The following settings are located within the bia.ini file (located in SYSTEM folder).

Don't forget to make a BACKUP of your original bia.ini file, and then make sure your modified bia.ini file is set to READ ONLY to prevent the game overwriting the modifications you've just made.

Tweaking them *may* improve your game, please add more if you find them:

Graphics

quote:

---

[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=32

---

Try increasing the allocated cache size to suit your gfx card (Ive set this to 64 for my 128mb card).

Sound

quote:

---

[ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
UseEAX=False
Use3DSound=False

---

These are disabled by default. Setting these to TRUE may enable EAX/Surround Sound ingame.
Update: If you set both to true and get an echo effect, set UseEAX=False to see if that fixes it.

Gore

quote:

---

[Engine.GameInfo]
GoreLevel=3

---

As mentioned in other threads, adding "GoreLevel=3" increases the gore apparently.

Though read only may cause MP errors as stated by spawn.

Whenever I change these, play a game, and check them, they always revert to the default ****, any reason why?

^make sure its read only.

Right click on the bia.ini after you make your modifications and click on properties and Check the Read-Only check box and press ok.

I cannot find an ini file name just int file name and how do I even open it?

Edit them with notepad.



And ther are the first bia files in the system folder... there are two bia files. Right click and look at properties and see what the format is. Same with user. its on the bottom.

I have done the gore thing and I havent noticed any thing different I dont think it does anything

setting surround to true did indeed give me 5.1 will try 3dsound now

is there a .ini modification that make Lan Play playable with only one player ( me ) ?
I'd like to see the maps!!!!!

I HAVE to clear something up for you guys:

The CacheMegSize parameter is ONLY for cacheing online objects (like maps and other things).

Proof?

Set it to one ("1") and the game will still start.

(You can't set it to zero ("0"), however, because it needs at least one MB to initialize the engine)

This is the same for ALL games that use Unreal Engine. This goes for Splinter Cell, Raven Shield, UT2004 (obviously) and others.

I just thought you guys would want to know that...

ok where is this gore thing, all i have is this

[Engine.GameInfo]
bLowGore=False
bVeryLowGore=False
bNoShadows=False
bBlobShadowsOnly=False
bCheatsEnabled=True

nothing with numbers to set, and im assuming i want what is false up there set to false...and adding in that line doesnt do jack...anyone unlock authentic mode yet?

You have to add it at the bottom of your other values, save it, then set the bia.ini file to READ ONLY.

I need to get BIA working at 85Hz. I have changed the value from 60 to 85 at DesiredRefreshRate=85 under [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]. (default.ini)

But it's not working! It still keeps on running at 60Hz.

Someone a solution?

Thanks.

EDIT: Hmm, i will try BIA.INI I think that's the solution.

I tried the EAX and 3D sound, but all it did was make everything echo.

How to keep bodies from disappearing?

Setting the refresh rate in the bia.ini file may not have any effect (please post to let everyone know if it does). If your using an ATI RADEON card with the Catalyst drivers, you can configure all games to run at the same refresh rate of your desktop via the DISPLAYS tab of the Display Properties by setting the REFRESH RATE OVERRIDE to "same as desktop" (and set your desktop to 85Hz).

Try using the following to remove the echo:

UseEAX=False
Use3DSound=True

See the my own little patch thread by Scripter011, he knows of a means to do this.

[ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
UseEAX=True
Use3DSound=False
Channels=64

-
EAX is for 5.1 audio

You can also change to which EAX you want - 1 2 or 3

3DSound is usually for 2 speakers I believe.. Or headphones to give the effect of well.. 3d sound :S lol

Not a good Idea to enable both!
