V. SOUND SETTINGS

I usually turn the menu music and map loading music off. This is especially important if you do not have a lot of RAM. It seems to take up a lot of memory to produce the menu music and map loading screen music. It definetly helps perfomance to eliminate menu music. Turn your sound settings to low or medium for a perfomance increase. Use the least amount of channels that you're comfortable with. I know I need sound to play this game, so do some expirementing with sound channels. OCCLUSION is when a tree or an object blocks sound. You might want to turn this off. I really don't hear any difference whether its on or off. But, I bet it takes up memory and cpu cycles. Get the latest drivers for your sound card.
