Aliens: Colonial Marines Tips

[TIP] Tweak advanced/hidden settings via PecanGame.ini, PecanEngine.ini & PecanCompat.ini

This title was tested on Crossover 13.1.3

No matter if you are trying to squeeze every bit of performance you can get from your old machine or if you are just trying to improve the visuals of the game, using the PecanGame.ini, PecanEngine.ini, PecanCompat.ini to do this is recommended. But be careful, you can easily mess up things, if you don't know what you are doing. Be sure to backup your ACM bottle/settings, just in case something goes wrong.

On a default installation path, you can find both .ini's in: /home/username/Documents/my games/Aliens Colonial Marines/PecanGame/Config

Via these files you can adjust and tweak several settings for the title, such as "bSmoothFrameRate" and some other useful game hacks. Via the PecanCompat.ini you can even toggle on a few features that are turned off at default, which will raise the graphics level a bit further.

Quote: "Framerate Smoothing:Framerate smoothing is a variable that attempts to sort of improve the change in frame-rates in the game. This however can actually cause some performance drop. If you have variable fram-rates in the game along with stuttering, you might want to disable it." 

In my case, setting "bSmoothFrameRate" from "TRUE" to "FALSE" actually bumped my fps in certain situations. Ofc, your expierence may vary. PC gaming is all about tweaking and optimizing, especially on Linux - king of the hill in terms of tweaking and adjusting things.
