1. Edit the preference.xml
You find this file in your Personal Application Data Folder. Something like this (on Windows XP):
C:\Documents and Settings\your Username\Application Data\wargaming.net\WorldOfTanks
In this Folder you'll find the preference.xml which can be edited with Notepad.
If you don' find this Folder on first try you could use the Windows Search Function.
There shouldn't be that many preference.xml on your Computer.
In the File search for this Part:
<entry>
<label> TERRAIN_MESH_RESOLUTION </label>
<activeOption> 1 </activeOption>
</entry>
You can Set 3 different activeOptions:
0 - high (Standard)
1 - medium
2 - low
This gives a quite noticeable FPS Boost. I set it to 1 and got around 10 FPS more which is ok for me.
You might notice that Tanks sink a little into the ground because thats what this Option stands for.
The detail in which the Terrain Surface is modelled. You won't notice any optical difference though.
2.Disable Gunsmoke
There are probably many people having massive FPS drops when firing the gun in Sniper mode.
Here is what i did to disable it:
Go to the following Folder inside your Game Folder: D:\Programs\World of Tanks\res\particles\Tank
Inside this Folder Rename the following Files from this:
shot_big.xml
shot_big_PT.xml
shot_big_SAU.xml
shot_main.xml
shot_mb_main.xml
shot_mb_small.xml
shot_small.xml
shot_small_auto.xml
to this:
shot_big.xml_
shot_big_PT.xml_
shot_big_SAU.xml_
shot_main.xml_
shot_mb_main.xml_
shot_mb_small.xml_
shot_small.xml_
shot_small_auto.xml_
Do NOT Rename shot_MTLS_auto.xml as this seems to remove the Tracers.
Instead of the _ you can choose any other Character you like. Windows will show you a warning about
the World will explode if you change the Files from xml to bloddy Hell but you can just ignore that.
If you got anny problems just ask me and i try to solve them,
