Ok, this trick is only for Windows XP users, so sorry YOu can do this on other operating systems, I'm only explaining it for those users howerver. Also I only advise this if you have 20 GB or more left on your computer, as this takes up from 1GB to 4GB to do. Anyways, it doesnt just improve the performance of ESF, it improves the performance for all your games. Also
Go to Start -> Then COntrol Panel -> Performance and Maintanance -> Under Pick a task...adjust visual effects
You'll see at the bottom theres something for Virtual memory. Click the tab that says change.
Now, the thing is, decide how much mbs you want to give up to increase the performance. Make sure you select custom size, or it won't work. I selected 4096 mb (the max). Decide according to your own computer. Note that it's also in mb so one GB is 1000 mb. Place that amount in both the inital and max sizes then hit set. Then close the tab and hit apply. You may have to reset your computer. And bam! Increased gamming performance.
Now, what does Virtual memory do? Well it acts as extra ram. This makes your computer run faster. This doubles or even triples the speed you can run programs.
My computer stats:
128 MB Ram
80 GB HD
Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 420
Windows XP
1.0 Ghz Intel Celeron
With this enabled I can run games that normally require 256 MB ram and 512 MB RAM. I have never had a problem running ESF nor any other game for that matter. I have the detail graphics set to their highest even for multiplayer and it's still awsome. I dso that for all my games. No crashes no nothing. When I host a game, people can use Gohan's Sheild and discs cause they don't crash my server, even if they get stuck in the air.
So if you have 500 MB or 4 GB to waste on this...it's worth it.
