svl7 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks a lot for this summary! Disabling the origin overlay really improves the behavior of the mouse, check it out guys, a big improvement when you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I edited the Optimization Guide with a user.cfg file, so you don't have to enter commands in ingameconsole eachtime you play You can customize the user.cfg file with every command that is known by ingameconsole.

svl7 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 That's pretty cool. Still have to check out the FXAA injector for AMD, haven't tried it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Upcoming update on FXAA Injector:danoc1 v1.25-B2K maps optimized-contrast adjusted-sun (more yellow now, looks more realistic)-rooms with no additional lightning-->little darker now-minimal blueness is completely removed-sharpness optimized-FXAA Shader optimized-better performance (user.cfg added, probably it has the same commands I described above in the OptGuide)FXAA=PB ban?!?!?!:There's a discussion ongoing on the net, that the FXAA Injector could result in PB bans. Dice Community Manager Daniel Matros twittered Dice will check to find a solution so it's 100% impossible to get a ban by using FXAA or SMAA.I use the FXAA Injector since it's out and never got kicked or even banned by PB and yes I update my PB regularly. On the net I found no entry that someone who used the FXAA Injector got banned.Let's see what Dice will communicate the next few weeks about the subject... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Update 3: Danoc1's FXAA Injector 1.25 is out!!! Two versions this time: normal + performance Both contains a user.cfg file, if you have your own copy the commands danoc1 did to your own user.cfg (the way I did) Danoc1's user.cfg contains commands RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable + RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit so watch out you don't have double commands in your user.cfg. Don't forget to delete older versions first, before copying the new version ;D See you on the battlefield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sargent Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Any other left handed players? I use my mouse in my left hand and am finding that I have reach issues with key binds as there are so many for weapons, steady of scope etc. I am getting a new mouse with more buttons and hope that helps a bit but I know I need a better key bind set up for my right hand. I try and use the arrow keys for movement but don't have enough keys within reach for other stuff. was thinking about using the number pad which will give me more keys within easy reach but would mean a learning curve all over again. So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Please no suggestions that would involved spending money, I have looked for gaming hardware and for left handed people its very rare and most time not worth it. over the this coming weekend when I get my mouse I will be on our server testing out setups so if you see me in there and want to help out as a moving target that would be cool. I feel like a noob gamer having to figure this stuff out all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.If I were a left-handed player, I would use the IJKL keys for moving and the other keys around them for grenade, use,... Don't forget to disable the trackpad, otherwise your aiming will be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
