Alright, weve all played Fifa 10.. its **** in the graphics area.
Well i found another post about fifa 09 somewhere and found that it will work on 10 aswell. heres what you gotta do.

Go to EA Sports\Fifa 10\Data\cmn\

Open cfg_pc_h.ini (the 'h' is high quality graphics, so choose the 1s depending on what your settings are at.

Change RENDER_RATE_MODE = 7, to 2 or 3. This will improve performance significantly. Dont go to 1 or the game will go slow motion.

Ok heres the 2nd trick, this will make the players look better from far away and there faces wont look like fifa99.

Open the same file you opened before and scroll down.
Find this:
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 1.806
PLAYER_LOD_MED_NEAR = 1.856
PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.714
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.764
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.21
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_NEAR = 0.26
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 1.872
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 1.922
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.660
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.710
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0

Ok now highlight this and delete it and replace it with this:
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 1.806
PLAYER_LOD_MED_NEAR = 1.856
PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.714
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.764
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.21
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_NEAR = 0.26
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.01
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.01
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_FAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_FAR = 0.25

This will make a big improvement.
Enjoy ;D

EDIT: Also try this :)

go to control panel and open NVIDIA Control Panel
then under '3D Settings' click 'Manage 3D Settings'
and then on select program, click browse and find fifa10.exe

ok now turn most of the things on, if you dont know some things dont turn them on.
Things you should turn on:
Anistrophic filtering
antialiasing - gamma correc.
' ' - mode
' ' - setting
max. pre rendered frames - 2
texture filtering - quality
' ' ' ' - trillnear optimization
triple buffering
vertical sync

[Turn off Deapth of Field for this to work]

(those are the ones i have on, and remember my computer is heaps good so these settings may cause a lag for some people.)

Nevermind. It worked now cause i removed the file from the game and put it in desktop. Then moved it back into the game.

Will test it soon.

Thanks

if anyone running fifa 10 on windows 7 and experience choppy graphics, go to guru3d.com and download nvidia 190.03 drivers. Those drivers resolve every issue with fifa 10.

i have done this & see no change. i know you said slight, but its not there for me.

ummm, maybe your graphics settings are different, apply those changes up there to every cfg_pc in the folder (h,m,l). tell me how it goes

found another way to improve the graphics :D
but this is recommended for good PCs only.

i know this for nvidia but not raedon maybe its the same for raedon idk.
ok this is what you do.
go to control panel and open NVIDIA Control Panel
then under '3D Settings' click 'Manage 3D Settings'
and then on select program, click browse and find fifa10.exe

ok now turn most of the things on, if you dont know some things dont turn them on.

Thanks anyway! :)

kkur, can you tell me, what the parameters mean? like PLAYER_LOD_NEAR etc.
Thanks before

level of detail

dunde
22-10-2009, 01:37:PM
I tried to change the values to be exactly the same with your setting, and yes it looks better, but I feel my player's move seems not smooth, may be because my PC or my GPU 's not strong enough (AMD 64 X2 3000+, NVIDIA 7300GS, almost 2 years old). So what -1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 means? which one loads the GPU more? Can I compromise the setting, tuning down the level of detail a little, to maintain the perform?

Thanks before,
sorry about my bad English

put render rate to 2?
idont know man, ummm try using half of the altered settings on the config and half defult?

try duong's patch.. It uses the same config_h.ini, but somehow it doesnt slow down the game.. And the game's graphics feels better too..

Here are my LOD settings

PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -0.1
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_HIGH_FAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERSHADOW_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYERACCS_LOD_FAR = 0.25

as long as you have a good dual core cpu and a good GPU,the above settings make FIFA 10 look sweet with no LOD drop out.
