Issues fixed
Low FPS/stuttering
The low FPS is due to the game constantly trying to connect to a GameSpy server that no longer exists. A temporary fix to the issue is disconnecting the computer from the internet.
There are two methods available:
Method 1
Modifying the FSW.dll file[1]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game> .
- Open
FSW.dll with a hex editor such as HxD.
- Using the Find function (Ctrl+F), search for the text string
%s.available.gamespy.com . There will be exactly one entry.
- Replace the text with
www.example.com/fixes/%s (or any other working link that is the same length as the original and contains %s somewhere. This particular link is guaranteed to work.)
- Save the file.
- Launch the game.
|
Method 2
Add hosts file entry[1]
|
- Run Notepad as an administrator.
- Open
%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Add this line to the bottom of the file:
127.0.0.1 fswpc.available.gamespy.com
- Save your changes and close the file.
