[PC] Bulletstorm Tweak thread

OPENING INI FILES: Bulletstorm uses heavy encryption on pretty much everything in the game, more so apparent, the INI files. Do note that the developer encrypted these files for some blatant reasons. Google for bulletstorm ini editor. Use at your own risk and wisely.

Better splash

Better splash (convert to BMP then replace with \StormGame\Splash\PC\Splash.bmp)

Why does every new game have that stupid mouse smoothing enabled?

Better splash

May be it's "replace the"?

Apparently there are performance problems with certain, common PC display resolutions, or, any resolution that isn't divisible by '8':

I don't currently have the game, but when I do (if it hasn't already been patched) I'll try it out.

can't open the inis... :/ (gives me chinese stuff and all)

Download the Bulletstorm INI editor and use it to open the files.

Someone has been reading my first post!

Here's another possible fix for the GFWL and Physx issues people seem to be having.
http://www.bulletstormforum.com/bulletstorm-pc/750-working-fix-gfwl-physx-issues.html

I'm trying to find information on all of the problems now, so when I get the game I don't spend valuable gaming time finding the solutions.
Seems like there are a lot of problems, lol.

Added to first post.

 

[Plumb_Drumb]

Actually I'm wondering if that will fix my issue with Viva Pinata too. The GFWL overlay wasn't working in that game.

Anyway.
You should add the screen resolution thing to the list as well (or, the link to the thread anyway... that's a lot of text); it could give people a surprising boost.

 

[Kantham]

I did after I spotted your edited post. Feel free to post more.

Low poly "brown" characters when you get close to them (They look fine from far):
Download the .ini in this thread (Follow the instructions from the guy), then you can lower everything but World Detail if the game is too demanding in performance. Don't touch World Detail or it will do it again.
This also fixes the blue fog on the main menu bug. I do not think it fixes the divisible by 8 resolution bug, but it might. Anyways I had that but with High World Detail I can't play in 1680x1050 so it doesn't matter.

btw, Kantham, that nxcooking.dll is only in sysWOW64 for the 64 bit OS's (not sure about XP 64 though).
For the 32-bit Windows it would be in system32.
