graphics so that it got heavier? coz the fps decreases really fast when i see few players (ofc it wasnt decreasing like that before)

they didn`t change anything.I don`t have any problems.Sure at nexus FPS is lower and so is in some instances, it goes down a bit but it gets up again, so no big deal.You should get between 40-70 FPS pretty often in open areas and between 35-55 FPS when fighting, at least I know I do.You have a bad ass PC so you shouldn`t have any problems.Just make sure everything in the guide is done correctly.I just wanna exclude user error.
P.S. I get around 20 FPS at Nexus.

I`m afraid you are the only one with this problem, just delete all the config files mentioned in the guide and start the game again.I don`t understand why this is happening simply because it doesn`t make any sense.Something went wrong there.Do what I said and pay attention.Most of the times it`s user error.What PC configuration do you have?
Hello, I have the same specs as you but instead of GT630 mine is GT640, anyway i followed your guide and my fps got better,but after a while browsing the auction house the fps went back to 15-30, also the textures dont load instantly, they take like 15-30 seconds to load.
I use the latest nvidia drivers, is that a problem ?

I really don`t understand what makes the textures load slower....I`m on 296.16 driver, the one from the Asus website, in my case.I don`t think there`s a problem with new drivers as I have tested myself, but give it a go.See what happens.Install the driver from your laptop manufacturer website.
Wow thank you very much it fixed much of my lag issue.
It still lag a little sometimes and the textures take a few seconds to load also for me.
But a big thank!
edit: I have NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M
ok, i get the feeling i misunderstood the problem with the texture thing, can someone please explain exactly and in detail what do you mean by textures loading slower?
give me an example....

It pretty much means that when you run into an area with NPCs/Players the appear as gray silhouettes instead of textured models untill they are properly loaded. This happens to me quite often but never for my friend who has a beast of a machine.

My PC config is: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition, Gigabyte Radeon HD 6950 2GB DDR5, 2x Kingston HyperX Genesis XMP 4GB 1600MHz, MB Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5.
And my FPS went down by 50% or more 3 day ago. Before i was ok with FPS and that npc/player texture loading was like: when there was f.e. 100 npc/ppl in area - 90% was loaded instantly when i arrived to that area and like 10% were grey, now it's 10% loaded and 90% grey and FPS 5-15 in town I tried to delete only S1engine.ini but i'll try to delete all S1 when i come home from work.
ok, I see the issue here.But infact it`s not an issue at all.Since the 2.0 patch, they decided to change the way characters are displayed, especially when there are large groups in one place, to better optimize rendering.A good example would be Nexus, where this change should help.Now I don`t know EXACTLY how this implemented optimization works in different given conditions but what I do know is that, yes, in some situations character textures load slower.I am experiencing the same thing just as you are.So, no worries, this is normal.For some may react differently, depending on the hardware you have.
And surely, it has nothing to do with drivers, configs or anything guide related, except in game video settings maybe.I did not change anything that would affect character textures.
If you go here https://forum.tera-europe.com/showthread.php?t=142247 and scroll down a bit to "Nexus adjustments", you will find this line and I quote "Optimised the performance of TERA when a huge number of players are displayed.."
My guess is, this didn`t change stuff only for Nexus, but rather for the whole game.
Have a nice one ~
It still lags badly for me in dungeons (5-15 fps) I followed all your steps but it did not help that much, I cant see why, it helped for the other guy with GT640m a lot but it didnt help me that much ... also i dont think it is the nvidia driver that is causing the problems, any suggestions ?

nVIDIA CP > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Make sure Tera.exe is not on integrated graphics.If it is, use nVIDIA Inspector again.
thaks man for the tip went from 30 frames on lowest settings to 30 on one of the highest setting. this realy helped
BTW i had 1 FPS on Nexus... what pc should i have to have more than 1 FPS :X No matter what video settings i used, 1 FPS even on lowest graphic settings. I really think that i messed things up when i used that core unparking because before everythink was fine. Oh and i was watching today how fast game starts, when you log in and click PLAY on launcher, you'll get that small TERA image before you'll get to those videos and game menu, i always had it there for like 1-2 seconds, verry fast loading, and today like 6+ seconds every time. I'm trying to make some extra profile for TERA in AMD Control center but i think it wont help anyway. I'm just wondering why it messed up right now and not right after patch...

You can use the CPU App to park cores back, then reboot PC and see if it solves the problem, although I really don`t think that`s the issue.Give it a go anyway, sometimes PC`s just ignore logic 
nVIDIA just released a new driver 314.07.Those of you which still haven`t had luck, I advise you to try this one.

wish i know if all cores were parked or only some of them, had option 0 1 2 and didnt pay really attention when unparking 
will try park all of them and will see
