+ | # Save your changes. | ||
+ | {{ii}}Changing this parameter can increase FPS and smoothness of the gameplay. Even despite the fact that in the comments to this option is indicated explicitly and is intended for 6 with a large number of processor cores, in fact this option activates a more optimal load on the threads. | ||

+ | # Find the line <code>backbuffer_count</code> and set the value to <code>3</code>. | ||
+ | # Save your changes. | ||
+ | # And use [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/84-d3doverrider/ D3DOverrider] to force triple buffering on. | ||
+ | {{ii}}This greatly increases the smoothness and also greatly prevents a drop in the frame rate. | ||
+ | {{--}}Usually the use of triple buffering only works with vertical sync enabled. But instead of using vertical synchronization, you can use FastSync in the settings of the NVidia video card driver, as well as turn off vertical synchronization in the settings of the game itself. A similar option for amd owners is called as Enhanced Sync. This mode will not limit the FPS, but also allows you to activate triple buffering. | ||
+ | {{--}}These options should be used additionally, only if the above tips do not provide the expected improvements, since their activation may increase the input lag. | ||

+ | # Open <code>config.ini</code>. | ||
+ | # Find the line <code>auto_cull_radius</code> and set the value to <code>10</code>. | ||
+ | # Save your changes. | ||
+ | {{ii}}It should be used only in case of problems with FPS, as this option does not give any advantages over other players, it only removes objects and reduces the quality of models with sufficient distance. | ||

- All versions require Battle.net DRM and a constant internet connection for all game modes.
Essential improvements
- All of the following tweaks are applicable also for Black Ops 3, and they may have similar names. This is due to the fact that in both games a relatively identical engine is used and it has been modified further for this game.
- Take into account one important point, all manual changes to the settings in the configuration files can be overwritten and changed to those that the game considers necessary. To avoid this problem, it is worth changing the configuration files during the running game and mark the files as read-only, as well as not enter the settings in the game itself, even if nothing changes on your part. Also, some settings can be duplicated in the folder with the id of the player profile, there they should also be changed.
