Fix texture flickering, physics issues, EAX, mouse (tested with Steam version)
Running this game without having made any modifications leads to flickering textures and major physics problems.
Instructions[citation needed]

- Create a shortcut from the game executable in the game "System" folder (bia.exe).
- Use shortcut to set compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3.
- Set run as administrator (not sure if this step is absolutely necessary).
- Use the Task Manager or better something like Process Lasso to set game executable (bia.exe) CPU affinity to a single core, preferably not the first core (core 0) as the windows system uses that.

%APPDATA%\Gearbox Software\Brothers In Arms\<user-id>\
- Set MouseSmoothingMode to 0.
- Set bEnableEAX to true.
- Edit bia.ini in same folder.
