Any CivilizationIV.ini Experts out there? 2nd Opinion needed
I tried to ramp up the game performance so I can reduce lag/MAF on giant map playing c2c, i've changed graphics to low, 0 AA, low resolution textures, 1366 x 720 res.
I would like a 2nd opinion if anything in my .ini here is glaringly wrong. thanks
