// Updates for advanced users (recommended):
You can disable / enable HPET for the best performance, you can search for this on google and read carefully !
Disable all the power saving option in the bios and windows
Disable in-built audio system from motherboard, these usually uses windows high-definition / realtek drivers and causes alot of troubles like audio stuttering, better using a cheap external sound card at this point
Disable contents indexing of the hard drive where windows is located
Re-locate the page-filing trough another hard-disk, out from the hard-disk where your APB is placed
Re-locate the Asset-cache folder (the one inside APB folder), you have to link that in another hard-disk there should be a Karyl tutorial
// Updates for everyone that uses nvidia:
Texture filtering trilinear optimization should be ON (screenshot mistake) thanks Dive for let me notice that
A lot of thanks to 'Steamcloud' for posting this. I think this thread helped a bunch of people getting into the basics of tweaking mechanics.
