=======================================================
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Juiced2 is demanding for hardware. If you are experiencing slow down or choppy
game play, there are a number of things you can try to improve bottlenecks in
various areas of your system.
To increase the frame rate you will typically find reducing the video
resolution and antialiasing, both of which are selectable from the
Juiced2Config, should help.
Reduce the visual quality sliders from the in-game options.
Slow down from select, older audio drivers; you can test this by switching off
from the troubleshooting options available in juiced2Config, where you find
significant improvements. It is often the case that updating to a later driver
from the respective vendor's website can fix the issue. We have found this on a
number of different configurations, particularly from on-board motherboard
solutions.
Background Applications and Performance.
Programs that run in the background, while on the Internet, such as ICQ, web
browsers, voice communication applications, or file sharing programs are likely
to reduce the speed at which Juiced2 plays. Turning off these Internet-specific
applications can also increase your game speed. Antivirus and firewall software
also commonly contribute to performance issues. If you experience performance
problems with Antivirus or firewall software try to configure the software to
exclude Juiced2 from security checks. Contact your software vendor for details.
System RAM and Performance
Another method of increasing performance is to add memory to your system.
Juiced2 can consume a great deal of memory, causing the system to use virtual
memory; a process that is slower than using RAM directly. While the speed of
your processor is a factor in the performance of the game, additional memory can
greatly enhance the game performance on baseline systems. Please ensure that
virtual memory is enabled in your operating system.
Dual Core and Performance
Juiced2 is designed for multicore systems, and will run best on systems with 2
or more cores. Running a dual or quad core processor is one of the best ways to
improve performance.
Updated Video Drivers
It is highly recommended that you install the latest drivers for you video
card. These can be downloaded from your video card manufacturer's website. Some
older drivers have been found to cause stalls, slow down and graphical issues.
Updated Sound Drivers
If you are experiencing problems with audio, or general performance problems,
you should check with your soundcard manufacturer to see if there are updated
drivers available. These can usually be obtained from the soundcard manufacturer
or system vendor website. Some older drivers have been found to cause regular
stalls and slow down.
Motherboard Drivers
Often motherboard drivers are overlooked when updating systems, and as a result
most computers are running very old versions that simply do not work properly
and may cause very noticeable slow downs and stability issues. Please check with
your motherboard manufacturer to see if there are updated drivers available.
=======================================================
Known Issues
The game can sometimes hang during play with older NVIDIA drivers, 162.18 have
been found to be stable
Slow down with some older audio drivers; be sure to update audio drivers to
latest available from the respective vendor
There are known issues with the Realtek High Definition Audio sound card. To
resolve these issues, download and install the latest drivers from Windows
Update or from the manufacturer.
=======================================================
Juiced2Config
This configuration program will be executed on installation of Juiced2_HIN. Run
this again to setup basic configuration such as resoloution and anti-aliasing.
You can also access troubleshooting options.
Widescreen - corrects aspect ratio when playing on widescreen monitors
Anti-aliasing - 0 is off, 4 is the maximum setting.
NVIDIA specfic options
You will find the following NVIDIA specific options selectable via
Juiced2Config: -
CSAA - CSAA produces antialiased images that rival the quality of 8x or 16x
MSAA (MultiSample Anti-Aliasing), while introducing only a minimal performance
hit over standard (typically 4x) MSAA. Seleting this option switches CSAA
functionality on for selected anti-aliasing quality levels.
PCF - Percentage-closer filtering (PCF), hardware assisted shadow mapping, for
smoother, higher performance, projected shadows.
These will be selectable only if your hardware is capable and greyed out in
other cases.
